Forgot to equip the dragon mask. I killed shaft and Dracula in about 15 seconds.

Thought on the game? TBH I was kinda underwhelmed. I grew up playing circle of the moon on GBA so this kinda game was nothing new. Maybe if I had not it might have been better. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it.

Getting into PS1 games (never had one, only played ff7,ff9 and ff tactics) anything I should check out? I think im gonna try Alundra next.

Soul Reaver

Vampire swords are cooler than some poncy elf sword.

Symphony of the Night and Heroes of Might and Magic III are heavily flawed. Too easy, artificially extended, pointless content (dozens of swords and items) for one, terrible AI, inconsistent visuals and awful balance (LELgle Eye) for the other.
Yet they are widely praised and loved. Why is that? Are they "actually" good or do they just have some kind of addictive element or atmosphere? What are some other games like that?
