I remember making it to 8-4 when I was 7 or 8 years old but not understanding the maze and running out of time. Not long after that I got Mario 3 for Christmas and just moved onto that game. I don't know what compelled me to put this in yesterday, but I did and I had a blast.
UPDATE: I fixed it. Really random software conflict, but I'll post here in case it helps anyone else.
I have a Logitech A50 headset and use Logitech G Hub software for profiles. By default it creates "A50 Game" and "A50 Voice" profiles. As far as I can tell there is no difference between them, so I I just click whichever when swapping from my speakers to my headset. Usually it's the "Game" profile, but for whatever reason I've been on "Voice" since last week, when the problems started. I figured it may be an issue with my headset due to the clicking noise when I pressed the triggers on my Steam Controller when playing Onimusha. I switched the profile and not only did the clicking stop, it fixed the double input and keyboard prompts as well.
If I had to guess I think the triggers were activating something in the software?
Anyway, hope this helps anyone else having this issue.
Everything was fine for the first few weeks. 2 weeks ago I'm consistently getting the following issues:
I'm about to unplug this thing and go back to my Edge. Anybody have any idea what I can do here?
I have trouble even thinking about downsides. I guess the music gets a little repetitive (there's like 4-5 songs and every town has the same music). And I guess the story is a bit simplistic.
But the gameplay, artwork, and design are all immaculate. I love how it respects the player's time and lets you keep all your levels ups even after a loss. I love how the enemies all seem to know the game rules and dog pile the main character whenever he gets close (lol). I love how snappy and smooth everything is.
This is now up there with my favorites on Genesis. Really happy with this purchase.
Stellar game! I've finished Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, and Bloodlines in the past and I'm glad to notch this one as well. From what I understand people seem to call this one the "easy" one but I disagree, the last 4 stages absolutely destroyed me, repeatedly. Bosses weren't that tough outside of the final one but the platforming and insta-kills from falls and spikes were absurd, especially towards the end.
Curious about how this game lands in this sub. Did you like it? What are your thoughts on the difficulty?
It's beautiful, the combat is fun, and the story is actually pretty decent. I played on a repro cart with has the "DeJap" translation, which is actually really solid.
What holds it back for me are the random battles, specifically the frequency of them. The game is borderline unplayable without spamming Holy Bottles to reduce the frequency of encounters, and you can only hold 15 of them. This is excruciating, especially when walking all the way back through a completed dungeon (which the game forces you to do, there are no ropes and no fast travel), or when you're lost in a dungeon and the battles keep slowing you down and making things worse. It is so bad that, for me at least, it brings the game down from a 9/10 to a 7/10.
Still enjoyable, of course. For those that completed it, what did you think about it?
