What I Played Today: April 19

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

I’ve finally gotten back to Castlevania over the past couple of days, after weeks of futilely trying to figure where exactly I’m supposed to be going. Somehow tonight I figured out a lot tonight...diving down into the lower levels of the castle, finding a secret passageway that I completely missed before, finding the next two forms that actually helped me get somewhere, including the elusive bat form, and managed to get to an important boss that I was totally not prepared for! And all of it without consulting any guide, like they did in the old days!

The game does throw a lot of stuff at me that I’m not understand. Familiars and one-use only items that make no sense to me. I don’t even know how to summon a familiar, or why I would. All I know is that I’ve got to give the entire castle one more score before I go up and face the man at the top again. Still, good to make some progress on that thing, after so long just dicking around.
