What I Played Today: May 27

Odin Sphere, 30 Second Hero

I got a little further in Odin Sphere, after screwing up again with the damn tutorials (I did figure out how to drop a damn item), and kicked the crap out of some lady who happens to be my sister, and then went to a mountain? A weird thing is that I spent a lot of resources in the final boss fight, and felt that I was screwed, only to find that I can just go back to the zone I was in before and pick up all those resources again. So...I guess if I have troubles, I’ll just go back in time and level up. Just like all RPGs.

I also got through the Hero 30 campaign of 30 Second Hero, which was an experience. I kept having trouble with the final level because there’s a huge gap between villages, a lot of places that I wanted to go, and some difficult minibosses throughout, but the fact that the last and worst level of the game took at most five minutes shows how tight this game is. It’s a clever game, not a lot of depth, but it doesn’t have to have a lot of depth. It changes the game up enough every few levels, requiring you to change your strategies, whether you rush or stay cool, whether you “farm” to get the equipment you need.

I also found out that there are alternate paths! Meaning if I do one thing during a level, I’ll get one level, and if I do another, I’ll get another. Obviously, I knew this, but it threw me through a bit of a loop, since I never found them when I backtracked. But there are like three other campaigns, so I might get around to tackling them.
