Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS)
With the news that there’s a new DS Castlevania game in the making, my explorey juices have started flowing again. This always seems to happen, and it usually results in me playing through all the others in anticipation. Having left Portrait of Ruin unfinished last time, though, means I have to do that first. Sometimes I think I’m borderline OCD. Anyhoo, I discovered (to my joy) that I’d left off just before Legion, who happens to be my favourite game boss of all time, so that eased me in gently. Then it was back to the castle, whippeding some skullotons, and then beating up an evil vampire girly. Then it’s off to the FOREST OF DOOM, which – despite the name – is mainly an indoor area, but never mind.
The Forest is a pretty small level, all things considered, but the end of level boss is a pain in the neck. It’s a combined frog-fishy thing and it has an orrible breath weapon that it seems impossible to avoid. I’ll get it in the end though.
