Also, this game seems amazing. A lot like one of the best games of all time Boktai, but without the dumb solar sensor. Some of the music is even extremely similar.
Surprised people didn't know this, but the Ghost Babel name was chosen in order to get the initials GB, referring of course to the game's appearance on Giant Bomb.
Yep, this game is imbalanced. Maybe its only flaw! But it's kinda fun to exploit your way through the second castle anyway.
The later SotN-like games in the series fix that for sure, but IMO never quite hit the same atmosphere successfully. The Nintendo DS 'vanias are excellent, but different.
Rondo will probably always be my favorite <3 So fun and perfect. Just played through it again on Halloween.
Also the second castle is so fun to explore. You just kinda go in any direction you want and eventually you'll gather all the stuff you need, which is awesome.
The "rod" series of weapons feel sooo good in this game. Shield rod's overrated, I love the moon rod. I mean, shield rod special moves are overpowered, sure, but you can always just soul steal if you want to be overpowered.
Also c'mon chat, tell Vinny about holding Up after doing hellfire! That's actually fun. He doesn't really need to know where to go that much.
