I imagine once you get the hang of this, you will be able to handle harder difficulty levels - but I'll be damned if I can hack it on

this game might be a lot of fun to play through a second time on a harder difficulty or without using magic in combat after you know how everything works but the first run is torture.

I played it through on the hardest difficulty available, and still only died a handful of times

In returning you can find crystals you missed, arks, attempt a difficulty trial (like beat the level in 3 mins etc) or simply replay it at a harder difficulty.

I have the game set on easy difficulty and I cannot imagine what the other two higher settings would be like

Castlevania for the Nes blew me away because it was pretty much the first horror themed game for any system and it had great gameplay, a nice difficulty curve, and imaginative boss battles

The difficulties in this one aren't that bad, either

There seems to be this cult of GoW fans that think the action game industry started off with GoW; it's true that this may be the first combat intensive western title of its kind, and GoW is certainly more popular in the west, due, mainly, to its more accessible difficulty level, but Japanese game companies were turning out tons of games like this way before GoW ever saw the light of day.

Try to 110% the game(one thing to note: You can't 110% the game until you beat each level on Paladin (the most difficult) difficulty

If you find all the gems on a level and complete the challenge, you just have to complete the level on the hardest difficulty in order to get 100%

This game is quite hardest difficulty is very challenging.-This game does not follow the trend of dumbing things down, the difficulty is some what around games like Ninja Gaiden

If I were to play through it again on the same difficulty I probably could easily zoom through it, so if I do end up playing it again it will be on a harder difficulty

You spend more time fighting colossal enemies that are boring to face and are pretty damn easy even on the toughest difficulty

When compared to most games where the hardest difficulty should be the normal made

When you open Paladin, it doesn't reset the game so you can you can just bump the difficulty and play through any stage you want with all your abilities in tact

I played it through on the hardest difficulty available, and still only died a handful of times

It lacks originality and true difficulty, and also screws with the castlevania universe.

If u knew and enjoy castlevania before it becomes metroidvania u will like and enjoy this game a lot more than the "reviewers" did.

Excellent condition thank u
