It's baffling, because normalizing audio is a basic step in making a game, or movie, or lots of things. And even is they weren't loud, they still sound very grating.

Certain sound effects are very, very loud. On a very basic, technically objective level, one thing really sticks out: unbalanced audio. No guns, no bosses, generic graphics, abysmal melee combat, weak upgrades, poor writing (spellcheck anyone?), grating music, playing as a drone 1/2 the time, and on and on. But nearly everything I liked about it is absent from the sequel. First one wasn't perfect, but still really good. C'mon even La-Mulana didn't go that far and we are talk about Metroidvania designed to break your brain.Īlso Athetos was already killed with Axiom Disruptor many times over - speedrunners do this by teleporting in a top right corner of boss room which makes battle drones go crazy under you doing basically nothing to harm you while you have a stright line of fire to Athethos weakpoint.I was really looking forward to it. To be fair while Castlevania had special endings based on exploration (soul puzzle in C: AoS, specific items present - C: SoTN) but none of them were mindbreaking.


Or it was all a dream and Athethos came here to wake you up. There is closure to the first act of Trace's story - he survived the ordeal, Rusalki is free, Athethos now is stardust. Tomas Happ already said he is working on sequel and open|strange ending was made specifically for such reasons.Ħ. Ofc it's possible and it's perfect for sequels. They're using him to get out from planet.ĥ. Well he doesn't have choice in the matter - he says NO they shut down his nanogates. Well it is no big secret at basically near the end Trace works with them because.

"AXIOMx-xxxxxx" family (where X is numbers and letters) - it even warns that if you input such code achievments will be disabled and stats not recorded.Ĥ. It supports numerical passcodes for the sake of inputing DEBUG mode passcodes of Elsenova brings up pathogen very early in the game and Trace asks if he is already infected - in Zi we see our first hallucination.ģ. Something similar has been present in Castlevania games, such as Aria of Sorrow.Ģ. Another that comes to mind clearing the Athetos fight with a specific weapon (likely the Axiom Disruptor), or otherwise in a special state.

I think one of the most fruitful avenues for exploration would be, as suggested in the Giant Bomb thread, to try for a full suite of "green stats".

There's a lot of circumstantial evidence. I'm getting the feeling that we're missing something big here.
