The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Dark Omnipotent King

On Saturday night I finally finished Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow! Managed to get all the endings, and all the souls. Now I just need to wrap up Circle of the Moon and I’ll be ready to play through them all of them again! I still need to check out Maxim Mode in Harmony of Dissonance and Julius Mode in Aria of Sorrow.

I’d say my Tier list for the Advance Collection would be:

  1. Harmony of Dissonance
  2. Aria of Sorrow
  3. Circle of the Moon

I won’t include Dracula X on the list even though it was included with the collection, mainly because it’s a SNES game that should be compared to Rondo of Blood.

This was a lot of fun to play, and a very unique experience compared to prior titles that lead up to it. After all, this and Dawn of Sorrow are the only games that take place in what would be considered the Modern Era. Whereas all the other games take place in ancient times. I had a wonderful time playing!

Traversing Portraits

For me, Portrait of Ruin somehow became the most neglected of the three Castlevania games in the Dominus Collection. I decided to give it some attention today; managed to beat one boss during lunch, and one more before calling it a night. I might torture myself tomorrow with Circle of the Moon… maybe I can make each day this week a Castlevania type of one, that seems to be the vibe I’m feeling.

More Soul Searching (In Aria of Sorrow)

I’m getting closer to obtaining all the souls in Aria of Sorrow! I started grinding away at it during lunch on my Steam Deck, then did more grinding tonight.

Next time I play I’ll be ready to venture into the chaotic realm to continue my adventure. Until that moment comes though, it’s time for me to get some rest under a starry, less pixelated sky.

One With The Shadows

The last couple of days have been filled with different types of green tea, some tidying, and lots of cinematic game play in one form or another.I’m ending the night as a ninja hiding in shadow. I’ve gone back to play some of the older levels in Aragami 2 to look for missing collectables, and up my kill count.

Back From The Soreness

It’s been a few days since I’ve been able to post, but I finally made it to the weekend. A few days of pain, and only my one sleepless night per week, but I made it. I decided to spend some time on the couch tonight playing Gori: Cuddly Carnage. I was a little rusty, but managed to remember the controls after doing a bit of backtracking. I’m just taking a break before I lay waste to the next boss battle.

I’m Sore… Open Thread

Not really feeling it tonight. I got off work and have been fighting pain on and off all evening. There were some things I wanted to get started on tonight, but I can’t if I’m unable to keep focus… Maybe if I’m feeling better tomorrow I’ll have something of more substance.
