AAAH damn, should have checked there. I saw the Castlevania Advance Collection was finally posted on Steam so I just grabbed it on the Steam Store with Actraiser and checked out. Oh well, no Starbucks for me this weekend lol.
I played the Filmore Act 1, this is fantastic. I can even cheese the boss the same way.
I really hope this means we get a Soul Blazer Renaissance

Is it wrong that I want to see an Actraiser review thread or OT with these posted? Love this stuff! Thanks for posting.
I just remember the game being not that hard but the final boss being impossibly difficult for me.
No doubt. Plus, the lower tech used in what we did get means they could also target Switch & mobile, whereas I imagine a Platinum Games remake would be restricted to PC & the higher powered consoles.
I just wish the Artstyle was a bit less disjointed. But man, I never thought we'd see this franchise again at all. Maybe this opens up the door for a proper new installment down the line. Doesn't need to be super high budget, just a bit mor cohesive looks and that mix of action and strategy gameplay.
I was admittedly pretty cold after the reveal due to the visuals (and despite being a big fan of ActRaiser), but the positive comments and reading on what they've improved made me very interested to try it again. And at the end of the day, I'm just glad it's like...alive. So i'll probably pick this up
It's good, and I played it switch portable and was able to cheese the first boss the exact same way I do it on the original!
Are you logged in to GMG? Usually any issues with price differences are the discounts only being for members.
Wish I'd held off till today to purchase instead of last night on steam, but I'll just look at it as being a few extra bucks supporting Quintet games.
Looking forward to more gameplay impressions. Definitely considering picking this one up sometime in the future.
Also, gotta say the angel definitely changed up a lot from the SNES version.

It's also a little less floaty, and you have a bit more control in Combat, while still feeling like the clunky piece of shit I loved actraiser for
I didn't get a chance to play the city sim parts, but the music alone was good enough for me when I reached it.
It's good
Here's a Switch impression from earlier in the thread
I've had no issues on PS4. Really it seems you'll only run into framerate issues playing handheld on Switch in the actions stages and when your towns are spanning most of the map.
I loved the original..and was hyped by the announcement..
..but there's something about the look and animation of the main character, in this version, that I really loathe.
That is the single thing that has made me pause purchasing at full price.

I was in complete disbelief when this was announced. This is one of those games I absolutely adored in my youth that I never thought EVER had a chance of getting a remake. Like it wasn't even on my radar. Anyway, I bought it immediately and played for hours last night, tasting that sweet sweet nostalgia. lol
I feel something was lost in translation though. The art direction for one was a big part of the first game and I'm not sure I'm super keen on the choices made with this remake. Hopefully it gels with me better as I play on. Still enjoying myself though, but part of that may be because the mere mention of this game has struck deep into my childhood joy trigger. lol

I just logged in and it's still showing $29.99. Not sure why the discrepancy. I just created an account.
It would be cool if Actraiser 2 gets remade but adds the sim aspects that were dropped.
I will *NEVER* understand what the devs thought with this. Removing the one thing that makes you game / series special.
Big Bang Galaxy Brain move.
There's an OT now!
