The Discussion Thread - The 14th Annual Greatest Games Event

[drbunnig]

No new clues for 39, but reposting because I figure someone will get it...

39 - Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
- A launch title for the first system it released on, it was sometimes criticised for having dark visuals that made it difficult to play on original hardware (subsequent hardware revisions remedied this issue). This is supposedly the reason the next game had brighter graphics.
- There are four unlockable modes, each of which give your character a boost on one specific attribute at the expense of others - magic, strength, subweapons, and luck.
- In some regions, this game shared the same name as the very first game in this series (other regions added a subtitle). Funnily enough, that first game was later released on the same system, as one of a number of classic games that were reissued.
- The most recent re-release of this game was on multiple platforms, as part of a collection with three other games from the same series.
- Your character carries one of the series’ most iconic weapons as he aims to vanquish a familiar vampiric foe.

36 - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
- A crowdfunded title that had a spin off game put out a year before it itself had been released.

35
- Best have a pen and paper handy, as unlike the series that heavily influenced this game, any info you come across won’t be recorded anywhere.

34
- You’ll start this game in the same environment that the previous game ended in, although one of the playable characters is different.
