Beat on Normal. My first impressions were very poor. The garbage knife you start with can't kill a dog fast enough, so you take contact damage.

Beat on Normal. My first impressions were very poor. The garbage knife you start with can't kill a dog fast enough, so you take contact damage. I learned to just jump over enemies and take the high road. Then I got the sword and that was a good weapon. The dynamite was one of the most useless weapons I have ever seen in a game; what good is a bomb that bounces off the target? The gun and stake were better and I found it necessary to use a ranged attack in one level where the enemies come in groups of 2, because the sword can only damage 1 enemy at a time. I had to slow to speed to 30 frames per second to get past traps; they were ridiculously close together. Bosses were extremely simple with an obvious pattern, but contact damage + no invincibility frames mean you will die from anything in seconds. I only died a couple of times thanks to save state scumming. The worst part of the game was probably the 3 brides circling around you for an entire level. I ended up just jumping through them, eating the damage, and running through the level ahead of them. I set health and lives to max. Feels like a cheap Castlevania ripoff.
