Wow this makes me regret never beating Order of Ecclesia! It's the one Metroidvania I never finished! It's never too late to try. Ecclesia is awesome game, bringing necessary fresh air to the series. No Belmont, new story & characters, different skills & good MP system. You never have to use super boring basic attack spam. All attacks have sorta cooldown, so gameplay flow will never let you be out of special skills & your character can fight stylishly. Shanoa wasn't that good of character sadly, but Albus is more than makes up for it, being one of the best characters in CV, true protagonist of Ecclesia. All is happening to how Albus planned it, even despite Barlowe's attempts. I think Albus is proper example of a "Hero", being on the path of the darkness, doing questionable things, he still retains enough bright characteristics. Also very important fact the Albus is smart, which is a rare thing for player characters these days. We have many low intellect cliche heroes, who are constantly tricked & laughed upon. Samanosuke from Onimusha, Zack from FF7, Bastion from Vanguard Bandits, Solid Snake was complete idiot in first MGS on psx (tho MGS2 changed him in a better way), Noctis from FFXV, Naruto, Estelle from Trails in The Sky, Sora from Kingdom Hearts & many more.

I should try to finish the game sometime, I made it all the way to Dracula's castle and stopped playing. Order of Ecclesia was by far the hardest Castlevania I played! Even more so than Circle of the Moon. Order of Ecclesia is the most challenging in my opinion.

I should try to finish the game sometime, I made it all the way to Dracula's castle and stopped playing. Order of Ecclesia was by far the hardest Castlevania I played! Even more so than Circle of the Moon. Order of Ecclesia is the most challenging in my opinion. I wouldn't say Ecclesia is a hard game unless you use 1lv hard mode. But since you have mentioned Circle of the moon, I would like to point out that first of all Ecclesia offers player useful evasion skills, be it basic dash or a shield spell. In Circle minor enemies can dodge, but most important unit in the game - playable character for some reason cannot, which is super DUMB, but oh well lol 🤣 Use defensive skills Ecclesia offers & you'll be fine. Albus have I-frames right during his dash, let alone his free teleport. For Shanoa you can buy potions without any problem, something Circle of the moon also lacks, there you have to loot enemies for potions which is extremely boring & annoying to do. Since you're already reached Dracula castle, it's end game. Only thing left is finish off last bosses - Blackmore, Eligor, Death & Count himself. Albus by this point will be extremely powerful, if you have levelled him properly. For Shanoa you can cheap out bosses by a ring + Dominus power up spell, they will die in seconds. So finishing the game should not be any hassle at this point

Hi, can you share again the save file link please? The first 3 links are broken and the lastest 2 only contain the game with the patch applied only.

Thanks, since i'm playing in Drastic on Android, i had to load it first in Desmume to convert it into .dsv. I liked your roomhack a lot. I found a bug, i don't know if is intended but the owls can attack the bosses during their intros.

I found a bug, i don't know if is intended but the owls can attack the bosses during their intros. Thanks! I don't play games on a phone, so I never used Drastic emulator. As for Owls it's working as intended. If enemies can have dirty moves, so should player. It's making game fair if anything. Making enemies cheat & do things player can't (for example when enemies have invincibility frames during evasive, while player can't have it) is really bad idea. If bosses can cheat, player should be able as well. Poor Albus & Maxim got it really bad, both lacking NPC only skills & anti staggering as well.

I'm not playing on phone so no idea what emulators there are, but it is possible to convert saves between emulators. Just google info depending on emulator you are using.
