Op: Darkness Day 3

So today I moved a lot further into my new obsession.

I finally meet two of the main villains of the game and both are designed pretty well. Ahh werewolves and vampires, never the two shall get along LOL.

One thing I called from day one was that mysterious Cordelia (aka your love interest) was a German or in this case, half-German. It was still however a nice reveal moment and I felt the characters are truly getting closer.

Jude still drives me insane with his super slow movement AND he doesn’t learn no magic spells or talents or anything. I guess that’s because he was not ‘touched’ (no pun intended) by ‘The Wolf Pack’.



Carmilla (interesting the three main girls name start with C. Cordelia, Cynthia and now Carmilla) is an awesome design, super sexy and evil and owned the Hell out of me multiple times before I finally got the jump on her. I hope she is a reoccurring character.

Speaking of, the difficulty went up considerable after Level 6 for sure. Level 6 was the demo level and I was destroyed a couple times before I finally got my strategy down. Ironically up to Level 6, I was doing awesome with rarely having to restart battles at all. Well this time, I got to Level 6 with my demo strat and I smashed it.

Then along came Level 7 and boy, I was not ready. I must have continued at least 8-9 times. However once again, once you figure out your game plan, it’s on.

I am really enjoying myself however the game is not without some big flaws which are beginning to stick out.

First is the very annoying inability to skip talk scenes. Especially after you have seen said talk scenes 8-9 times because you keep losing. Second is the inability to save mid battle. There is no save feature mid battle which is not cool at all (Shining Force had it right). I can’t understand why they don’t allow the above two. I really don’t look forward to the day when I’m in the middle of a long battle, close to beating the stage and I get called away on an urgent matter. It’s basically putting a lot of hours to waste.

Other then these flaws, I’m really enjoying myself and I hope it continues to challenge me and keep me coming back for more (which it has).

P.S. Hah there is a character called Leona! Too bad she doesn’t have blue hair like my favorite KOF character.
