Chill out, what ya yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be, you will see that I am the funniest RUclipsr of all time. Admit it, my dear follower austin
Oh austin. Ill always argue that your the best half-assed gaming youtuber. I'll never forget the time you pretended to live in your basement for two months as a pointless gimmick... NEVER.
You forgot to talk about Deep Fear’s real villain: Clancy. He made “one little mistake” by accidentally firing on and destroying a passenger ship during a war, and he thinks he’s the victim.
That was the last survival horror game I played and was hoping this video would mention it. Even if it’s obviously a low budget clone, I had fun playing it and got creeped out a few times. I also enjoyed the bonkers storyline.
Isn't RE as well, a clone of Alone in the dark? - An abandoned mansion - 2 characters with their own storyline ( a girl and a man) - You collect items, fight monsters, explore scenarios and resolve puzzles. - You solve the mistery regarding the mansion.
Covert Ops: Nuclear Down! It's not an horror, but it has all the characteristics of the genre: tank controls, puzzles, enemies that appear feom nowhere (mostly toilets) and 3000 loading screens!
There's a pretty good game developed by Ubisoft called Cold Fear. This game takes place in a huge boat, and you have to fight against some kind of zombies.
Next episode needs to have Evil Dead: Hail to the King. It's an RE clone with Bruce Campbell reprising his role as Ash Williams, complete with boomstick and chainsaw! What's not to love!
Man! I'm so happy that you brought up Deep Fear here, since it was the last Saturn-game to be released in Europe. However, it sort of got a spiritual successor called "Extermination".
Fun fact with Martian Gothic! It was planned to be a novel series but the writer was approached to make it into a game instead. This is why world-building takes such a large role, but in the end, the story is quite crazy good for a Sci-Fi. It even is the basis of inspiration for some elements in Dead Space as we know it. A Marker praised by a cult of people who don't understand the alien power, turning them into undead beings. :) Also sadly, they were rushed by like 6 months to get the game completed and shipped out. Resulting in a frustratingly difficult game and even some enemy mechanics missing. I think it had good potential but came out a little too late and sadly rushed as it was made by a very small team.
Feels like a fever dream being reminded of Galerians Rion, I remember watching that movie on MTV once, and it just had a bunch of rock songs by bands like Korn I think. Never would have guessed MIB would end up as a RE clone but thank you for this information lol
The first Resident Evil style clone game I remember playing was Hard Edge on the ps1. It was slightly different with a more anime style. You were one of two Future Swat team members trying to free a skyscraper from terrorists. I don’t remember too much after that.
"How come they get all the fun?" Austin, I'd like to remind you that Europe has NEVER seen an official release of neither Chrono Cross nor Xenogears in any way, shape or form.
I had MiB as a kid, and it even managed to scare the shit out of me at certain points. Cryptic as hell, but managed to beat it without any guide or help. The patience of a kid I guess.
As a kid I managed to get through Kingdom Hearts 1 without a walkthrough, and struggled through Deep Jungle and Atlantica when I played the 1.5 version this year, so I guess kids have all the patience and willpower in the world lol.
One of the interesting mechanics in Martian Gothic: Unification Point is that the characters have to stay separated or else they'll be assimilated into a monstrosity called a "Tri-Morph". This idea that the characters could be assimilated by being together is truly horrifying. I also believe that Deep Fear is a criminally underrated survival-horror game, and that I wish it was remade or remastered. You not only can move and shoot in that game, but the story is really good. There's a bulldog named Rambo in Deep Fear, and that's SUPER ADORABLE!!!😀😁😍
"Chase the express" is a resident evil like game where you go trough a train full of terrorists Gameplay wise it's the same but the setting is different
Also called Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn here in the States. I enjoyed playing that game as a kid! Really good atmosphere for a game that takes place on a train!
Chaos Break is the absolute bomb! I looked for that game so much in 2015 and I found it on German Ebay. I bought it, played it and I can say it is defintely worth checking out. When it comes to PS1 jRPGs, PAL got shafted hard. But surprisingly we got some extra horror survival games like Chaos Break and Hellnight (which you should check out if you have the time) Love the vid as always!
Aw.. I thought I will see Cold Fear in this list Not gonna lie, that game was quite scary. Not to mention the ability to switch into over the shoulder perspective does not help that and making it scarier instead.
Galerians and Deep Fear could make some pretty cool games, just from the concept and story, if done right. I especially would love a game where you are a lab subject that has head popping powers and turn out to be the bad guy, or a survival horror in reverse in general, where you 'are the zombies'
A pretty underrated RE clone on the PS1 was TRAG - Tactical Rescue Assault Group. It's not really survival horror because you can beat the crap out of enemies beat em up style, but there's the puzzles, passwords and maze like building to explore much like RE.
If you ever make a second video, there's 2 that's definitely worth checking out for fun times. One is Carrier for Dreamcast and the other is Mystic Nights for PS2 that was a Korean exclusive but it has a full English translation.
Alone in the Dark did all of this first. Resident Evil is an AitD clone, and Survival Horror existed in Japan since Sweet Home on the Famicom (which also inspired Resident Evil itself).
I can't believe you didn't mention the drug use aspect of the original PS release of Galerians which was toned WAY DOWN in Galerians: Ash. Having to use drugs to fuel your individual powers as well as the drugs you use to keep them from overloading your brain AS WELL as the drugs you took for health was crazy given the frequency in which you used them. And since there were animations for many of them, you spent a good deal of time watching cinematics of Rion popping pills and injecting questionable substances straight into his carotid. I loved it.
Probably my favourite "RE Clone" was In Cold Blood by the devs of Beneath a Steel Sky & Broken Sword. It was basically James Bond done in the style of Resident Evil, but it was less of a survival horror & more of a point & click adventure game. However, there were a few levels with some rather horrific & tense moments that caught me off guard & definitely could've felt at home in a true survival horror game like Resident Evil. BTW, it's on GOG for less than 10 bucks!
Many of these elements also can be found in the first Fatal Frame game (i never got to play the other ones) and i feel like silent hill started out like a RE clone, but that could just be me remembering the games in the same genre which didnt have a large selection of games at the time.
Nope, you're absolutely correct, Silent Hill did indeed start life as Konami's answer to Resident Evil. However, over time Konami lost faith in the project, so the development team just said "fuck it" and decided to take the game in a very different direction than what Konami had originally wanted. Kinda like how Demon's Souls started life as a failed Elder Scrolls clone before Hidetaka Miyazaki swooped in and re-tooled the entire game into its final form.
@@devastomondiale2241 the gameplay mimicks that of alone in the dark. Not sweet home. Sweet home was what resident evil was gonna be based off of. The game play was inspired by alone in the dark
Oh man I completely forgot about Curse the Eye of Isis! My mom got it for me when it came out as a surprise gift, because she was convinced it was like Broken Sword... which it wasn't, like at all 😂 But fortunately I still liked it, so thanks mom
There's a "devilman" resident evil like videogame that is a bit interesting, I thought it would be cool if you gave it a look later, If you haven't already
Always makes me feel weird, when someone who doesn't like tank controls reviews many tank control games. There's nothing wrong with them if you just play the games enough to get used to them
Yeah I don't get tank control haters. It's like they don't know what they're talking about, mofos don't even realize RE4 has tank controls. And they say they're outdated. Like it literally prevents you from losing the sense of direction, no other control scheme does that, how is it outdated?
@@steelbear2063 The complaint about Tank Controls is usually from the time-loss that happens as you rotate(ppl are usually impatient,w/ character-movement-response). Also,ppl who don't use the dodge-function effectively or have trouble w/ the controls,in general. Another thing is,if there isn't even a dodge function in the 1st place,you usually take damage for what seems an unfair reason... Those seem like valid complaints,if you aren't used to "Tank Controls" & you compare that,to how the majority of games don't use them... There is a valid argument,that dodging is usually much easier w/o tank controls.As,all you have to do is press the controls(or w/e is equivalent)to /immediately/ move the character. Versus,waiting for them to rotate,so that you can cause /any/ movement. Again,unless there is a "dodge" function,of some sort... It really depends,on which kind of controls you grow-up playing games w/. Or,if you can easily adjust to using different control styles & be as proficient w/ whatever you have to use(gamers don't usually have a choice,that is)... BTW,for the record,I like tank controls in games that are RE-style or use pre-rendered BGs(usually one-&-the-same). Tho,it can be hard for me to switch back-&-forth between styles & not need an "adjustment period",in certain games... -Peace
Hey, I just want to say I've been binging your channel for the past weeks while I work. The good thing about your videos is that it does not contain your usual expected games on the list, some of it I've heard for the first time. So good job, and hope you have more views.
@@arkdetective Yep, truly the granddad of survival horror. Of course westerners wouldn't get a taste of that or even know of it's existence for a long time afterwards.
Yes but did you know alone in the dark is the first 3d survival horror game? And the first iteration of modern horror game which also went on to inspire resident evil greatly, i bet you didn't know about that.
I totally thought Carrier on Dreamcast was what Deep Fear was supposed to be. I remember reading a Gamepro magazine and seeing the Deep Fear preview (I'm dating myself here) but never saw it come to states, though now I know why. When Carrier came out, I figured they just scrapped Deep Fear and made that instead. Now I know, haha. Thanks for sharing this!
Agreed! Playing through PE1 at the moment for the first time and it's great (on the small Vita screen). Never did finish PE2 so that's next on the list. PE3....ugh, might play it for completion's sake haha.
I remember reading about Cold Fear in a PSN magazine in middle school. Was so excited for it and when i bought it I absolutely loved it. It was probably shit idr much about it though.
I have that game I picked it up from a bargain bin a million years ago and still haven't gotten to it. If it's at least competent I'll probably enjoy it.
My first survival horror was something called Alone in the Dark on the 3DO. Looking at it now and how the franchise endee up, I'm glad RE learned from their mistakes.
I think he meant Survival Horror games that rip off Resident Evil Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu does utilize a "Resident Evil" style format of running around in a set environment where the player must traverse the landscape, while picking up necessary items to open locked doors and progress through the stage but that's where the similarities end I looked it up
A weird RE Clone (kinda) I remember is Batman Dark Tomorrow for Gamecube and Xbox. It has the fixed camera angles the funky controls, and some rather not great voice acting.
Oh wow, that’s pretty much the most critically panned Batman game out there, at least from what I remember. It’s not Superman 64 levels of bad, but just...well, bad.
@@amirgarcia547 it's pretty not great, that and the Batman Beyond Return Of The Joker game for PS1 and & N64 from ubisoft are generally considered the worst
I hope you talke about Extermination in the future. It was reasonably good, even if it can’t compete with the greats. Also it had two different voice casts and sets of character models for the European and North American releases
Just want 2 add 2 what you said about Extermination... Namely,that it was also a launch title & it didn't take long for other games to over-shadow it... What I mean is,I started working in retail,about the time it came out. And,I always noticed LOTS of unsold copies in the game-case at our store. Then,years later,any of the other stores within the company I worked at,they would also have large quantities of the game,still unsold... Which,lead to it being easy to get a copy,for those waiting for it to be reduced. Or,put on clearance... I ended-up buying it about half-off from full-price,not on clearance. Because,I waited until sometime in 2004 & the store I was at,at the time,only had a few copies left. So,rather than risk waiting so long that the final copy sells,I bought it at about half-off. However,not long after,the store finally reduced all of their oldest PS2 games to almost single-digit pricing(Extermination ended-up going down to just $15,shortly after I bought my copy)... Anyway,I don't think the game was well-received by others,but I agree w/ you. As,I enjoyed it for awhile. Though,there was some part early in the game that either confused me or was too difficult for me. As,I bought the strategy-guide & the game,at the same time. But,even with the strategy-guide,I got stuck somewhere. And,when that happens,I move on to another game. In this case,there wasn't much choice,though... Another thing worth mentioning,is that the developers thought they had a "sure-fire hit". Since,there were Game Mags talking of it being like "Resident Evil-meets-The Thing",in their Previews of the game-footage... That is,I specifically can remember how all the game mag previews kept talking about how great the CG-sequences looked. Also,this being one of the 1st PS2 games EVER,meant that /anything/ was bound to be considered "must-play" & be well-received... However,I recall the /Reviews/ were quite poor(supposedly,the game was more promising-looking in the early-stages everyone was judging it by). Specifically,there was great disappointment that the game didn't change much from the early version to the final-release... EGM,in particular,disliked how scripted the game felt & that it was too linear &/or simple,overall. Mostly,the reviewer complained about how he felt the game should have stayed in development longer. Or,that the developers should have done more with their time,before release,to match what was "promised",or whatever... Also worth mentioning,is that some EGM reviewers were known for being "picky" & overly-expectant of games. Which,is what lead to them having multiple reviewers,later-on. And replacing reviewers,over the years... However,at this time,they were still using the single-reviewer format... To explain how I remember this so well; I used to read LOTS of game mags & I would re-visit them,while looking for info. on various games from yesteryear,that I bought from GameStop. This may sound strange,to the modern gamer. But,since I'm from the pre-internet-age,I enjoy the nostalgia of going thru my old game mags... Anyways,sorry for the length,but hopefully this will be worth reading someday,by those interested in hearing more about "Extermination". I apologize in advance for not putting it in a more "interesting" order. But,I felt it necessary to keep the original flow. Rather,than attempt at editing for conciseness. Also,I'm excessively-thorough/eccentric & despise the lack-of-openness so prevalent w/ comments,at times. Which,has lead to me needing to clarify,rather unnecessarily,I feel. So,hopefully this will prevent that from being requested(I guess)... Sooooo,yeah... ;) -Peace & Hopefully this will be of use 2 /someone/ out-there :)
ESPECIALLY when he brought up deep fear, i didn't expect him to relate it to blue stinger (though I have a special place in my heart for that game haha)
I met the guy who wrote Martian Gothic at a developer's conference called AdventureX a few years ago. I told him that I'd enjoyed playing it as a kid, but he really, *really* didn't want to talk about the game.
Well, when you’re making a video calling a bunch of games a clone of a popular game, you can’t really acknowledge that the popular game is itself a clone of another game, because that would punch a pretty sizable hole in your whole argument.
DEFINITELY check out The X-Files: Resist or Serve. I had a hard time grasping at first that there was a survival horror X-Files game, with 2 branching paths nonetheless, but it's also surprisingly decent. It's also hard as balls, but it has the series' spirit, with (fine, totally zoned out) voiceacting by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson themselves.
Still play Vampire Hunter D in hopes of liking it.... which always ends in "combats broken I just cant". I love the series so much and it nails the look and feel along with some fun puzzles but the combat controls are SO BAD. maybe one day I'll get it. SOTN is still a superior VHD game- the plot in ways feels like something Kikuchi would write, the atmospheres there and Alucard is basically D.

Tomb Raider was all about platforming with tank controls. But it was a 3D world rather than static, pre-rendered environments.

Hey, woah, I loved Blue Stinger. The fact that T-shirts changed your melee style was hilarious.

Those seem like valid complaints,if you aren't used to "Tank Controls" & you compare that,to how the majority of games don't use them...
There is a valid argument,that dodging is usually much easier w/o tank controls.As,all you have to do is press the controls(or w/e is equivalent)to /immediately/ move the character. Versus,waiting for them to rotate,so that you can cause /any/ movement. Again,unless there is a "dodge" function,of some sort...
It really depends,on which kind of controls you grow-up playing games w/. Or,if you can easily adjust to using different control styles & be as proficient w/ whatever you have to use(gamers don't usually have a choice,that is)...
BTW,for the record,I like tank controls in games that are RE-style or use pre-rendered BGs(usually one-&-the-same). Tho,it can be hard for me to switch back-&-forth between styles & not need an "adjustment period",in certain games...
-Peace
But Resident Evil is Alone in the dark clone ;)
btw Bring back Dumpster Fires!
btw2 the Crow is also something...
Hey buddy, this was my introduction to your channel. And I gotta say I'm hooked. I'm a HUGE resi Guy and loved this video. Thanks and subbed!😊
Deep Fear cutscene looked like Pheonix Wright was begging for death from an umbrella soldier lol
Hey, I just want to say I've been binging your channel for the past weeks while I work. The good thing about your videos is that it does not contain your usual expected games on the list, some of it I've heard for the first time. So good job, and hope you have more views.
insert comment about how alone in the dark was first something something
Alone in the dark the new nightmare was actually a really good game and RE clone.
And don't forget sweet home, the OG of capcom horror.
@@arkdetective
Yep, truly the granddad of survival horror. Of course westerners wouldn't get a taste of that or even know of it's existence for a long time afterwards.
Yes but did you know alone in the dark is the first 3d survival horror game? And the first iteration of modern horror game which also went on to inspire resident evil greatly, i bet you didn't know about that.
@@trickycheat3570 yep and also before alone in the dark inspired them, resident evil 1 was a first person perspective game.
I totally thought Carrier on Dreamcast was what Deep Fear was supposed to be. I remember reading a Gamepro magazine and seeing the Deep Fear preview (I'm dating myself here) but never saw it come to states, though now I know why. When Carrier came out, I figured they just scrapped Deep Fear and made that instead. Now I know, haha. Thanks for sharing this!
i appreciated the beaumont joke, austin.
My heart hurt when you played that PSO Personal Mail sound effect around 7:15
I love seeing a new Austin video pop up right when I get off work thanks for making my day
Resident evil one was inspire from alone in the dark ps1 as Shinji Said
"We've yapped on about Parasite Eve"
That was a great game tho. The first 2 PE games are amazing, the third one sucks.
Agreed! Playing through PE1 at the moment for the first time and it's great (on the small Vita screen). Never did finish PE2 so that's next on the list. PE3....ugh, might play it for completion's sake haha.
I got whiplash from that Beaumont joke. Good vid as well.
I really love your channel man, keep up the amazing work
I remember reading about Cold Fear in a PSN magazine in middle school. Was so excited for it and when i bought it I absolutely loved it. It was probably shit idr much about it though.
I have that game I picked it up from a bargain bin a million years ago and still haven't gotten to it. If it's at least competent I'll probably enjoy it.
@@JohnDoe-yf9wk its competent i have also from a bargain bin, and it was a surprise ill tell you that. Get to it.
They’re reallyAlone in the Dark clones as it came first. That said, fantastic video as always
No pac-man was.
Deep Fear looks interesting, never heard of it , dame shame no remaster
My first survival horror was something called Alone in the Dark on the 3DO. Looking at it now and how the franchise endee up, I'm glad RE learned from their mistakes.
I feel like Deep Fear could work today. It needs a remake.
The guy from martian gothic sounds like he's dubbed by burzum
🤣🤣🤣 100%
Great video as ever. Galerians is even more brazen than people realise when you look at how closely some of its maps mirror the original mansion.
You can tell it's Will by number of polygons that went into his ears.
You talk about Resident Evil knock off but forgot to talk about Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu for PS2
I think he meant Survival Horror games that rip off Resident Evil
Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu does utilize a "Resident Evil" style format of running around in a set environment where the player must traverse the landscape, while picking up necessary items to open locked doors and progress through the stage but that's where the similarities end
I looked it up
12:57 Resident Evil meets a child's version of Metal Gear Solid. 😏
Eternal Darkness is true clone of the classic RE.
More of alone in the dark clone
A weird RE Clone (kinda) I remember is Batman Dark Tomorrow for Gamecube and Xbox. It has the fixed camera angles the funky controls, and some rather not great voice acting.
Oh wow, that’s pretty much the most critically panned Batman game out there, at least from what I remember. It’s not Superman 64 levels of bad, but just...well, bad.
@@amirgarcia547 it's pretty not great, that and the Batman Beyond Return Of The Joker game for PS1 and & N64 from ubisoft are generally considered the worst
I hope you talke about Extermination in the future. It was reasonably good, even if it can’t compete with the greats. Also it had two different voice casts and sets of character models for the European and North American releases
Just want 2 add 2 what you said about Extermination...
Namely,that it was also a launch title & it didn't take long for other games to over-shadow it...
What I mean is,I started working in retail,about the time it came out. And,I always noticed LOTS of unsold copies in the game-case at our store. Then,years later,any of the other stores within the company I worked at,they would also have large quantities of the game,still unsold...
Which,lead to it being easy to get a copy,for those waiting for it to be reduced. Or,put on clearance...
I ended-up buying it about half-off from full-price,not on clearance. Because,I waited until sometime in 2004 & the store I was at,at the time,only had a few copies left. So,rather than risk waiting so long that the final copy sells,I bought it at about half-off. However,not long after,the store finally reduced all of their oldest PS2 games to almost single-digit pricing(Extermination ended-up going down to just $15,shortly after I bought my copy)...
Anyway,I don't think the game was well-received by others,but I agree w/ you. As,I enjoyed it for awhile. Though,there was some part early in the game that either confused me or was too difficult for me. As,I bought the strategy-guide & the game,at the same time. But,even with the strategy-guide,I got stuck somewhere. And,when that happens,I move on to another game. In this case,there wasn't much choice,though...
Another thing worth mentioning,is that the developers thought they had a "sure-fire hit". Since,there were Game Mags talking of it being like "Resident Evil-meets-The Thing",in their Previews of the game-footage...
That is,I specifically can remember how all the game mag previews kept talking about how great the CG-sequences looked. Also,this being one of the 1st PS2 games EVER,meant that /anything/ was bound to be considered "must-play" & be well-received...
However,I recall the /Reviews/ were quite poor(supposedly,the game was more promising-looking in the early-stages everyone was judging it by). Specifically,there was great disappointment that the game didn't change much from the early version to the final-release...
EGM,in particular,disliked how scripted the game felt & that it was too linear &/or simple,overall. Mostly,the reviewer complained about how he felt the game should have stayed in development longer. Or,that the developers should have done more with their time,before release,to match what was "promised",or whatever...
Also worth mentioning,is that some EGM reviewers were known for being "picky" & overly-expectant of games. Which,is what lead to them having multiple reviewers,later-on. And replacing reviewers,over the years...
However,at this time,they were still using the single-reviewer format...
To explain how I remember this so well; I used to read LOTS of game mags & I would re-visit them,while looking for info. on various games from yesteryear,that I bought from GameStop. This may sound strange,to the modern gamer. But,since I'm from the pre-internet-age,I enjoy the nostalgia of going thru my old game mags...
Anyways,sorry for the length,but hopefully this will be worth reading someday,by those interested in hearing more about "Extermination". I apologize in advance for not putting it in a more "interesting" order. But,I felt it necessary to keep the original flow. Rather,than attempt at editing for conciseness. Also,I'm excessively-thorough/eccentric & despise the lack-of-openness so prevalent w/ comments,at times. Which,has lead to me needing to clarify,rather unnecessarily,I feel. So,hopefully this will prevent that from being requested(I guess)...
Sooooo,yeah... ;)
-Peace & Hopefully this will be of use 2 /someone/ out-there :)
Actually deep fear does have a sequel, cold fear
Damn, that horror night at the museum game seems right up my alley.
I went into this video expecting Carrier for the Dreamcast to be mentioned. Am sad.
ESPECIALLY when he brought up deep fear, i didn't expect him to relate it to blue stinger (though I have a special place in my heart for that game haha)
This is like a recap of the late Super Best Friends channel's Shitstorm series. There's even a mention of "fart gas" lol.
I feel COLD FEAR should have been on this list.
Cold Fear is like Resident Evil 4 meets John Carpenter's The Thing.
@@ryogamestation Imo a very underrated game .
Scooby Doo Classic Creep Capers on N64 is another bad resident evil ripoff that literally uses the RE2 engine.
How did they get away with shamelessly ripping off Jill Valentine? lol
3:07 Which Bennet the Sage reviewed and is where I first heard of the Galerians games
I met the guy who wrote Martian Gothic at a developer's conference called AdventureX a few years ago. I told him that I'd enjoyed playing it as a kid, but he really, *really* didn't want to talk about the game.
Hey, thanks for putting this video together. It makes a great buyers guide for those of us that have played ever RE to death
God i remember renting that MIB game when it first came out. Never got past the artic.
galerians trailer actually traumatized me when i was a kid
"Resi" This shorthand drives me nuts! 😅
I know right? Everybody knows it's "Rese".
@@ronroidz2925 We call them "Ressa" here lmao.
Great video! I always love when you look at clones.
That is a protip, if they always have walkie talkies then you never have to worry about mouth movement. I must use this some how.
Not even a mention to Alone in the Dark, the granddaddy of them all?
Well, when you’re making a video calling a bunch of games a clone of a popular game, you can’t really acknowledge that the popular game is itself a clone of another game, because that would punch a pretty sizable hole in your whole argument.
That's true. I didn't think about it this way.
DEFINITELY check out The X-Files: Resist or Serve. I had a hard time grasping at first that there was a survival horror X-Files game, with 2 branching paths nonetheless, but it's also surprisingly decent. It's also hard as balls, but it has the series' spirit, with (fine, totally zoned out) voiceacting by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson themselves.
Still play Vampire Hunter D in hopes of liking it.... which always ends in "combats broken I just cant". I love the series so much and it nails the look and feel along with some fun puzzles but the combat controls are SO BAD. maybe one day I'll get it.
SOTN is still a superior VHD game- the plot in ways feels like something Kikuchi would write, the atmospheres there and Alucard is basically D.
All it needs is the top level of the castle being a futuristic looking dungeon. Would be a cool fan project.
As someone who spent 4.5 years getting my undergrad in Beaumont, TX...I approve of Austin's message
That Beaumont Texas joke was like a right hook
