No, she killed the big bad demon lord as a teenager and generally made things a whole lot worse. Stolen the village’s Shield Blade (which sounds like an oxymoron), or fled an arranged marriage and cursed the traditions? Not some fated, “You will be the destined hero” schtick that most games shoehorn in, but something Mirenia has done in the past that needs sorting. Our Belmont surrogate in this adventure is Mirenia, an eighteen year old on a quest for redemption. So with these shortcomings in mind, does The Skylia Prophecy do anything right to balance these issues and make it an enjoyable game? It is foretold that you will read ahead and find out… Could Have Seen That Coming… There’s challenge, which is fine, and then there’s unnecessarily cheap enemies and obnoxious checkpoints. Yet ported to consoles, and then aped by future games such as this, makes no sense. Players dying meant more coins into machines, ergo profit. You see, it made sense for it to be difficult when it was a coin-operated arcade series. Ghosts ‘n Goblins deserves a share of the blame too. Whilst this influence is notable in The Skylia Prophecy, it’s not alone. Even without the backtracking, it’s an oft-aped game that draws instead recognition for what it brought to platforming. We’re all familiar by now about the effect Castlevania has had on gaming. But somehow, that tribute turned into an insult.
An attempt was made, at some point, to pay tribute to classic games.
