Richter Mode beated and 200/200 achievements on the XBLA version obtained! Time to finally put this game down and utilize that $1 Xbox Game Pass E3 deal I haven't used at all yet.

Richter Mode Statz:

Time: 1:57
Map: 73.1%
Gold (like it matters): $9,322

If I could tell you how much HP I got from life max ups, I would! But yeah, no way to do that as far as I can tell.

I was originally trying to fight as many bosses as I could and explore a bit of the map as Richter, but once I got to the Inverted Castle and realized I could just go straight to the final boss, I pretty much did that. Though I did fight a couple of Inverted Castle bosses, like Malphas and The Creature, along the way. And The Creature was probably the most fun fight with Richter, if you use only his whip!

But no Dracula fight was super underwhelming. Again, I was also trying to fight Shaft with the whip only until I was forced to use Hydro Storm for the invincibility frames. And then It was just jarring to kill Shaft so quickly, see the achievement pop up, and the 10 second ending. But oh well, can't complain too much about a bonus mode! It was still pretty neat. If they had just done the balancing I mentioned earlier -- upping Richter's defense and lowering his offense, especially on subweapon specials, so that boss fights actually felt like real fights -- and included the final Dracula battle, Richter Mode could have been pretty great. Wonder how good the Maria mode was?

Well, this has been a lot of fun. Thanks to the people who stuck around! May post some more detailed final thoughts about the game as a whole still -- a sort of mini-review -- when I get the time.
