Castlevania: Holy Fires - Version 2.0.0: Casual Mode

Changes:

  • We've received some requests for an easier difficulty mode for Castlevania: Holy Fires. So, in this update we added a brand new game mode: Casual Mode!

    • In this game mode, the Night is a little bit nicer towards Christopher. In Casual Mode, if you lose all your lives and get a Game Over, you are no longer thrown back to the title screen. Instead you can continue from the start of the level you were on when you died. No more do-overs!

    • Secondly, when you get hit by an enemy in Casual Mode, they will no longer take your upgraded whip from you! This will now only happen when you die. Get some more uses out of that fully upgraded whip!

    • Note: GameJolt Trophies are still bound to Normal Mode, so no trophies are unlocked in Casual Mode.

  • Secondly, we removed some of the Ukobacks from Level 4. They were making things a little too difficult at that part of the game.

Here's a quick look at the enemies you'll encounter in the first dungeon of Mancers; the Gobster Hideout. This place will be filled with magically enhanced Goblin Mobsters such as this one!

Two Holy Fires posts in one week? You bet!

A few weeks ago we showed a first look at the boss' arena for level 3. Here it is in it's finished form!

Also, check out that grey demon in the sky. It's Gobanz (or Death Bat), the original boss of level 3!

HF Update! This week, we added some sub-weapons for Christopher! The Axe is great for hitting flying enemies or those who are higher up. The Holy Water can be thrown on the floor to create a flame ahead of you. Great for setting up traps!

@MewMarissa is a Jolter to Watch and and a game developer who takes pride in attention to detail and producing quality work! Follow @MewMarissa before the quest ends on April 8 and you'll get Coins!

Kindle got his first subweapon! The Fireblasts may not have the same range as his throwing-scythes do, but they pack a way bigger punch!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

We added enemies from later Castlevania games to Holy Fires. Check out Ukoback and Skeleton Gunman from Symfony of the Night (among others). To make them fit in Holy Fires, we gave them a bit of a visual overhaul. (also check out our new page-banner)

New monster reveal! She-worms (or just Worms) are excellent climbers. They use this ability to slither their way up the Clocktower. Watch out when you hit them though, they switch to their attack form if you do...

Slime Heroes is an action souls-lite by @WhitethornGames where you save the realm from corruption!

Quests inspired by the game have entered your quest log.
