Swords & Bones

This is a cute indie amalgam of Castlevania and Ghosts and Gobins... just extremely easy. I would say it's kind of a gem because it definitely captures the feel of an SNES Capcom game, but the graphics are a little goofy at times and there's no real challenge. There is an overworld where you can select stages. Every stage has a goblet that you need to collect to unlock the true ending. There's a shop that sells spells, new abilities, keys and other times you need to finish your quest. It's altogether well done, though I never had to change tactics once because the game was so easy. I killed almost every boss on my first try, including the final boss. The achievements are all just toward getting the true ending and buying all the items, so there's nothing challenging about this game at all. The combat is fun and there are a couple tricky parts, but since I'm used to playing real Castlevanias and similar titles I expect the game to be unfair and this one is perhaps too fair. It's for that reason I can't say it's my favorite, but I did really have fun with it and think it's definitely worth playing if you like linear hack and slash platformers. There are no profile features enabled for some reason so even though the achievements work they don't show on Steam profile.
