It started off REALLY strong, with tough enemies and a healthy variety of skills to use! Though I'll admit that I only used 1-2 skills per character by the time the game ended. God, I LOVE the music! Yeah, of all the games I've played from this contest so far, this one might be my favorite. Other than that, I did find Reynard's name misspelled as 'Raynold' a few times in the item descriptions, and Werewolves aren't weak to silver knives? Wut (okay that last one was a nitpick more or less)? Even so, I enjoyed what I played! It even used the bat npc for everything when the first half had distinguishable monster graphics to clue you in as to what you were getting into, and all of those NPCs didn't have as much variety in movement patterns as the first. Enemy troops were recycled and at this point of the game (especially if you manage to clear the miniboss), your party is not longer truly threatened by anything, so battles actually became kind of pointless. I'm a bit of a sucker for vampire/thriller themes in general, too! My only real complaint is that the second half of the game (that takes place in the castle) was kind of dull compared to the first.

Overall, it's very well done and the battle mechanics were pretty solid for a relatively casual experience.
