Maybe the best Symphony of the Night clone since Symphony of the Night? None of the follow up Castlevanias were this perfect, no attempts to copy the style have come this close to capturing the magic of SOTN.

I watched a lot of Lodoss war 15 or so years ago, and remember very little, and that didn't affect my enjoyment of the slim plotline at all.

It just perfectly blends action, exploration, and puzzle solving, never focusing too much on any one of those things. It also has a neat color swapping mechanic that is used just the right amount.

There was a game made back in the 360 days that used a similar mechanic, set in some African mythology, but it overused the color swap and it ended up being a platformer mixed with Ikaruga and it was overwhelming.
