"Vampire Killer" triggered to me when I entered stage 8, died, used the "save & quit" option and went to stage 1

it's funny that this is the only PC Engine CD game that will work with cheevs for me and I'm using the translated version of the game.

Fuck you shaft

This set seems utterly broken on Beetle SuperGrafx core, some cheevos trigger too early, some not at all.

cheevos for having 20 hearts seem a little arbitrarypose cheevos are great tho

Note!!! Don't use Beetle PCE core. You need Beetle PCE Fast or Beetle SuperGrafx otherwise some achievements will not pop.

Very nice set

The huge ammount of no damage/no death bosses/stages just discourages pretty much anyone willing to put time in this set, I've beaten this game, but some achievs are just not worth doing on hardcore

The cheats not working

I think that this set needs a revision: swap the points between those for finishing the stages deathless and the ones for besting the bosses with full health and 20+ hearts. I assume the second ones are easier to unlock because there are overpowered special skills and you can farm hearts easily before arriving at the bosses, as opposed to use only your whip to not only clear the stage but to also kill the bosses, which is harder. You can check this by looking at the rate of completion from each type of achievements. Also, the music achievement makes no sense to me (it has a 2x point reward compared to others achievements that actually make you play the game), and having some achievements worth 25 points where you have to farm points or 1UPs are wrongly scored for a castlevania game, since emus have turbo options and vania games are likely to have infinite mobs respawns allowing you to farm those points in a matter of minutes.

Thinking again and regarding the rate of completion: since whip only achievements were added later to the set, for sure that the percentages are not accurate at all. Still, not sure if all the stages are easier to clear without the use of hearts. I still mantain that the other achievements should be consider for a rescore considering the exploits available (you can even afk farm points for the leaderboard as some user said in other section). Other achievement to consider is the bone boss at stage 2': you only get one chance for both achievements, since you can't get 20+ hearts in the previous room before the boss (you can in any other boss), if you fail then you have to restart the stage completely.

Leaving these comments in the case that a dev/admin happens to read my opinion, since the docs regarding revisions are outdated and the discord channel has been deleted.
