Phelios [Arcade/MD/Genesis]

[Perikles]

Since aru-san hasn't read the PM I've send him over three weeks ago and the thread wasn't updated in over a year I'll just take over for him. The old one be found here. And even though his layout of the score table looks neat I'm just going to utilize the old plain format that I always use since it's nice 'n easy to apply.

As a quick introduction, Phelios' difficulty settings behave somewhat differently than they do in a lot of other games. Difficulty of course affects the overall, well, difficulty of the game (enemy resilience and pugnacity), but it also has an influence on how long the game is. The arcade game's Easy setting will have you battle the first four stages, then you face the mage gauntlet that serves as the penultimate boss of the final stage in Hard, afterwards the game is over. Hard has seven full stages and a TLB if you will. The MD's Novice setting on the other hand just ends after stage 4, you won't get any ending whatsoever.

My paltry Mega Drive score.

CIT - 1,136,170 - ALL

How the hell do you get over 3 million? Just by endlessly milking the fire golem? Checkpoint milking the wizards before the final boss?

How the hell do you get over 3 million? Just by endlessly milking the fire golem? Checkpoint milking the wizards before the final boss?

The former is certainly the easiest way, although you can also destroy the projectiles from the final boss for a lot of points if you so desire.

Thanks. In that case I‘ll just move on to a different game.
