As the game progresses, newer demonic forms are obtained, which prove invaluable in solving various puzzles and combat. When in control of Scree, the player is invulnerable; Scree, being a gargoyle, cannot suffer damage, making him an effective scout. Scree is capable of climbing on stone walls, a necessary ability when traversing the realms. | ||

|Description= | |Description=The game is unplayable due to enormous slowdowns. Everything no pre rendered cannot be played full fps. It is around 12 fps or less. EE Cyclerate and VU cycle stealing ramps up the fps counter to maximum and helps a little, but it is still choppy and not suited for an enjoyable gameplay. | ||
|Workaround= | |Workaround=Software mode is the only usable mode here, but the game is unplayable even with a strong cpu. No emulation glitches though. | ||
