A extremely enjoyable metroidvania that got me into the genre, with wonderful combat and music and exploration, that left itself in my thoughts long after finishing it. 10/10 want the sequel

Nov. 2024

I love this game. This straight up feels & plays like a modern day Castlevania game. Even though the game has a brilliant artstyle and music, there are some problems which need to be addressed that doesn't make the game pixel perfect. - 1. The Bosses: You won't be having a fun & memorable time fighting these bosses as they suck @ss. The only engaging boss in the game is probably Zangetsu as he has some interesting and good movesets that you need to study, in order to defeat him. And for some reason, the big monsters are soo boring to fight as compared to human size bosses which is such a shame. Also, the BloodLess fight was the worst & unfair at times. -2. The Dlc Costume Integration: I think the developers missed a huge oppurtunity here to make character skins and armour sets different entities as now, after owning the Succubus skin dlc I cannot equip her skin without changing my armour which is quite annoying. -3. I wished there was a quick access item section in the game just like any Souls game which allowed me to use any item on the go. The repetitive nature of opening the inventory, search for the item, and use it gets quite exhausting when you're half through the game. Other than that, it's quite a fun & engaging game with a ginormous map with unique locations that will take you hours to complete. Also, if you're not a big story driven game guy, you're in for a treat as the story is linear and doesn't diverge into several plotlines. Would recommend.

One of the most aggravating starts to any game that I have ever played... but once you get a feel for it, it really starts to shine! Hard to put down after that. >> Good Stuff << - Great world to explore and you are well rewarded for doing so. - Tons of combat variety and builds to chose from. - 2.5D environment mostly works really well, and they do some extra cool things with it in a few spots. - Mostly good writing for the story and characters. >> Bad Stuff << - VERY old-school game design in almost every way. - The delay in your movement and attack input takes a while to get used to, and even far into the game, it can still be annoying. - Some character models seemed a lot lower quality then others, and most of their poses during conversations were really cheesy or awkward. - The quest givers that just repeat the exact same thing for every quest gets old quick and feels really lazy.

It's like castlevania classic with beautiful scenarios, music and the main character is lovely The gameplay is solid, the bosses are fun

Oct. 2024

It took a little while for the developers to get there, but they made it. This game is worthy of the prestige of Castlevania. It has beautiful art, fun gameplay, and a story that you can sink your teeth into. Add Shantae-esque transformations, and side characters that you actually care about, and this game is absolutely worth your money.
