Maybe on a handheld gaming device 2 decades ago...
This title seems good enough to put a $ on it !
It's not like he will be the first to have done it, Helsing did beat him to the punch.
Then you have the main character un-doing what had to be done in the first place for their own personal glory - Not what a true hero would do anyway and I'm not aware of anyone getting "Glory" for being second either.
More or less (To me) a very poorly conceived story plot here, even if it's a parody of the original game.
Of course it might be fun to play but ATM game mechanics are yet to be proven one way or the other at this point so.....
It's a combo of that and other "If's" that says to me - Hard Pass.
this, feel like a chinese copy of Mario but for CVII SQ :laugh: (even the name make me feel that way )nah, the 8bit version was superior ;) (joke) but Castelvania II Simon's Quest was a masterpiece to me ;) (musically even more ahah)yep the OG version look better o_O
To bad they jumped the gun by presenting this way to early for a planned 2025 release imho.They need to leave room for a sequel. Isn't that basically what all the retro lookalikes do? And this got a proper limited 8-bit colour palette as well.
If you want to branch out farther even games that don't openly sell them selves as Castlevania/Metroidvania games sell themselves hard on their roots to it. DeadCells is amazing and is pretty open, even if not stated it in marketing, that they straight ripped CV to the point where they teamed up to get a CV DLC for the game.
