Definitely some good ol' classic Castlevania-esque fun! Great bosses, challenging levels, lots of secrets and endings, smooth and polished graphics and gamefeel, and I just love the core gameplay revolving around quick-swapping between characters to utilize their unique powers when it best fits the situation. It starts off a bit easy which almost disillusioned me, but I'd say at around the 5th level, coincidentally once you've gotten your full crew, it takes off the kid gloves, ramping up the challenge in exciting ways all the way to the end! If I were to have any complaints, it's that the game can feel quite padded since to truly beat it, it requires you to play the game at least 3 times over, going through the same set of levels each time: sure, there are minor route differences through the levels, the bosses get upgraded, and some new special events are added each time, but still, it just felt repetitive at times, making me almost consider quitting after doing it twice. Oh, and there's the fact that Zangetsu gets nerfed, removing his fun Soul Eraser moveset to the boring Zanmatou moveset as you make your way through the game: I know it's got story significance or whatever, but it just makes him very bland compared to the rest of the crew. Still, in spite of that, it was a good time and ended beautifully!

It's difficult to recommend this game. It's a hard game for a casual play-trough and a tedious one if you want to 100% the game. The characters are fun, but they feel somewhat nerfed to the previous game. And I feel that the rewards were given up to last moment of the game felling meaningless compared to the last game. in my opinion if you want to play better experience play the first game, in the case you want a more grueling challenge. Play this one. 7/10

I originally played this game on PS4 and got all the achievements. I wanted to replay it, so I bought it again. This is like Curse of the Moon but longer & harder - while the original game was way too easy even on the hardest mode, this game has many difficult rooms. Sometimes, it even feels a little too much, but in general it skirts the BS line pretty well. I also appreciate how the final chapter works and how you accomplish extra endings. This is one of my favourite Inti games overall, but you definitely need to enjoy frustration to tolerate the later stages.

this game is great, but the 5th level made me rethink all of my lifes decisions including paying $14 for this game ive never had to resort to the embarrassment of choosing casual mode, but here we are. 10/10 would at least play this game 1/4 of the way through again

Not as good as the first one, and sometimes it's pretty frustrating, but it's still a fun game
