  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality, with players enjoying both the soundtrack and sound effects. Notably, one track from chapter 1 stage 3 has been identified as a slowed-down version of a MIDI found on vgmusic.com, which adds an interesting layer to the game's musical composition.

    • “The music overall is great and you get the soundtrack with the game.”
    • “Good music and sound effects.”
    • “One interesting thing I've noticed is that the music from Chapter 1, Stage 3: Broken Overpass comes from a MIDI I've heard on vgmusic.com.”
    • “Okay, it's slowed down and only the second half of the song plays in Citadale, but it's still the same song.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for its mechanical inconsistencies and frustrating dodging mechanics, particularly during the final boss, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the short runtime further diminishes the value, making it difficult to justify a low price point.

    • “It is essentially the game using its mechanics against you.”
    • “Trying to do that in E3 is much more painful, and you are forced to do it because of the awful dodging mechanics of the first part of the last boss.”
    • “With the gameplay issues, mechanical inconsistencies, and short runtime, there couldn’t even be an argument made for a low price point.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have been criticized for their lack of originality, with many elements directly lifted from older Castlevania titles, including sound effects and artwork. Additionally, technical issues such as hitbox inaccuracies and poor controls detract from the overall visual experience.

    • “The graphics are outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games, making it hard to immerse myself in the experience.”
    • “Character models look bland and lifeless, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
    • “The environments are poorly designed and lack detail, making the game feel empty and uninviting.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is considered serviceable, providing basic motivation for the action, though some players find certain elements, like the eyeballs, off-putting. Overall, it seems to acknowledge its own shortcomings in engaging players.

    • “The story is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters and their journeys.”
    • “The narrative is well-crafted, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.”
    • “The character development throughout the story is impressive, making you truly care about their fates.”
    • “I don't like the eyeballs, and if you read the story bits, the game acknowledges that they are the toughest part.”
    • “The story is serviceable; it provides the motivation for the action.”
