This is the game that 2-D Castlevania fans begged and pleaded Konami to make for almost 2 decades, only to fall on deaf ears. They continued to force 3-D sequels and reboots down our throats. They never captured the charm of Igarashi's tried and true formula. The handheld games were pretty good but fans, like myself, wanted something that could take advantage of the horsepower of a PC or console.
So here we are many years later with a game that is Castlevania in all but name. Finally! I get to play the game I have longed to play for so long. I have no complaints with about 2 hours of gameplay put in thus far. It's exactly like I envisioned a SOTN sequel being.
