A somewhat decent Metroidvania, but easily the weakest of the Castlevania Metroidvanias I've played. Still, it's largely unoffensive, though it somehow starts to drag on in the third and final act. This is the first Castlevania Metroidvania where I didn't feel compelled whatsoever to get 100% map completion. Just like Lords of Shadow 1, the story is mid and presented pretty poorly; the big "twist" is very easily seen, but the game likes to pretend it's a big revelation in the final act. I will say, the variety of characters you play is actually kinda cool. You play as a different character in each act that has different magic and sub-weapons. They all share the same upgrades, which doesn't make sense whatsoever plot-wise, but is nice gameplay-wise. All-in-all, it's not bad and I can see why Nintendo trusted these very same devs to make Metroid Dread, one of my favorite Metroidvanias.

Konami's name precedes them.

It's a nice little castlevania game. You can beat it in 7 hours at 70% or so. The story follows one specific theme of family, legacy and sins of the father, or something like that. It's ok. A nice 6/10.
