Yeah, we gamers love raw horsepower, tech trends, nostalgia, soulful art, groundbreaking masterpieces, and all that. But looking at previous generations, they should remember one simple truth of the market:
Price tag is inversely related to number of units sold.
Pretty much what I was expecting. Seems like the developers had such a great canvas and great tools to work with, they tried to mix it all up but ended up with a little too little of each element.
The artstyle may not be the beloved anime castlevania, but I think it works, and people are right about the 3D slider. Try the free demo with the 3D on, and you can see some pretty good backgrounds.
It may not be great, but I doubt that it's a miserable little pile of 4.7/10 that the other site scored it at. Personally, I'll probably have at it after the price drops a bit.
