I'm usually one of those all against these collabs whenever they come up, but this one honestly looks pretty cool. I love the sprite work, and i already like the base game a lot, so I'm going to purchase it and see. Only thing i can complain about, if I must do at all times, is I don't like the promotional artwork. The base game key visual is outstanding and really looks like mid 90s to early 2000 Castlevania, idk who the artist was but its really a great piece of art, and I would have loved to see actual Akumajo characters done in that style. This DLC visual instead looks like they commissioned to some amateurish twitter artist, I mean its totally not bad at all on its own terms but definitely a huge step down and misses the atmosphere of the original art completely, like going from Kojimas art to the Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait stuff.
A fun fact, i've been seeing coworkers playing pirate version of the game when it first came out and those had already included characters from various castlevania games lol.
