I don't know I thought the use of Fairies as sub weapons was pretty cool and something not seen before.
I don't know I think Castlevana has had grotesque things before I mean what about Beelzebub in Symphony of night. I could understand why you may feel like that they were super ugly.
Man the innocent devil system in Curse of Darkness was pretty cool. Wish it would be implemented again in future castlevania games, too bad the rest of the game was so bland for me.
Yeah, it was cool!
Yes, Order of Ecclesia had some super giant head that was so ugly... At its time, it was the ugliest enemy.
On the other hand, I found Legion to be super scary, so I liked... it? him? I don't know what it is.
I enjoyed it on my 2nd playthrough because I wasn't expecting another LoD, so I focused on what the game tried to be. And innocent devils, the beautiful stages and the wonderful soundtrack helped, of course, along with all the extras.
These games would be relegated for a downloadable only title. No one wants to pay full price on these type of games anymore these times (of course, outside enthusiats/fans like us).
We can enjoy those games in HD via emulation, and, judging from other games I compared, most of the time it's better than the official port to HD.
