they sure can be more creative than following Castlevania's tradition with that.
To add more of my thoughts..
1) Dracula has certain charm and attraction, because of his legend..Visiting Dracula`s castle in Castlevania is what I loved. I know any castle can be fantastic, and any antagonist can be great, but without Dracula it loses its charm.
I still believe this game can be good. Maybe IGAcula is a new thing.
2) I really dont like 2.5D, it is a thing of taste. I prefer 2D by far. De gustibus non est disputandum
3) The other major thing I loved about Castlevania is Ayami Kojima`s art. The only other one I liked was Order of Ecclesia. The art in Bloodstained is not appealing to me and I don`t like it.
So this might be a good game, I am happy IGA is back, and also Michiru Yamane. I hope it turns out great. I am sure it will play similar to Igavanias. It just lacks that something for me. I will wait for updates and gameplay videos to judge more. For now, I am just happy IGA is back and KICKING
Stretch goals make me angry. What is a new boss suppose to mean? This makes me not want to support the game. For now the game is in its early development, it will come out in 2 years. It might have 5 or 10 or 15 bosses, no one knows yet. A new boss doesnt mean anything additional, it is really stupid and unfair to have it as stretch goal.
