Well, here's hoping that it's balanced better than Castlevania: Soma & Friends.
-
HOD x Dragon's Crown in both graphics and art style.
It looks cool, but there's a certain sterility and coldness about it.
-
Build a new multiplayer castle crawler based on HoD from the ground up.
Still use tiny-ass ant people sprites with DS resolution.
(and hey, the blue fire girl kind of has Charlotte's design from that think I just posted)
-
that was nice
-
That game looks pretty cool, hopefully it doesn't control as sluggishly as HoD does.
-
I don't think I like this kind of game. :\
o_o Charlotte?!
-
Wow, what a rip-off.
I am happy for the people who actually enjoyed HoD though. This must be right up their alley.
-

Wow, what a rip-off.
Who knows? The rip-off might be better ;D

The game does cross the line between Castlevania inspired and chinese knockoff. Also that middle of 2017 release date bothers me a bit... Can they even show they have more than one stage finished?
The fact that there's already a "shopping" section in the main menu is worrisome.
Can we see the rest of the characters?
I can't even find anything out about its developers. They don't even seem to have a website.

"I ain't even mad!"

I greenlit this on steam, but mainly for the ample breasts of the protagonist than anything else. This one doesn't seem to be a particularly inspired spin on the "Metroidvania" formula, but a new one is always welcome XD

I greenlit it for the Castle Editor, which I always thought Harmony of Despair should have had.
Also because boobs.
The fact that the developer responded within 24 hours to my critique of the miniscule sprites is encouraging though, even if it was something of a canned response that I hear from a lot of developers, but that also includes developers like Square-Enix and Capcom, so that by itself doesn't entirely worry me.

To be fair, these guys probably have little more than a fraction of HoD's budget. Their art direction is really lackluster and slapped together as is. If it is any good I'd at least give it a try, but I won't pretend to have liked HoD now or ever.

It looks more like Angela than Charlotte tbh
-
Oh hey, the developers left a note when I asked about the avatar size.
Based on our technic, scale a charactor is not difficult since we have big source and we can scale it at any time with GPU. For the video it looks small because we recorded it in a small zooming, and it has bigger zoom you can set in-game. And the screenshots are captured by 1920x1080 screen size, it is scaled to fit the steam page with a small size, you can scale the last screenshot to 1920x1080 to see the actual graphics.
However, we will tweak the ratio of charactor to scene for more times to get the best feeling.
More picture will be posted for coming contents, keep following us and tell what you think. And we are glad to get help from you. Thanks for open the discussion.
As a side note, their English is actually pretty decent considering they probably don't speak it normally.

Still interested, The Castlevania itch is getting strong and Shantae didn't scratch it.
-
Yeah, Shantae. Remember all of those classic Castlevania-like moments where she morphs into an elephant and has wiggly hips in her crouching animation?

Yeah, but Pirate's Curse felt like Metroidvania was doing something new, but 1/2 genie hero is more Megaman than anything else :/
-
This sure looks good. I loved HOD.

raising ripoff flags is really silly considering a large part of the industry copy each other, even to a closer degree than mainstreamers admit.
also copying has led to greater things. you know Windows wouldn't even exist if its founder didn't steal/copy code from Xerox. and while Windows has its issues, it really improved a lot of lives and is still the standard OS that a lot still use.
Mortal Kombat is a Street Fighter ripoff. even though it does some things differently, it still basically carbon copies SFII's fighting game fundamentals of structure.
Street Fighter is a ripoff of multiple concepts and character designs, including Yie Ar Kung Fu, Fist of the North Star, Mike Tyson, and more.
Nintendo's western SMB2 is a direct ripoff of Doki Doki Panic, and fans to this day benefit from the reinventions and new designs that came out of it, aside from the obvious copy pasting.
Castlevania SOTN can be said to be a Super Metroid ripoff of its genre.
Overwatch is a Team Fortress ripoff.
Rosenkreuzstillette is a MM ripoff, and actually made better games and characters than the MM series.
I dunno about "Castlevania HD" successor though. Castlevania has 6 players online co op, a vast selection of playable characters, how much stages/chapters does that hunter game have? The character designs look cool.
Well it does deserve support, you don't see Konami caring about Castlevania. at least some developer is something cool for gothic hunter fans
-
Dem titties, tho! LOL
-
Well, it's been greenlit successfully, so I guess this is happening guys!
-
Dem titties, tho! LOL
Blue tits or Red tits???
Perhaps left hand red, right hand blue...
