What's with Castlevania looking like China's 'Forbiddon city'? It's lost it's Classic European castle style.
It was a Chinese developer. So I'm not really surprised. Also, this one in particular had pretty terrible controls from what I remember.
The other series mentioned in this thread, while very nice aesthetically, and quite fun to play, don't really have anything in common with Castlevania. They're obviously influenced by it, but they're very action hack-and-slash almost bullet hell style games, in comparison to Castlevania, which are a little more modest in that regard.
