Wahaha glad you liked it heh, but it's not mine, it was made by "castlemaniacs" community, kind of a flag right now heheh

Been listening to the fan rip of the games OST. It's a bunch of rehashed and remixed tracks. Some of them though came out fantastic. I actualy do like it, it's just dissapointing to come across a lack of new tracks.

Personally, although I'm a hardcore Castlevania fan, I will never buy this pitiful game. It's not Castlevania. It's a boring concept based on SOTN minions which has nothing interesting, musics included.

Really, I'm wondering why lazy Koji Igarashi is still at the head of the series with all these 'games'.

[thernz]

Does anyone know when the DLC is coming out for the game?

By the way,
Ayami Kojima is the artist of the game. I think whoever translated that game page and said Kozima Yoshihumi, used some machine translation, because the name is clearly Ayami Kojima. Interesting thing to note is that putting her name in kanji in Google Translate brings up Kozima Yoshihumi and not Ayami Kojima, which is... clearly wrong, so that might've caused the mistranslation.

I kinda think that Ayami Kojima is using digital coloring in this. Plus her lighting and shadowing isn't as good. Colors are a bit more blander. On the plus side, her form and shapes are far superior to her previous work (or at least they don't contort oddly). Still, I feel like her style is being tossed aside with these technical improvements. I'm anticipating a game that has painted work from her again. It should be great with all the anatomical errors she usually does lessened.

Oh, and Maria here:

She should've drawn her like that in The DraculaX Chronicles, too.
Maria, that is.
Also, LOL one of the Maria color palettes has colors unusual similar to Carrie Fernandez.
(of course, that could just be my opinion, but the blue hair, red ribbon, and green clothes make it seem as such)

I think Julius looks pretty cool in this pic.  Superior to his "I could be Hammer's twin brother" face from Aria.

So does anybody have anything positive to say about this game?  It's not as nice as a new from-scratch CV, but it's pretty fun after your first few tries.  And you can't say it doesn't take the series in a new direction.  It's actually quite fun to finally play some CV with my friends.  A little weird actually, cause it's always only been a solo thing.

[VGuyver]

Dude, now that I can see much better deails on his clothing... I'm convinced now that Julius is a Pimping Spaniard. Really now? Leapord patterned coat flaps, leather vest, sink scarf, and jean leggins? The Whip doesn't help matters. Now if only they had a black gold toothed gangsta as a sidekick.

[Kale]

Woah, that maria is cute! Totally should've went that way in DXC.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Yeah this is really the way she should've looked in that game.

Why they didn't just follow their original designs is beyond me.

[thernz]

Her eyes aren't as alien, either. Always a major plus.

[uzo]

So does anybody have anything positive to say about this game?

It positively sucks.

[X]

I like that Maria pic too. It actually looks like her Rondo counterpart. And yeah the other pic of her did look like she was an alien... or hypnotized.  :

-X

[uzo]

It looks like Rondo because it is exactly that. Her sprites are reused from Rondo.

[Munchy]

So is this art for DLC characters or what?
