I played it again today and it was kind of addicting..one level more, one more, one more! Early levels are short because the enemies are weak. I wonder how it gets later..Still haven′t used the spells nor cards. For now it has been just the basic stuff, some new equipment, experience points..I like the game for a quick play on the go, for a phone game with a touch screen it′s done well.

I am dying to get my hands on this now!! I hope it comes out in the US very soon...

It is likely releasing in the US tonight, the app store refreshes around midnight or so every Thursday.

It makes me want to replay SOTN right now, so I will rather go play SOTN and save this Encore for times while waiting in lines somewhere..The phone is the only thing I always carry with me, so it might come in handy one day.

I actually had that notion, considering the app store's cycle and Konami's love of Thursdays, and I hope it's true.

Also, I second the need for an Android version. I have an iPod touch, but my cell phone is the Droid, and I love it.

Been playing it on my ipod touch, and I gotta say, it isn't that bad. Definately a good time killer, it has some deep ideas. Still at the beginning but I think I got the gist of the gameplay..

Overreact much?

[Profbeanburrito]

I hope it comes out on the ds or psp or something, cause I doubt there will be a version for blackberrys

One of the few times i didn't have to buy a console for one game I already had it lol.  Its a fun if you like puzzle games much got it anyways for completeness.

My 3G 64-bit Ipod Touch is jailbroken anyways so i can play rondo of blood, nes, snes and gens castlevanias and in theory the psx ones, tho i haven't gotten them (psx ones) to work past the title screen yet.

Second to that the psp with Custom Firmware is the best cv portable thing for completess, followed by the wii which i noticed Rondo finally game out officially for, which i went and bought on the wii virtual console store immedialy lol.

I've invested a good three hours or so in the game now, and I'd say overall its worth the 5$ for a Castlevania and/or puzzle game fan. The RPG aspects are handled pretty well, and the gameplay is easily adapted to within a few matches.

I do have a few customary gripes, though:

-Only Alucard, Death, Maria, and some of the lesser enemies sprites have been redone in higher definition. Much of the time the 'versus' pre-match screens will show a smooth, higher detail character model standing next to a ripped-directly from SotN pixels and all version.

-Though the music changes as you navigate through the areas of the castle, in the matches themselves its always the same score over and over again, and it gets annoying after awhile.

-The touch screen sensitivity seems a little wonky, although it could be my iphone case.

Other than that, its a swell time!

Now that it's out, do we know who the secret character is?  Galamoth?  Olrox?  Master Librarian?  Ferryman?  Trevor/Sypha/Grant?
