I'm a little split between Satan and Olrox. In the end I chose Satan's battle though. Might've chosen the silver warrior but it was more of a tutorial than a boss fight.

I liked fighting against Pan/Silver Warrior, & Satan was a fun battle.

But realistically, no other CV boss will ever beat this

Voting on gameplay quality here; ranking them as a whole would have Carmilla jump a lot higher in the preferences.

Cornell and Orlox are no brainers.

I picked Satan over Pan because it's richer on mechanics (the second wave of circles is brilliant design), even if the Pan fight is probably more spectacular.

Cornell for obvious reasons. I picked Pan because the fight is very fast paced after you gain all your majic back and you're constantly dodging those three big slices. I also chose Brauner just because I really liked the level design, fighting in the middle of a snow covered village on fire. It Reminded me of the scene in Bram Stoker's Dracula when Van Helsing's horse is killed and he makes a ring of fire to protect himself and mina from the vampires...probably because of the snow...and the fire...and the vampires  :P

^ I was hoping you could unlock a cutscene gallery after beating the game, than you could justwatch them all together like a short movie, RE4 style.

No of them. Battles were disappointing, long, and never really felt exciting. Nor were any of them very memorable.

In my eyes HoDiss would have been so much better if the bosses actually did something other than move back and forth. But I guess thats what no magic - no dash runs are for  ;)

I thought the Butcher was actually the most fun, it had personality. From a cool design point of view, the Gravedigger and Silver Knight were nice.

No it was a pain, and the girl added to the irritation, as she did in the previous level. Nice design I guess.

I hated that battle. It was almost worse than the Ice Titan...
