Nah, it might be more like "Castlevania: The Puzzle Game Part II" or something.
That's a completely different direction. MercurySteam's LoS might not be so popular here with some people (not me, I think the game is pretty great, though it's just not that CV to me, but it's still good) but at least it's an action/platform game. A 'different direction' suggest them going in a very oddball direction away from the core franchise, like what they did with Encore of the Night.
