Okay, now these games are
REALLY not making much sense now. Even though the Pachislot titles aren't Canon, the first two games gave off the impression that the story (if there is one to begin with) took place after the events of Curse of Darkness. However, this one just... has me facepalming every time something new is revealed. Here's why:
- This game appears to be going backwards instead of forward by trying to be based off of Dracula's Curse.
- Alucard doesn't look that much different than his SoTN self, and I would expect him to have a change of style in his wardrobe and hair.
- Sypha's outfit is too feminine and goes against Canon. If they were basing this game on CVIII, then I would expect those robes to be covering up her appearance.
- Grant is only in 8-bit. Why does everyone hate him so much? As if his story in Judgment, and his exclusion from that horrible Warren Ellis movie weren't bad enough, the people at KPE were too lazy to give him a proper and updated look for this game. Fuck these guys.
- Like Alucard, Trevor should've had a different look; you sure as Hell don't see Richter running around in the same outfit from Rondo in SoTN-oh wait... Yep, recycling sprites AND renders is so much easier than making shit from scratch.
But who am I to complain? It's just a stupid non-Canon slot-machine game that will never see the light of day outside of Japan, right? *sigh* So many excellent resources wasted on... this. Why, Konami? Why?
