Well, here's hoping that it's balanced better than Castlevania: Soma & Friends.

HOD x Dragon's Crown in both graphics and art style.

It looks cool, but there's a certain sterility and coldness about it.

Build a new multiplayer castle crawler based on HoD from the ground up.

Still use tiny-ass ant people sprites with DS resolution.


(and hey, the blue fire girl kind of has Charlotte's design from that think I just posted)

[Reinhart77]

that was nice

[DoctaMario]

That game looks pretty cool, hopefully it doesn't control as sluggishly as HoD does.

[Eric Roman]

I don't think I like this kind of game.  :\

o_o Charlotte?!

[shelverton.]

Wow, what a rip-off.
I am happy for the people who actually enjoyed HoD though. This must be right up their alley.

Wow, what a rip-off.

Who knows? The rip-off might be better

The game does cross the line between Castlevania inspired and chinese knockoff. Also that middle of 2017 release date bothers me a bit... Can they even show they have more than one stage finished?
The fact that there's already a "shopping" section in the main menu is worrisome.
Can we see the rest of the characters?
I can't even find anything out about its developers. They don't even seem to have a website.

I greenlit this on steam, but mainly for the ample breasts of the protagonist than anything else. This one doesn't seem to be a particularly inspired spin on the "Metroidvania" formula, but a new one is always welcome XD

I greenlit it for the Castle Editor, which I always thought Harmony of Despair should have had.
Also because boobs.
The fact that the developer responded within 24 hours to my critique of the miniscule sprites is encouraging though, even if it was something of a canned response that I hear from a lot of developers, but that also includes developers like Square-Enix and Capcom, so that by itself doesn't entirely worry me.

To be fair, these guys probably have little more than a fraction of HoD's budget. Their art direction is really lackluster and slapped together as is. If it is any good I'd at least give it a try, but I won't pretend to have liked HoD now or ever.
