I've had a fun time playing this. It would've been helpful if the DLC stuff was signposted as such, as I wanted to run through the initial base game, just to get used to it and get all the relevant power ups needed, but that wee gripe aside, it's a good time. I'm still not a fan of rogue like elements, but this one isn't too bad. The overall gist is still there, but I hate losing all the shit I've collected.

I quite enjoy the Castlevania levels, and it's fun hearing the arranged versions or the classic music, and bumping into the various characters from the series. Honestly, it's that crossover that got me back interested in trying Dead Cells in the first place. But much like those games and this one, I enjoy playing them, but I'm not very good at them. I am yet to beat any of the final bosses, despite having played this for quite some time, over the course of a couple of months.

I don't doubt I'll get there one day, but until then, I'll probably just jump in every now and then just for an hour or so of fun. A very entertaining game, but the constant repetition probably stops it from being an amazing one.
