Seems like it has the potential to be really interesting, with the mix of RPG elements like levelling up, equipment and stuff like that, but the bosses are really brutal and I just hit a roadblock early on.
I'm shelving it for now because I do want to return to this sometime, but the bosses are really damn hard, even on Normal, which makes me reluctant to play through it. I've never been a Castlevania guy. I've only played through Lords of Shadow to completion, but I know this carries on the spirit of the series, so I am interested in getting into it.
