Very fun game with a decently interesting story. I enjoyed the character progression from the first game, despite there not being too much of it. As most Castlevania games go, the story and characters are the least important part. The design of the map is pretty good, and the controls and combat have been improved from Aria and a few of the souls have been as well, but the use of the touch screen is a needless gimmick that interrupts bosses and wastes time. On top of all of that, the grinding for souls can be ridiculous at times and completely ruins the flow of the game at times. The game could be a 9/10 if the seal system was completely replaced by keys and you were guaranteed an enemy's soul the first time you kill them. I've heard of a version that removes the touch screen mechanics, but as it is, this game is really fun, with a lot of room for improvement.
