Very solid Castlevania game. Really liked the split party member mechanics, while many games would be content to just hand wave away your companion character(s), Charlotte is a great foil to Jonathan both in writing and gameplay. The portraits in the game splitting the map up into different segments was a nice change of pace, and definitely a great change for those who hate getting lost, but upon reflection I feel being able to get lost in Dracula's castle is part of the charm of the series to me.
