I haven't been able to find the fun in this game, after the addictive nature of growing your empire loses it's novelty. On the default difficulty, I feel like I move forward like water, taking the easiest seeming choices without strategic consideration, until I get bored or win. This lack of organic learning through play makes me feel under prepared, and uninterested, in trying higher difficulties or the multiplayer. I'll try other entries someday.

The game has tons of style and Alucard is pretty but I lost interest after a few sessions. I found myself bored by the many combat encounters. Much of the level design is built in service of fighting cool looking, unchallenging enemies. I much prefer the traps and puzzle-like scenarios of the earlier titles to the long combat hallways found in this game.
