I really enjoyed my short time with this DMCvania. Movement was fun, the whip combos and perfect guards were really satisfying to use. Yamane's music is good as ever and creates a perfect atmosphere in the castle. But I felt like the game had potential to be so much more than it was. The level layouts are fairly repetitive, the "swinging" and platforming are unintuitive, bosses are mostly very simple and easy. Still, it's a good translation of the series to 3D.
