Ratings and reviews

This game grew on me over time. The progression is better than most mobile games, although it does have the normal, terrible system where you need energy to do missions. Your energy recovers over time, or you can pay to refill it. Getting new equipment (summoning) is random. This is just the worst. If I could change one thing, it would be this. You can also spend energy to auto-complete missions you've previously beat, farming the rewards. This makes it feel less like a game than a chore.

As a big fan since Aria of Sorrow, I am actually surprise how the game is so far. Decent gameplay, graphic is ok, the story is serviceable. However, the touch control is just not as good. Lot of dashing in the wrong direction while trying to move away. Kinda annoying after awhile. Edit: so far i love the game. But the queue for bounty is very slow. (Maybe due to the amount of people playing right now). But have you consider to add bots for multiplayers to shorten the wait time.

The game takes a bit to get used to but once you get past the quirks of a castlevania game in mobile it becomes a very entertaining mobile game. As a mobile game it's not something designed to be played for hours on end. The level format does this justice. Each mission taking 3 minutes or less if you're appropriately equipped. There's a bounty mode that takes a bit longer for the times when you have more time on your hands. Fix a few minor issues and the game will be in a perfect state. 5 stars.
