A nice short metroidvania palette-cleanser after endless hours of Baldur's Gate. Pretty much by the numbers as well, so very appropriate

Controls are a bit stiff, but that might be because it's a 3DS port, but otherwise it's solid. One small thing that irked me was putting Trevor's story after Alucard's, as the narrative climax seems to be at the end of Alucard's chapter; also, traversal abilities carry over between chapters, which just feels a bit weird when we're going back in time, and back to non-vampire form. Probably could've just swapped these chapters without much issue.. although the maps would have to be adjusted too, so maybe not so simple

Anyway, bit of comfort food after stuffing myself on the all-you-can-eat Baldur's Gate banquet. Let's see what else is in the fridge…

Huh, I completely slept on this one. Added to the wishlist, I played the GBA Castlevanias like a maniac back in the day hehe
