After 10 years of lacking an actual Castlevania game since Konami stopped caring about most of its gaming properties, it was nice to see what Iga and his dedicated team could do. The gameplay was a great update to the formula from the PS1, GBA, and DS games. The characters were well designed, and the music absolutely slays. One of the few Kickstarters I've done and absolutely worth it. Sadly the Switch version was not as well refined, but falling through a wall and defeating a boss that way was priceless. I am really looking forward to its sequel next year.
