Curse of the Moon 2 is pretty much the same as the first game. That classic-old school Castlevania feel but with a few more playable characters and that is fine. But whereas Curse of the Moon was pretty straight-forward, this game goes a little bit more wacky. I mean, one of the playable characters is a CORGI PILOTING A STEAMPUNK MECH so really, what else is there to say. The game's a masterpiece.
Ok jokes aside, the game isn't a masterpiece. While the core gameplay is fine, for some reason, Inti Creates decided that if you wanted to beat the game, you'll have to replay each of the seven levels three times before you can access the final level. And this honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not that the levels themselves are bad but going through them three times with minimal variation just felt tedious. Curse of the Moon 1 was fine but nothing special but that game didn't force you to repeat levels. This one does, for some reason, and i was honestly prepared to give it a 5/10 but that last level saved it for me and i brought the score up to a 6/10. Both the level itself and the way you got there was honestly really cool and i ain't gonna question it because this is a game where one of the playable characters is a corgi in a mech.
Now my rating of this game is based on the single player but if you're able to bring a friend and play multiplayer, this game shoots up to like an 8/10. Just based on my experience with the multiplayer, this game is a blast to play with friends, especially when you can laugh at each other's incompetence.
