[For the sake of logging a game as "done", I finished the main (non-DLC) 6 stages with a group of three.]

At this game's ABSOLUTE worst, you're playing some pretty true-to-form Castlevania with an arcadey twist. Truly timeless gameplay with a KILLER arranged soundtrack. I'm honestly surprised it held up so well for being some off-genre release from the old Xbox Live days. It's rich with replayability, with a number of characters to choose from, some solid DLC choices, and loot drops galore.

I can't recommend playing this game enough, but ONLY if you have at least a couple people around to play it with. It's cross-compatible between every Xbox console it's playable on, so if you only have a 360 and your buddy has a Series S/X, you're still good to go.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go start a little prayer circle for some kind of updated port...
