I played this on release. Just like everyone else, I was hoping this would be Soul Calibur 2 but with Richter, Alucard, Maria, and Trevor. Instead I got a really bad arena fighter with Yuri Lowenthall Alucard, awkward teenage years Maria, and Trevor (fuck yeah, got one).
It's completely obvious that the people who made this game had no idea what they were doing. If you're going to make a crossover of all the main Castlevania protagonists etc, then why would you also radically overhaul the character designs? Eric in particular is wholly unrecognizable. The gameplay seems untested too: Dracula moves at like half the speed of any other character with basically no way to close the distance and no projectiles that are effective from a full stage apart, so picking him is begging to be love-tapped and timer scammed.
Also I know that "どこを見ている" is a really common thing for anime characters to say when they dodge an attack but a literal translation of that line for three characters is pretty irritating. Where are you looking? Where are you looking?
Aeon's timer-dependent special attacks are a pretty cute idea I guess.
