I really don't understand why people enjoy this game. I like Metroid because of the movement upgrades that makes backtracking fun. I like Castlevania because of the RPG aspects that make you feel significantly more powerful with each upgrade and the variety of drops from enemies makes it fun to go back and see what you can get. This game has neither of those qualities. The way you move and attack at the beginning of the game is basically the same as at the end of the game. There are some RPG aspects like a currency system but there's no point where you feel powerful or any enemy weapon drops. I wanted to like it but sadly did not at all.
