And here I thought my 2023 Castlevaniathon was over! Nuh uh, we're extending it! ... By one game.

It's SotN, on the go, on your phone! Being portable is nothing new, Dracula X Chronicles already took care of that. What IS new is a dedicated spell button, which feels amazing. I'm no stranger to fighting game inputs mind you, I know my pretzel motions, but doing them over and over on top of moving all over the place can get pretty tiring. Mobile SotN gives you a dedicated button to cast spells, meaning you can throw out Tetra Spirits and Soul Steals anytime in between attacks without having to stop for Hold motions.

That saaaaaaaaid... The shop glitch no longer works here, since it's based off of Dracula X Chronicles. Even if it worked in DXC, the Pause button disappears when you talk to the old man, so 0/10, mobile game ruins everything yet again.

In all seriousness, this isn't a bad way to play SotN at all, you could do MUCH worse. It's one of the best smartphone ports I've seen, so that's something.
