Started Castlevania: Curse of Darkness with a buddy of mine today. We took turns beating the different areas. Quick thoughts:
- Combat is hack-and-slash, and could potentially be good if the difficulty ramps up.
- Map is quite fun to explore for a 3D Metroidvania.
- The "Innocent Devil" partner system is awesome. Gives the gameplay some Kingdom Hearts vibes, and leveling up your sidekicks is a blast.
- RPG elements like building weapons and swapping out partners is a ton of fun.
- This game desperately needed platforming segments. Too many flat hallways.
- Story is meh so far. Although it was awesome to
fight Trevor. - Soundtrack is legendary.
