The game is good, but you need to play it on HARD mode to enjoy it
The game is good, but you need to play it on HARD mode to enjoy it. Normal mode is too easy. You don't even need to learn the Bosses attack patterns, simple button mashing does the job. It's not only counter productive but it will ruin your experience. After coming from Blasphemous and Hollow Knight, I completed 40% of the map without dying once in this game. Then I felt playing this way is meaningless, I have to higher the difficulty level. Sadly the HARD and NIGHTMARE modes are locked until you finished the game on NORMAL. But there is a way around, a cheat code. You have to change your profile name from the default MIRIAM to NIGHTMARE (all capital letters) at the beginning of the game. Then you will find all difficulties are unlocked from the start.

THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR
THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR. No more crying in prom night, no more half-assed jobs. Igarashi promised something, and he delivered. When he saw the demo getting bashed, he worked on it till no one could say it was mediocre. With less funds that Mighty Flop 9, Koji Igarashi shows us that Castlevania will live forever, as long as he's around, doing what he does best: Igarashivania games.

Frustrating more than fun
Not recommended because the developers have updated the game and added a forced Epig account requirement and the game doesn't work anymore if you don't have one. If they can make these changes to a game I've purchased many years ago then I'm not going to get their new game when it releases as there's no guarantee they're not going to do the same with it. If you really want to play this game get it from GOG, that version of the game is unaffected.
