Castlevania: LOS mirror of fate 3DS. I miss IGA
« on: March 01, 2013, 10:20:01 AM »
After playing the demo today, all i could say is " I miss IGA". The game is hard to see because its so zoomed out. The battle system is a 3d action game battle system thrown into a 2d plane game. Shit feels awful. Framerate feels bad. I will still be picking it up because its a castlevania game, but i will wait until its cheap

Yeah, I really didn't like it either. It was really, really boring. I think you're right about crap 3d action in a 2d game- the "jump on the boss and hit Y" stuff was stupid.

Yup. I'd probably be fine with the game if they didn't call it Castlevania. It's like taking that shitty Sylpheed game by Square Enix on the Xbox 360 and calling it Gate of Thunder.

I didn't mean its name per se, but the fact that they
couldn't make a classy one like on the DS/GBA.
It's been quite a while ya know.

Bummer, I was hoping atleast this one would feel more like a CV game.  Maybe they'll go back to the old CV universe someday...maybe?

IMO the GBA/DS era was so kind to Castlevania, moreso than any other system, that I don't even need another one.

They did. But it's a lightweight game called Castlevania AfterBirth for the Wii and it's digital download only, not a real game. I'd like to see one like that with a full budget.

With that said, for what it is it's pretty good. It's way better than Adventure which it's loosely based on. I had a lot of fun playing Castlevana ReBirth and I'd recommend it to those who are fans of the old style gameplay games in the series.

Agree.  Especially since it may be the last good Castlevania game we ever get.

Yes, but the time I spent trying to get through that clock level made it take a crazy long time to actually finish.

I forgot about that one.  I'd be more likely to pick it up if it were on PSN, since I have zero room for anymore games on my Wii, but I can easily fit plenty of games on my PS3, but it's probably locked as a Wii exlusive me thinks.  I personally prefer the Castleroid formula(partially cuz I can actually beat them, whereas most of the older ones I just suck at), but I do love the old games.
