"All in, these franchise hallmarks amount to a game that feels like a bona fide member of the Castlevania family and actually plays like one, too. Combined with the multi-directional control and dynamic combat, the game feels more like the boss-rush version of a big action game than it does a traditional fighter, and somehow comes off as the best 3D Castlevania game Konami has produced so far. Now, who could have predicted that?"
