But bland on pretty much everything. Not sure if want, but I appreciate the effort. Music seems weak though. Did Michiru Yamane really make this?

Just a Castlevania ripoff. Konami should sue that hack.

They're basing it on the worst Castlevania so it's already doomed.

She looks like she's running against a strong wind. Can't stand the running animation.

I'd say it will be 5/10 at worst and 8/10 at beast. Hope I'm not wrong. I've been thirsty for another Castlevania game since LoS happened.

to be honest it doesn't look like MN9 at all. It doesn't look exceptionally good, but it looks nowhere as terrible as MN9 did. I'll play it.

I don't really like the visual design of the levels. Something about either the modeling or the lighting or something gives me that terrible 90's 3D animated video vibe. It feels kind of low quality. Also, the animations feel really stilted and low effort.

But since you brought it up, we can talk about how Touhouvania was a far greater Castlevania game than it had any right to be. I dunno how they did it. It might even end up being better than Bloodstained, to be honest.

>>379691652
Why are you making the same thread every 6 hours every day?

>>379695753
it really doesn't when you compare it to most other igavania titles. Those can have more hectic gameplay if you abuse animation canceling and chain backdashes or shit like that. They also get a bit more hectic when you expand your movement options. We only get to see a double jump and the very occasional use of a slide and backdash.
It's almost like back with Super Mario 3D World, where so many complained that Mario was walking so fucking slow because for some reason all the trailers were shot without people pushing the run button. I am not saing that Bloodstained will be a great igavania, but it seems to have the basics down well enough and it will come down to specific details.

Horrible and more on the edgelord side than the Gothic feels it should have given.
>Music
Don't even fucking start with music. It was generic, unremarkable and weak. It wasn't even good atmospheric music.
>Level design.
Here is where the game somewhat shone, but it didn't help that your character looked like a police car with the lights on and you'd have to fight pretty much the same monsters through every level.

You're objectively wrong

"edgelord" isn't an always an argument despite what most of /v/ believes. What about it was any more "muh edge" than SoTN?
>Music
You're right on this point. The second game was poo but it had much better music.
>Level design
Half of your spiel has nothing to do with the level design. Although, I'd imagine you're fine fighting the same skeletons and armored guys every 2D Castlevania but just want something else to complain about

They were great at the time but they are pretty old, still even Trine 1 EE looks better today than this shit.

Little Nightmares has fantastic puppet/miniature visuals but probably not the kind of sidescroller you're looking for.

make everything move twice as fast and you might have a game.

>>379696884
It had better story than most of the old games and I love old games. Just try reading dialogues in Aria and not cringe.

This looks similar to Abyss Odyssey and will probably end up more or less the same.

I'll eventually get it in a bundle, play for an hour, and then drop it because the janky graphics and controls make it immediately clear it's a 6.5 game that's really not worth the time.

>>379697748
>It had better story than most of the old games and I love old games
No. Aria's dialogs were ok. Dawn and Portrait had both horrible story.
But LoS tried hard to shine in this aspect and it was just horrible. Any fan could have done it better without butchering every single character on their way.

Miraim is ugly, she has always looked ugly and I don't know how to fix her without redesigning her entirely.

The obnoxiously huge knockers, her complete copy of Shanoa's gimmick and those clothes make her look less threatening than the average skeleton.

I like the crystal impaling her to give her new abilities, but they should really style the fuck out of it.

>>379697984
Even Abyss Odyssey didn't look as floaty as the bloodstained promo material.
And people complained about the controls in AO a lot - even if i thought they were decent.
BRotN looks like it plays like shit, and that's the one part they absolutely can't mess up.

The world, the characters, the God of War-type fights. In SotN you find and beat all sorts of horrifying creatures as well, but the "mystery" and the "magic" related to the world is gone.

It also helps that Touhouvania actually looked gothic. Here, I'm not really sure what to make of it. The MC looks like she should be in a quirky harem show instead, not a Castlevania game.

>>379699072
Yes. This was a big mistake.

I hate how the animations do not blend together at all. Looks very choppy. Why do they do this?

>>379699186
Because they don't give a shit and put no effort into it, same reason graphics look so shit.

I honestly cant stand her rose tattoos. I'm okay if it was only on her arm or maybe her face, but to be covered in bright colored tattoos just put me off. She looks like a whore in that regard.
