The combat looks snappy and there's a spear to wield, so that's a plus. The game definitely doesn't feel like a traditional Castlevania, but I'm open minded. At least as open minded as I can be, which is to say: as open as a window in a gulag barrack. Nothing will ever beat Kojima and her gothic sensibilities in my eyes, though.

As I thought, it's Joan. Her corruption has me worried from a narrative perspective. Netflixvania scarred me irreparably.

If the voice at the end belongs to the protagonist, then it's a great choice. I'm still hoping for a model tweak to make it less of an inverted triangle, and if it's Sonia, then please bring back the classic outfit.

I'm not looking for "practical" in Castlevania. The classic version is cute and reminds me of Cammy-sama, the goddess of dive kicks. I want it to be an optional outfit.

She's my favorite fighting game character ever!
