This is nice game with a lot of monsters, beautiful levels and very well designed bosses. I just didn`t feel it is Castlevania. The gameplay is 100% clone of God of War. The main character is not strong and very simple. Developer must find the identity and unique gameplay in next part, otherwise Castlevania always will be the clone of GOW.

This game was released for consoles in 2010 and ported to PC only in 2013. For PC they keep all original level of graphics, actions, features, effects and gameplay - this looks a little bit not-enough for PC. Not exactly all works fine. Control and camera view is ugly. It is almost impossible to throw rocks to Titans using keyboard. Some actions are an extremely timing like third spot in blood maze puzzle or fire in music box.

Anyway, it is nice to see the developers are making the portation from consoles to PC. Hopefully there would be more releases like that. Just one wish... please, make it a little bit more quick.

Verdict: 60/100
