Citadale - The Awakened Spirit Reviews

Sorry but no. I've completed the series so far and although it's been declining in quality at least they were some decent Castlevania clones. This one is full of bad design and more than questionable gameplay decisions. There is a reason that games let you give more than one hit to stage bosses and insta-death were discarded long ago among many issues i encountered just in the first stages. I don't know why the devs has insisted on continuing with the animations and gameplay of part 4 when it was the dullest compared to the original trilogy. I don't think this sequel was necessary in any way.

I wanted to like this game but I couldn't... Graphics are fine, music is OK, animations are meh, enemy IA non existent and story, I didn't gave it the chance. IA is the main reason I'm not recommending this game. Enemies seems to move randomly or using some kind of pathfinding algorithm in order to reach you, which some times is just painful. There's a boss who will move immediately after being hit, sometimes it will move in your direction... sometimes it wont, aaaand if you enter the room without a subweapon you can throw upwards you might end up dying of boredom waiting for the boss to move down so you can reach it. Also I don't recomend it because I hate instakill spikes... PS The game's not hard you just need to feel confortable with the controls... and the enemy behavior.
