(EDIT) I've just cancelled my pledge for this game, due to the asinine "backer unlock" achievements bullshit. I'll still get the game when it comes out eventually, don't get me wrong, but I'll just be waiting for the inevitable 50-75% off Steam sale now, is all. Seriously, video game industry, plain and simple, please just make a fucking video game if you're going to make one, and don't do all this stupid, extraneous shit. (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2) And... I caved in and backed it again anyway, just a couple days before the Kickstarter ended. Oh well. So much for principles and all that good shit, I guess. >_>; (/EDIT 2)
Seldom are the video game Kickstarter projects that actually grab my attention these days. This here is one of those rare few (even if the pledge level for just the digital version of the game is a wee bit pricier than normal). I'm interested in this in a way that I wasn't even in Mighty No 9, given that I was never all that big of a Mega Man fan as a kid, but was always a huge Castlevania fan.
Just to note, it's already over double-funded as of the time of this post.
Even though this obviously can't be called "Castlevania," Dracula himself is public domain, so he could very well make an appearance in this game. I suppose he'd have to be sufficiently different from the Dracula in the games, but that wouldn't be very hard to do, given that Dracula's appearance isn't consistent even across Castlevania games. I kind of don't see him showing up in this, though. Why retread old ground (at least as far as characters go) when you can go in a completely new, original direction? As for retreading old ground as far as gameplay and such go, however, I am all for that. I'd probably play new Metroidvania games from now until the end of time if I could.
(Strange... I thought I had a "Castlevania" LJ tag, but apparently not...?)
