Obviously this is pre-alpha or whatever, but Miriam being completely silent is still jarring.

Right now my biggest complaint is the backdash. Being able to infinitely chain them without canceling is just plain wrong. Everything else feels great and I like directional shard mechanic. the enemies are a little ugly but I want to see more.

Hey, Juste could do that!

It was useful in OoE because the difficulty was tuned higher than SotN. I used the dash in Symphony, but useful might be a stretch.

Clearly you never learned the majesty of shield dashing to go at light speed.

The boss does looks pretty stupid though, I appreciate Castlevania has a proud history of sexy monster ladies but giant titty monster just looks tacky.

Minor complaint though, game looks and feels fantastic. Really glad I stuck in with a last second slacker backer pledge.


It's colours are so garish, it looks unfinished. But I guess they were happy with it.

Voice acting is the worst thing to happen to platformers. One of the great aspects of Shovel Knight is the lack of VA.

Also its a weird thing to say when we've known that Bloodstained was going to have voiceacting to begin with what with David Hayter and SOTN Alucard's VA being announced during the campaign.

In general, sound folio stuff like character grunts gets added way later in development, so she'll eventually not be silent.

You can cancel your dash with attack and the other way around letting you attack quickly by canceling one into the other.

The first time that happened I got caught and juggled to death, it's a great move.

As far as voiced lines go, I feel "A PAINTING of the SOUL" and "THIS is ART!" don't get enough credit.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
One-off, unobtrusive or very well-placed lines or shouts are fine. Enemies or bosses calling out the name of every attack they use, or player characters shouting with every attack, however, can be really frustrating.

Alucard's original VA is awesome, though. The super deep voice combined with the androgynous design. So badass. I think the VA died, though. :(

Reminds me of a guy I met once who derided the SotN port in DXC because they made Alucard sound whinier

Like, straight up said it's not worth playing because of it.

That's pretty loving silly.

Then again, I bought that game for Rondo, and was honestly turned off by the new VA. I had recently played SotN on 360, so it was a little jarring but I didn't feel like I had missed out on much.

I played DXC SotN with the Japanese voices and have like two other versions with the original ones so you get two good voice tracks and not the boring one.

NOW TIME ADVANCE!

And yeah the Dracula X version dub of SOTN was the definition of "more accurate but more lifeless" type of translation. (Though original SOTN's translation was pretty jank, I'll defend the voices themselves though, Alucard and Dracula's fit well.)
