Its surprising that this is coming out in Japan so much later than the US release.
Famitsu gave it a horrible review, and so did most of the western media. I actually thought it was pretty fun, and kind of reminded me of Powerstone, and Bloody Roar. I can see no problem with Castlevania as a fighter as many do, because we did get Order Of Ecclessia around the same time anyway. At least they tried something new, even if it essentially failed.
