I'm trying to get a consensus on what the Castlevania fandom would like to see once Castlevania: Nocturne wraps up. Which direction should the creative team go in if the series continues?

Playing through Circle of the Moon and every boss is referred to online as “one of the hardest bosses in the game” so I never know how awful it’s going to be. Except now I’m on the goat guy, and I hate him. So I think he’s the hardest, thanks

Castlevania Circle of the Moon Thoughts Part 1

Finally tackling more Castlevania games, I'm so excited!!!

As of writing this, I have just beaten Adramelech.

-MAN, I forgot how fucking fun it is to play a Metroidvania

-Idk what the general sentiment is when it comes to opening maps in Castlevania games, but that's actually part of the fun for me in a way. Getting new powers and then making my way through the castle to get back to places to see if I can access new areas. Good shit.

-The story is certainly present! It's not bad at all, but holy hell is it basic so far, in a predictable sense. There's also just not that much dialogue to begin with as of now, so I don't really feel anything for the main crew yet. Nathan and Hugh are cute (as in, I like their designs), but that's about it. I don't mean to compare it to Symphony of the Night too much (especially since i never played that game) but I'd imagine that returning fans of that game might have been a bit disappointed in comparison.

-From what I've read, the biggest issue that held this game back was its lighting on GBA which made things really hard to see. While this isn't a problem for me considering I'm playing on the collection, the art style is still comparatively darker in color choices. Or at least the first area is, which I imagine is what stuck out the most to people as hard to see, because Nathan's outfit colors are very similar to the Catacombs.

-Aside from that, the game looks good, though it is very obviously the first GBA title, if that makes sense. Things look good, but the geography can get repetitive and samey. The enemy sprites are fucking phenomenal in animation (for the most part), though the same can't be said for the character sprites. Running as Nathan is hilariously wonky.

-THE MUUUUUUUSIC, IT'S SO GOOD. Both the remixes and the original tracks. There's a reason that Awake got a remix in Smash, ughhh, just amazing music.

-Man, the game is just fun to play. It's like fitting into a glove. I love exploring, seeing what I can do and can't do yet. But I will be critical of the other mechanics so far. I don't know if I'm not spending as much time as I should trying to get more equipment and DSS cards, but I feel those things are a little underutilized so far? Obviously they're useful, but I find I'm not engaging with them as much as I thought I would.

I check out equipment whenever it's dropped to see if it's good/better than what I have, but it's not expansive yet.

And same with the DSS cards, they're randomly dropped so I don't really care to grind more to get them. They're very useful, but more in a "it might as well be another piece of equipment/optional subweapon" way rather than feeling completely integral to the game flow.

-The only thing I actively dislike about the game is the Adramelech boss fight, I think there was a bit too much going on in that fight for it to have that much HP and be in the space that it was. It felt like I had to have the Cross to beat it, which left a bitter taste in my mouth. But other than that, I'm having a blast playing Circle of the Moon.
