Until one day, Genya Arikado receives a mysterious letter.

“The Grimoires have awoken, and the world is being consumed by darkness. I implore you, please come to our aid!”

Wary of what may be lying in wait before him, Genya Arikado ventures forth into the moonlit night.

Characters

The core narrative is centered around Genya Arikado. Within the narrative, you will be able to play as, and alongside many iconic characters across the Castlevania series.

    Genya Arikado – A dignified figure working in the shadows of the Japanese government. Few are aware of his existence, or his role as one of the few remaining safeguards preventing the resurrection of Dracula. He is a man with astonishingly beautiful features, but a cold temperament that few can overcome.
    And more… including Alucard, Simon, Charlotte, Shanoa, and Maria.

Wasn't this announced awhile back?  Guess they're finally ready to shovel this shit out onto the market.  Sigh.... I suppose I'll at least try it when it does.

It's called Pixel Puzzle Collection and it's supposed to be really good and free without any monetization hooks.

Haven't tried it yet though.

Ground movement looks better than what I remember from Bloodstained videos (maybe it got changed later but I remember the latter looking rather floaty).

I wonder how this would play with an attached controller (if that's even supported).
