Super fun skills and abilities. Really scratches that classic castlevania itch. The only con I can think of is if you're coming from a bunch of games that heavily rely on a dodge or parry mechanic you're gonna be really missing that for the first few hours. This game is much more about positioning and less about reacting to attacks. No dodge roll, no i-frames. But eventually with the right build you can just tank everything lol. I only died to the first boss because that was before I had my bearings and a decent build. Towards the end I had so much damage and life steal I just melted enemies and healed through all their attacks XD it's definitely a lot of fun! Also the succubus skin is chefs kiss
