I’ll be honest and admit to being a scrub, but also wanting to get best ending, so i’m loosely following a guide as I play SotN.
Just got the Mist ability from the Coliseum, so that’s not horrible for how much i’ve played...and died. Many times lol.
Gotta say though, when it comes to Smash, I wonder if Simon really led the pack in terms of picks or if it was just “Castlevania”. The WoL map seems heavily inspired by SotN, the designs of the monsters seem heavily inspired by SotN, Dracula is designed after SotN, and Simon, of all the content, is the outlier.
At this rate, I almost would say Alucard was a front runner, but then Richter was pushed in favor of Alucard, but that also allowed them to create an “Echo”, but they went with Simon as the main draw because it’s Simon.
That probably made no sense but i’m super puzzled by everything relating to the Castlevania content now. SotN is my first, but I might play Rondo after and get really angry at it from what i’ve heard.
