✓ Same family of third-person Action RPGs: deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling
≠ Its own twist: shooter, third-person shooting and horror tension
Released 14 years after Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.
✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling
≠ Its own twist: horror tension, strong narrative focus and punishing difficulty
An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.
Released 13 years after Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.
✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling
≠ Its own twist: deep simulation, strong narrative focus and open world exploration, while skipping horror setting
You play the shark. Eat fish, wildlife and swimmers to evolve, upgrade your bite and hunt the hunters back, all narrated as a straight-faced wildlife documentary. The B-movie tone is the appeal and it commits to it. The recurring complaint is technical rather than creative: crashes, stutter and startup failures on modern Windows come up constantly, even from players who finished it.
Released 15 years after Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.
✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and single-player focus
≠ Where it differs: brings open world exploration, combat magic and fantasy world, while skipping action RPG combat
Where it drifts furthest from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness: setting.
