Some people here might be partial to the western style for an action hack n slash. I personally welcome most styles as long as they make sense. Castlevania demands more grit and prowess than its western counter-parts, God of War or Dantes Inferno. Some enemies dont back down to a combos because maybe thats just how the devs wanted it to be. They want it to be a deep but challenging game. This game has been the most challenging hack n slash yet from the puzzles to the battles. If anyone has played a Japanese action hack n slash, the Japanese are known to make you work ten times harder for your win than a western dev who is more interested in telling the story.
