Konami being its usual Konami self
Grimoire of Souls has been announced as the next Castlevania game in the long-running and much-loved video game series. It’s a pretty cool name that wasted on what looks to be an utterly soulless and bland looking mobile side-scrolling experience.
It’s not going to be headed to anything other than mobile phones making this whole thing even worse somehow as the idea is pretty neat. It looks to be taking heroes from tons of games in the series including Simon Belmont, Alucard, someone from that weird Wii Castlevania fighting game, and even some famous secondary helpers like Maria.
It’s got a full story mode that sees everyone interacting as if the timelines are being merged or altered. With so many games and characters in the series, it’s a great way to introduce new players into the series’ deep history and maybe even get them into some of the older games that you can now easily find on several collections from Konami. It’s just a shame it’s some mobile game that nobody will play.
I mean, come on now. How hard would it actually be to at least throw this thing onto the Nintendo Switch so Konami can at least pretend they care about anything. I suppose they can’t shift any people over from their pachinko machine department. I can already see people online without much experience with the shit Konami pulls praising the game for how it looks in the trailer above.
They love the action and say it looks great, but we of a certain age know better. A mobile-only title of a major console franchise isn’t going to be great. It’s going to be full of in-app purchases and controls that won’t work right. You know I’m right on this one. Name a good side-scrolling action game that’s only on a mobile. That’s what I thought.
