DLC Dominic

[Gabriel]

Dominic's movement is getting on my nerves in this DLC, I hope it improves with the upgrades.

Sadly it doesn't gets much better (you gain a double-jump but it follows the same physics)
The one issue I find this new mode is how they tried to transplant the feel and movement of the NES Castlevania games into 2.5D, and for Classic 1 it worked well enough since the levels were linear and short, but in Classic 2 the controls work against you since the layout is much bigger and complex than before with no way to speed-up the process (you don't have a slide but a dash attack which isn't actually much faster than walking, never found the back-dash in Bloodstained to be anywhere as spammable as in SotN so I wouldn't rely on that one either)

her attack sucks to its just a a strait attack making it a pain to even hit the candles

simons whip arched for a reason

and the lives system is annoying sure it only costs you money if you run out but still annoying

Yup, that's one detail they totally forwent for both Classic modes probably because it would be harder to animate in 3D without a lot of winding, despite of keeping that same level of delay and commitment to the action (like the whips seen in the main mode, Curse of the Moon doesn't has this issue )

machine fortress, with its movement and the delay in attacks, it is very complicated here.

It may be that there is a lack of gameplay on my part, but Dominic doesn't help with this crude movement either.

Saw a playthrough where Dominique has a divekick(late game upgrade maybe). Probably helps with movement a bit.

Plus I find that Attacking followed by a backdash keeps you out of danger in a lot of cases. Even moreso the more you upgrade your whip/bandage. for more range.
