    Confirmed: “Castlevania Belmont’s Curse is a 2D action-exploration game where players can freely explore vast, elaborately crafted maps,” Konami’s Tommy Williams told The Verge. “It is not a roguelike or roguelite game.”

      Best news ever. I don’t hate rogue games at all, but I did NOT want this to be rogue.

      Why did anyone ever assume it was going to be anything other than a Meteroidvania style game?

      So the new castlevania game will be a castlevania game? Modern gamers in shambles, the remake gremlins will never recover from this

      Thank fuck.

      Roguelikes can be done well (Hades and Hades II in particular) but they’re so tiresome to me for the most part. I love me a good vania though.

      Aww I’m disappointed. I was totally hoping for procedural generation and an overly elongated game play style where I am forced to start every run from level 1 with a temporary buff because the devs don’t wanna work to hard. /s

      (I say this with sarcasm because I don’t mind some rogue-likes/-lites, but this style is way too overused at this point).

      As much as I’m a sucker for roguelikes/lites, I don’t understand why people assumed Castlevania would go rogue.

      It is nice to see a return to form, i think a roguelike castlevania can work, and a living castle that constantly changes layout is almost begging for a roguelike. The first game in a revival year isn’t the time to experiment however. They also said they had many projects running, I can see a Harmoney of Despair type roguelike being one of those.

      It’s a side-scroller alright, but it’s definitely not a 2D game…

      I swear it’s like people don’t understand the words they use.

      Someone should come up with a term for these kind of games. Castlevania and Metroid type stuff. Maybe a Castleroid?

      Good. Not into the rogue shit and certainly don’t want Castlevania to be that way.
