| Basically good except several rough points | Aceearly1993 | 2023-04-19 | Version 1.0.0 |
The conversion is basically good, but one point makes me feel weird: I can accept that Albus' rapid fire in OG OoE being hard to implement in DoS, but I cannot understand why the OG backdash + crouch cancel mechanic has to be changed. Maybe it's too strong with gun? But I don't see any balance problem with Soma's backdash + crouch handgun cancel so I cannot really understand this change. Also Alucard secretly gains a Crissaegrim-like weapon with flame attribute, which is good, but maybe a little * too * good; it melts down even the late game bosses like the real SotN Crissaegrim do in mere seconds. I though the basic attack power of that weapon could be dropped by 3 or 4 units to avoid being too overpowered. These two points are my only complaints to this hack, overall a good conversion for somebody who wants the exact same game but received minor changes. | |||

All the special moves are right at home in this hack, though I can't help but feel he's a bit clunky with the lack of auto cancel on his main attack as well as being able to back dash cancel. Overall was still very fun! | |||
