The way Konami blends 2D and 3D Castlevania elements forces the franchise into very modern waters, away from the tried-and-true "whoops, the castle is mirrored now" and "head back 20 minutes after a boss" formula. It's not a total failure of the brand, but Mirror of Fate comes up short often enough to be disappointing for anyone heading into it with expectations based on recent 2D entries.
