I've summarized it down I think to these points.
Buy this game if you like: Actual Castlevania gameplay but without a straight XP-leveling mechanic, loot-lust, 2-D multiplayer action, light RPG min/maxing elements, really challenging 2-D platforming.
Buy this game if you hate: Castlevania storylines, the room change animations form previous Castlevania games, inverted castles.
The Baseline: You better be a pretty die-hard Castlevania fan that doesn't mind the fact that there's not the typical singleplayer experience here, due to the missing storyline and missing castle exploration elements.
