I really think they should have made new assets for this. I just don't think it has "enough" to really make this work.

Who else would be added?
 
I guess Grant Danasty, other Belmonts maybe, I dunno. Whatever. I just don't know if I like this game at all. lol

They're adding Julius Belmont and Maria Renard in the DLC

The character number will be remedied with DLC. Thing is, they really had no business releasing a six-player game with only five playable characters from the start. Furthermore, to address the issues with people kicking people who play as certain characters, Konami should've forced everyone to play as a different character.

I just wanted another Castlevania game. The mini episodes take away from the exploration that made SotN fun. Shadow Complex had it and I loved it. That's what I wanted. More characters is logical, but really I'm probably gonna stick to Alucard anyways.
