Steam Deck: Valve rates the game "Playable" (not "Verified") because some text is too small. KONAMI confirms that parts of the interface go off-screen on the Deck and says it is working on a fix.
On PC many players get a black screen at launch. KONAMI names the cause: V-Sync turned off together with an unlimited frame rate. How to fix it: black screen and other bugs.
Who you play as and what it is about
You play as Rose Belmont, the daughter of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades. It is 1499, 23 years after Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. Paris is burning and Dracula's castle appears in the heart of the city. Rose carries Dracula's curse in her right arm and fights with the Vampire Killer whip. Trevor appears in the story as a character. You can give Rose his look with the Trevor Style costume from the Midnight Edition.
It is a metroidvania in the style of Symphony of the Night: a large map of Paris and the castle, character levels and backtracking with new abilities. It is not a roguelike like Dead Cells, even though it was made by Evil Empire, the studio behind later Dead Cells updates. Defeated bosses are sealed into Rose's tarot cards as Arcana, which give spells and new moves. The full list: all bosses.
