The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night and we finally have a new mainline 2D Castlevania game almost 18 years after Order of Ecclesia. F to my vampire hunting brothers and sisters who didn't make it to see the franchise get resurrected. I hope this means we eventually get a 1999 Demon Castle War game starring Julius Belmont. For those having trouble starting the game: Lock your monitor's refresh rate to 60hz. Launch the game. Switch your refresh rate back to whatever you want after the game launches. And DO NOT turn OFF Vsync or the game will not launch again. Devs, please fix these issues. Unfortunately it is the same stuff that was in the demo.

Black screen and can't play the game. Apparently this happens when you turn off vsync after playing for the first time. How does that not get past QA?
