Here's a review in English for ya.
While I do like certain aspects of this game, it's a complete butchery of Castlevania.
1. Characters: For now you have Alucard, Simon, Maria, Charlotte and Shanoa, with Soma and Jonathan to come (judging by the game's banner). All characters are unlocked through gameplay so that's a plus. Their models look like a PS1 model though, so that evens out the plus.
2. Gameplay: This is what bothers me the most. Characters feel incredibly heavy, even the ones who are supposed to be "mobile" and gone are the clever level design that challenges you like the original Castlevanias. Levels are now straight forward with some baby level of platforming and weak af enemies. As long as you have the stats, the game is basically "walk right, press attack". Characters have skills, but why bother when your normal attacks are just as effective. Oh, and did I mention that this is not a Metroidvania.
3. Music: All of the music in this game comes straight from the console releases (they're trying to hit that nostalgia without remembering to make a good game).
This is basically Konami's poor attempt at nostalgia bait. There are a plethora of greater platformers on mobile ready for download, or better yet, emulate the console installments of the series. Get this game only if you like the Castlevania skin on a pretty mediocre mobile platformer.
