Folks were saying that Grimoire of Souls is basically a mobile port of another title in the series, Harmony of Despair, but we are not really sure being Castlevania virgins… Ok stop throwing eggs our way! The biggest difference might be the loot box (or gacha) system, where players draw for main weapons, sub … [Read more...] about – Brief adventure in soft-launch test of new mobile platformer
