Personally, I wouldn't want a new game plus feature at this point since I like earning xp from fights. However, I do think its rather too easy to max out your character's level, , and that there should either be levels after level 10, or, if making Elyon stronger at that stage would decrease the challenge, some other reward gained for fighting enemies once your maxed level, EG blood vials, quests to kill a certain number of given monster types, special items that drop from enemies etc.
As to Dracula, I don't mind Dracula being the bad guy as in Castlevania and half a hundred other games and films, but I do hope that Hell Hunter tweaks the actual Dracula legend a little somewhat rather than just going with the "oh look, its vlad Tepes Dracula who was this nasty Transilvanian ruler who became a vampire!"
Btw, interesting fact, the real historical Vlad Tepes whom Bram stoker based the vampire on, is actually a really interesting character, and for all the impaling and rather draconian ruling, he actually had a code of honour, was a Christian knight timpla, and actually was seen as a local hero for his defence of his Kingdom against the very powerful ottoman empire. Even the Brutality was largely there to scare his opponents into taking him seriously, since he had a lot of very powerful lords who did actually rebel against him, forcing him to flee his own country, then retake it again.
His brother was even fostered in the Tirkish court, so you literally had the two brothers crossing swords with each other across the battle field. There's quite a fantastic Doctor who audio drama entitled Son of the dragon, (a purely historical one), all about him,which even suggests how he became the focus of the vampire mythos.
Not that I'm sure how any of this should fit directly into the Hell Hunter universe, but still I would be interested to see a work of vampire fiction go beyond the usual dracula is standard evil vampire.
Btw, I also notice that in Hell Hunter, he is only ever referd to as "Dracula", never as Vlad tepes dracula or count Dracula, so whether this is even the same count Dracula from the Bram stoker novel, who was supposed to be the historical Vlad tepes returned as a vampire, is itself an interesting question, and one I hope will be answered in future games.
@Mata, once your familiar with the game, its enemies and the combat system, Dracula doesn't seem quite as much an impossibility, which is why its only recommended to try the Dracula fight after finishing the rest of the game.
Beware the spoilers! here come the spoiling spoilers of spoilage! don't read further if you haven't fought the special bosses.
I probably shouldn't mention this, since likely someone will beat Dracula before I do, given that at the moment I don't want to try starting a new game and risk interfering with my lady's save game or hitting the wrong menu option. However, Dracula actually seems to follow a very similar pattern to the mimic boss, three attacks, then an attack with a special, so the pattern is simply dodge, dodge the special, then dodge and hit back three times (I can usually get two swings in for each attack), then dodge, dodge the special, and repeat.
Your room for error isn't large because you don't have many blood vials at that stage, and two or three hits will deplete your health quickly, so its a long battle, but not an impossible one I think if you've already killed the mimmick boss and have your reflexes used to the pattern, indeed I only used one blood vial with my fight with the mimic, as compared to 5 or 6 with the mist demon, and three or four with the prisoner, and in the prisoner fight it was mainly because annoyingly her central attacks seem just slightly to the left of centre of the stereo field, meaning I tended to hit the wrong direction by accident.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
