The very first handled Castle Vania game and...
Yikes this game is terrible.
The classic formula is brought back and with it is every problem this style brings times 100. The control is unbelievably stiff and unresponsive due to the amount of lag, the enemies are way too nimble and platforming asks for way more than you are realistically cape-able of. There's no sub-weapons, so you are relying entirely on the whip, which can be upgraded as usual throughout the level. But for some baffling reason, you lose a stage of power every time you get hit! And the lowest power whip barely has any range and pitiful attack power so it sucks when your stuck with this.
There's only 4 stages but they are all awful. While some gimmicks are fairly unique, they are implemented so poorly that it takes away any interest I had in the game. I mean I know it's a very primative system, but it's no excuse for how this game is designed, constantly forcing you to take damage and lose any chance of surviving the bosses. To be honest untill the final boss, they really aren't that bad, but if your whip is at its weakest you will stand no chance.
The final boss is extremely cheap, and is easily the worst l've faced so far... I mean my god.
The graphics are poor by the gameboys standards and I can't say I remember the music, god get it away, this is easily one of the worst games I have ever played - 1/10

Tremendamente limitado em vários aspectos da gameplay - especialmente nas partes relacionadas a movimentação do personagem.
Mas não tem como eu deixar de mencionar a quantidade de ideias interessantes que tem perdidas no jogo. É uma base bruta, mas que foi bem melhor trabalhada na sua sequência, reaproveitando e polindo várias dessas ideias.

Slow, clunky and lacking most of the Castlevania charm. Just straight up bad and annoying.

Castlevania Series Ranked
Castlevania: The Adventure pushes the original Game Boy to its limits but ultimately falls short. While the atmosphere and music try to capture the essence of the series, the game is marred by sluggish controls and frustrating difficulty. Christopher Belmont's whip feels weak and unresponsive, and the severe graphical limitations make platforming treacherous, often resulting in unfair deaths. Only the most dedicated Castlevania fans should brave this adventure.
Чувствуется, как огрызок от ванильной кастлвании. Нет саб-оружия, саймон очень медленный. Теряешь апгрейд хлыста при получении урона, очень странное решение. Уровней всего 4, но все равно не рекомендую вам.
Feels like a rip off of vanilla castlevania. No sub weapons, simon is very slow. Lose the whip upgrade when taking damage, very strange decision. There are only 4 levels, but still not recommended to you.
