I was pleasantly surprised with this game. I played Bloodstained and thought it was ok. For context, I’m a huge Castlevania fan and love the series. I saw this was on sale and picked it up. It’s fun. I’ve longed for more of the old school Castlevania games and this game definitely scratches that itch. The sprite work is great, the characters control well and the levels are fun. The music bops but not as hard as Castlevania. This game is a prequel to Bloodstained and tells the story of the characters and how they met. If you love old school gaming or are a Castlevania fan , you’ll love it. If not, you might just think it’s ok.
