This game is rough. I played the original on the turbo grafx. It’s fantastic. Crisp graphics awesome music and it’s fun. This is not that. It’s a port. But a poorly done port. The sprite work is very beautiful. The soundtrack is ok. It’s snes versions of the games original soundtrack and they are alright. The backgrounds are ugly. The level layouts are hard but not because of challenge or clever layouts. It’s lazy slapped together and cheaply made. The hit detection is clunky when hit enemies. The knock back is horrendous for a Castlevania game, which is saying a lot. The last boss is one of the hardest cheapest things I have ever played and only because of cheap level design and crappy hit detection on the last boss. This game is not fun, good, or worth playing. Play the original.
