It was fun, but also quite confusing at times because of the backtracking you had to do. The game doesn't really tell you what to do apart from the NPCs (who were either lying or talking nonsense most of the time). I did use a guide after some time, which a lot of people recommended using because of how the game is, so at least I knew what to do overall. It was also significantly easier than Castlevania 1, having only 3 bosses that were all pretty cheeseable with Sacred Flame or Golden Dagger. Overall, an okay game that would've been better had it stuck with what made the first one great.

2.5/5 stars
