This was a first of many for me.
First NES game i finished, first Castlevania i finished and first Konami game i finished.
I was enjoying the game a lot up until the point i got to the grim reaper. That fight alone made me go from "Huh that is a intersting little dated game to experience" to "HOLY SHIT LET ME BE DONE WITH THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE GAME ALREADY YOU STUPID FUCKING BOSS" really quickly.
Might change my rating latter after my rage goes away, but other then experiencing how it all began for castlevanias (which ironicaly this game can't be categorized as such since it is just a bunch of sequential levels) or pure nostalgia, i don't see any value in playing this in 2024 when there is so many more greater games in the genre now.
Fuck the reaper.
