The better version of Castlevania 3. I still find the difficulty to be frustrating if no save states are used since this uses an old-school life system and levels are fairly long.

The vertically-scrolling levels where you can die from falling down two pixels are incredibly annoying. It doesn't make sense that you just fall through the stairs, too. A lot of deaths can occur from enemy knockback, too. The difficulty doesn't always feel fair as a result.

The music is good. The branching path system is novel when considering how old this game is.
