A mean game for losers who want to waste their lives doing dumb shit like playing Haunted Castle. Did you know they released this on Switch? What the fuck? As dull as Vampire Killer was, that deserves to be remembered far more than this. Haunted Castle is like playing the original Castlevania except with sloppier controls and hit detection. In the first level alone there are numerous points where you're essentially forced to take damage because there's no way to predict incoming damage. Movement is so clunky that twitch reflexes won't get you anywhere either. Castlevania just doesn't translate to the arcade format. They kept the same progression and I can't help but realize this would just be infinitely better on a system that isn't designed to take money every time you want to play it. Also I really hate the North American promotional art, I'm sorry this is such a hateful review. 1/6
