Another really solid Classicvania game that follows closely in the footsteps of the originals. While not quite as visually impressive or well-designed as the high point of this style, Rondo of Blood, this is my second-favorite entry in the classic series, easily eclipsing its SNES counterpart Super Castlevania 4. The two characters make for a more-varied experience, and the boss fights and level design are pretty good all the way through. There is one part in the final level that is so poorly-thought out that it literally gave me a headache (the mirror room), but that's only 30 seconds of the game, so I can't really dock points for that. Overall, I recommend this to fans of the series, though its limited continues system makes it somewhat more brutal than its contemporaries. However, you can always just look up the appropriate passwords if you'd prefer a more pure Castlevania experience.
