The worst of the Metroidvania Castlevanias by far in my opinion. I gave up playing this one towards the end because I just wasn't having fun. There are three major problems with this game: Sluggish movement, Low drop rates for the cards, and obnoxious enemies. There are romhacks to fix the first two problems, if you need to play this one for completion. If you want a good Metroidvania with a whip-wielding protagonist, try Portrait of Ruin or just playing Symphony of the Night with Richter (though you need to beat the main story to do that). Not sure about Harmony of Dissonance, I need to replay that one to see.

Is the game called Mullet Mad Jack or Mullet MadJack? The world may never know.
Anyway I liked this one. The 80s/90s anime aesthetic is on point, even down to clumsy attempts at social commentary and being "deep". It's kinda got Blood Dragon vibes which I love. There's this cute virtual unboxing thing in the game which makes me hope for an actual physical release, though that likely won't happen. The gameplay is simple yet addictive in an arcade-y way with satisfying weapons and melee. Once I got the infinite-ammo revolver I never used anything else. I had to beat the story mode on Easy because I'm terrible at video games. I can barely get through 3 floors on endless mode. Sigh.
