How it feels
A deliberately retro action platformer with tight controls, punishing difficulty, and classic gothic atmosphere.

What players say
Players overwhelmingly recommend this as a faithful throwback to NES Castlevania, especially Castlevania 3. They praise its pixel art, music, multiple characters and multiple endings, though a few find the platforming and combat dated, and opinions split on whether it is too easy or too punishing when losing teammates.
