What players say

Players say it is a solid retro-style platformer that pays homage to classic Castlevania, especially Dracula's Curse. It offers branching paths, multiple characters, and high replay value, but opinions split on whether it is better or worse than the first game. Some find the difficulty punishing even on casual mode, and a few report optimization issues like slowdown.
