How it feels
It feels like a frantic, old-school run through demonic dungeons with hand-drawn visuals and a dark, Lovecraftian atmosphere.

What players say
Players say it feels like classic Castlevania with faster mobility and a Gradius-style upgrade system. The difficulty is high, especially with bosses after stage 4, and one hit can reset your upgrades. There is strong praise for the controls, art, and heavy metal soundtrack.
