What players say
Really solid game , 9/10 from me. Also it's made by Inti Creates, one of my favorite developers (team behind the megaman zero series on GBA), so i knew it'd be a good game. Highly recommended!
Fun game, not a metroidvania in the regular sense as you need to restart each stage from the start to get collectibles but there are sub weapons that act as movement upgrades and are needed to access alternative paths you otherwise can't get to. A bit annoying that it don't track what items are left on each map, so a guide to use as a checklist is heavily recommended. It feels a little dated when it comes to QoL but...
OVERALL ARBITRARY SCORE: 7/10 "Solid! You can pass some time and walk away without regrets, just like playing a childhood retro game on a ROM" *Gameplay* ~ Quite enjoyable, it played really smoothly and felt like it could've been part of earlier Castlevania IP, so it's a faithful experience for people who are familiar with the series. Getting the platinum shouldn't be a problem at all, easy to get even without any...
