This would get another whole star if the movement speed were just doubled. Other than that it's pretty mediocre.

It's better and worse than 2 previous titles at the same time
Overall, it's worse though
But at least the game is really pretty and sounds really good for GameBoy

A bad game and probably the worst Castlevania game I've played so far. At least its short.

Castlevania Series Ranked

Played on Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online, but only for a little while. I tried it because it wasn't included in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, and went in with low expectations; while Belmont's Revenge was a step up from The Adventure, this was less fun than both of them. I didn't bother finishing the first stage, and have no intention of coming back to this game.

It's got that janky jump and weird hit detection of all these mid tier early action-platformers, the levels are very straightforward (minus some stupid trap dead ends), and the game is over really quickly. But there are some solid sprites and good music for this era of game.

Objetivamente melhor que o primeiro e pior que o segundo. Sonia é chad.
