pretty ok small indie game with cool monster designs

There's a lot of negatives in this game. The AI is incredibly stupid, The Boss attacks reset if you just hit them once so they can't even protect themselves, they take up 4 times more space than they actually should on the map, and everything gets very bland and repetitive really quickly. However, the art style, and satisfaction coming from jumping and moving around in this game is really great. Very creative and solid idea, but poorly executed.

It's interesting to see the translation of the subject matter into a DOOM-engine title, but the game is so incredibly samey, even for its short runtime. The boss sprite design is fantastic, though

A short and sweet little Castlevania-inspired Doom mod by the same creator who made Shrine 1 and 2. Just like Shrine 1 this one has wonderful sprite art and atmosphere in a game that feels like more of a demo for what's to come than the full realization of its ideas.

Still, a fine little single sitting game. You can beat this thing in under an hour.

Short and a bit frustrating but with great vibes. Beautiful boss spritework.

A short & sweet classic Castlevania-inspired romp. Your main weapon is your axe, that has a more forgiving range than I would have imagined. Only food restores your health, hearts are shared ammo for your throwing knives and sole gun (if you can find it that is!). The music is pretty nice and groovy, especially the song used in the Armory level. This can be easily beaten in less than 30 minutes, so there's no reason NOT to give it a shot.
