I'm not even sure where to begin here. Do I talk about the extremely bad level design, the garbage final boss, the actively awful story, or the mid soundtrack with only one particularly standout song? I don't know, but this game is terrible at everything it attempts. It's a lot easier than The Adventure, so it doesn't personally piss me off as much as that game, but I honest to god just might say it's even worse.
Another damn good installment. It further improves the controls by getting rid of the stiff jump, the levels are pretty typical CV fare but are fun to play (especially with the addition of multiple paths for special items), and the story is very neat to see...sad it isn't canon tho.
Oh well, I still reccomend this highly. It's either on par with or just below Belmont's Revenge for me.

This was a pretty fun but short Castlevania game for the Game Boy. I don't think it was bad by any means, in fact I think the game can be pretty forgiving with checkpoints, but it's also a game that probably hasn't aged so well but that's all due to the constraints of the time the game was developed. Still think it was pretty good and fun if you wanna kill a couple of hours.
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.
