maybe the best ways to experience this game if you've beaten it like five times before, like me. not perfectly balanced But very much imbalanced in favor of the player which i appreciate. a really remarkable hack.

A pretty straightforward roguelike hack for my favorite Castlevania game?! It was a fun time, albeit short and a bit easy, but the hard mode is incredibly punishing for those who are seeking a little more of a trial. It's essentially shuffling the existing content, so it doesn't exactly innovate, but a lot of clever design work was done to keep this from feeling unstable. Definitely a recommend for folks who want an excuse to revisit the game for a bite-sized period.

It’s really good at what it is, it’s just not for me.
