Probably one of the weirdest Castlevanias out there, which also makes it one of the most ineresting to play.
It's as much of a classicvania as a classicvania can be: linear, hard, and simple, just kill everything in your way, and be careful. I beat the arranged mode, since Simon femboy and the tech/electronic soundtrack (Simon's Theme and The Tower of Dolls 👌) were what drove me to play this, but I experimented a bit with the classic mode.
There's not much else to say, it is a very solid and competent remake of the first mission of our boy Simon, great both at its graphics and gameplay, I just almost had a rage quit on the medusa boss fight lol.

Um dos castles mais difíceis, é bizarro o tanto de desafio injusto que te destrói completamente, sem falar dos bosses que são insanos nesse jogo, morrer com 4 pauladas é sacanagem. E bom, é mais uma reimaginação de Castlevania 1, o mais fiel diga-se de passagem, a jogabilidade é bem padrão da série e ele não busca muito se diferenciar, o que não é um problema. A maior adição na minha visão é a famosa ervinha, que é de longe a melhor subweapon do jogo. O visual e ambientação são ótimos, padrão castle, particularmente não sou fã dos remixes do jogo, mas gosto MUITO das músicas novas, os efeitos de som são bem gostosinhos de ouvir.
Não lembro se a história se difere do original, mas não importa muito pra falar a verdade.
Agora, falando do modo arrange, ele é a experiência justa do original, o Simon tanka mais e não tem o knockback do original, o Simon tem um novo design que eu particularmente gosto mais, e as músicas foram refeitas. Gosto mais das músicas originais aliás. Recomendo? Sim, se gosta de um desafio jogue a versão original e aproveite, se quiser se divertir jogue o arrange.

Um bom remake de Castlevania 1, que parece ter pego partes de Super Castlevania 4 para compor um jogo sólido e bonito. Joguei a versão Arranged.
This was actually a great remake of castlevania this game deserves more attention than it gets.
これは悪いです
Provavelmente a versão definitiva de jogar o primeiro Castlevania. Você pega seu chicote com o novo visual do Simon e senta o pau no vagabundo do Drácula ao som de música pedrada. Precisa pedir mais?
Esse é o terceiro remake de castlevania 1, pegou tudo de bom para criar um ótimo jogo. Se tu não gosta do quão velho castle 1 é, jogue chronicles, se achou o modo arranged, jogue o modo original, ele simplesmente consegue agradar qualquer tipo de jogador, des de casual aos hardcore.
um remake honesto do primeiro jogo com varias coisas novas que facilitam bastante, possivelmente é o castlevania mais facil q eu ja joguei, nada demais, mas diverte
Ehhhhhhhhhh, so this is very much a castlevania 1 remake, it hits nothing for me and was very forgettable, only thing I remember was the music sounding odd.
This game sucks. Every stage is too damn long and the level design is not great.
LA PERFECTA OPCIÓN DE VIVIR EL INICIO DE LA SAGA
Castlevania fue un título único en su momento gracias a su temática, donde los otros plataformas y juegos del momento tenían ambientaciones de fantasía propias de cuentos o de anime y series infantiles Castlevania se enfocaba en un ambiente de terror gótico inspirado en las películas del momento. La momia, la medusa, Frankenstein, o el mismo hecho de que Drácula sea el villano principal.
La aventura de Simon Belmont es un clásico que todos hemos oído hablar alguna vez y que ha sido reeditada y relanzada una y mil veces, entre ellas se destaca esta versión lanzada para PS1.
Este es un Remake completo del primer Castlevania donde todas las fases del juego de NES están replicadas al detalle, pero con un control algo más cómodo e items nuevos, lo que lo hace la mejor versión si lo que deseas es disfrutar de su esencia clásica en lugar de vivir la versión renovada de Super Castlevania IV.
Por no hablar de que posee algunos extras interesantes como una entrevista al productor de la saga, Koji Igarashi, y una galería de arte para disfrutar de los dibujos de la artista Ayami Kojima hechos para este juego y para el legendario Symphony of the Night.

this is one of those games i probably couldve beaten without save states but just for the sake of not really feeling like repeating some annoying areas i just ended up using them. overall though, pretty solid classicvania. definitely not the best but not bad either. i was honestly expecting it to just be a castlevania 1 remake entirely and in some areas it definitely was, especially level 1, but as i kept playing it felt fresh enough and i had a pretty enjoyable time. just the same good classicvania gameplay with a little bit of polish, reminds me a lot of super castlevania 4 but not as freeing in terms of things like whip swinging. some parts were pretty not fun to play through, mainly the clock tower level and the one level with the section where you have to climb up and fight all the little toy enemies, and there are definitely some other things that sucked but they were pretty minor so they didnt come to memory right away. also the ost went kinda crazy on this one?? like castlevania is obviously known for good music but this one was just different because it didnt really feel like a castlevania ost, more like a later megaman/megaman x entry ost, but still really really good. i could probably see myself going back and listening to some of these tracks
Some fun jank, some bad jank, all good music.
Hard as balls but very satisfying to beat.
The clock tower almost drove me insane, but after beating it and reaching the final level that had an epic version of Simon's theme it felt incredible.
I'm not joking when i say that's one of the most satisfying moments i had while playing a game, all my motivation and hope returning to my body after recognizing the melody in the first few seconds was just... special.

looks lovely but way too cheaply difficult. had me missing SotN's breeze
Eu prefiro..... Eu prefiro o redesign do Simon...
the soundtrack makes me cum but everything else is okay
This is basically a collection of what is basically an alternative version of the classic Castlevania 1 (so basically a remake) of a japanese computer version.
I beat the "remaster" (so the 2001) version, but by far of what I've played they are identical on the gameplay/momentum/etc.
It's ok still, but not as great as the og king.

Fairly short and has that NES times gameplay where if you don't know what to do you will die the first time in each level with the exception of thebeginning levels.
Each moment of this game is like a vertical slice of itself. Incredible game-per-second rate.

it's aight
Pseudo-remake of Castlevania 1. For the most part, I'd say it's the definitive version of it. It's surprisingly difficult, even by Castlevania standards, but if you look hard enough, there's always something to help you out (Floor chicken).
The graphics and music were unmatched for Castlevania up to this point. Glad to have played it.

Shit remake. It's just as clunky and dated as the original. The controls are stiff and unresponsive. The level design seems to be worse, though. I don't remember there being so much dull enemy spam.
WTF did they do to the music?

Now I know why people like this series so much.
Spectacular Boss Fights and an even better soundtrack.

Really fun game, red haired Simon is cool as fuck and I enjoyed this a lot. Would like to say that I think the clock tower is fucking annoying lol, she wolf is such a hater tier boss character chucking shit at me.
Games honestly not as hard as I thought it'd be either, which was nice. Dracula was cool as fuck to fight. Good game.

Not sure if me playing tons of other CVs before this had any effect, but I could swear Chronicles was a lot harder!
Played it all the time on my modchipped PS1 lmao, I think it was my first Classicvania. And not a bad one to start with!
Chronicles isn't exactly a remake of CV1 per se; more like, a "best of Simon Belmont" sorta deal, with elements from CV1 and CV4 showing up here. You got stages straight from 1, one stage from 4, and some original ones.
Simon can whip in 5 directions, sadly missing 3 angles from CV4, but at least we have VERTICAL KNOCKBACK! GLORY BE! This alone makes Chronicles a much smoother experience compared to a lot of its more celebrated brothers.
That said, the werelady on the Clock Tower stage kicked my ASS to oblivion. Dracula should turn more girls into wolves cause that fight was probably the most fast paced non-final boss so far in this retrospective.
Originally a X6800 game, Chronicles may not look as sharp as SotN, but it has a very gritty and spooky atmosphere. It even has some really cool visual effects, like the flowery field that crumbles, revealing that it was actually a painting all along! It's nothing to scoff at.
The arranged soundtrack is NUTS though, god damn. Disco Vampire Killer, Thrashard in The Cave, Wicked Child, Moon Fight(there it is again!) and the Load BGM, all amazing tunes. They were INSPIRED arranging these tracks, I'll tell you what.
Chronicles is a good time! Tough as usual, but surprisingly fair.

Absolutely baller soundtrack, really cool presentation and atmosphere in some sections as well. Has some problems but it's a fun time.
Versione PS1 della versione Sharp, questo titolo ha sia il gioco originale che quello migliorato della PS1. Il titolo di per sè è un ottimo Castlevania, mi ha divertito molto. Le musiche sono eccezionali, la grafica molto curata, per l'epoca.
