Heroes, optimism, brightness, positivity, trust morality, friendship, bonds are concepts I absolutely hate. I prefer more mature concepts like anti heroes, protagonists who are also antagonists, genocide, depression, sadness, lose, betrayal, ptsd, moral relativism and grayness. That's probably why I like Castlevania more than Ufouria and other NES platformers tbh.
"It's just a brand identity it doesn't make a difference" Yeah no, a platformer being intended for people who want to make friends or people who want to be a badass will obviously make a difference in literally every aspect crying emoji

one of the best platformers on the NES. feels very adventurous and sincere but also delirious and aimless. my favourite enemy is a frog stood atop a pedestal who when jumped on, simply nods in acknowledgement, as if to taciturnly say "yes, you did that right. if you do it a second time, i'll be destroyed."

GAMER'S TIP: as soon as you unlock Freeon Leon, select them and try crouching for one of the greatest crawling animations ever put in a game.
