Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but hold on! It's not even that good.
Castlevania Legends has a cool protagonist design and a nice soundtrack.
... that's it. Everything else feels uninspired, unbalanced (since the first power-up you get is literally the best one) and mostly out of touch with what made the other GB Castlevania games good. There's no enemy variety and even if there was, they all walk and fly towards the player as their mastermind plan. There are forks in the levels, but you can be locked out of the good ending if you choose the wrong path even once! I love being locked out as soon as I start the game!
Adding that the gameplay itself is ok at best, sluggish and tedious at worst, it can be seen why Legends isn't beloved by many. I tried making it work, but it felt more like a roadtrip distraction, as it maybe it was meant to be, compared to an actual videogame.

What a shitload of fuck. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!??!!? The only redeeming quality is the music, which can be pretty good at some points (best Bloody Tears remix don't @ me) Cuz of this, I was going to rate it the same as Adventure, but then I remembered the misogyny and some of the worst level design I have ever seen in a game.

No soc gran fan dels Castlevania de la Game Boy, però crec que este és encara pitjor que els altres.
El tema d'agafar objectes col·leccionables per al final vertader no està mal de per sí, que per a fer-ho toque menejar-se per escenaris lineals amb rutes alternatives fàcil de confondre amb les normals, és una idea HORRIBLE.
El major interès d'haver-lo acabat era fer "check", la veritat.

I knew from the moment I saw Alucard show up in this nothing game, starting to spout words to a character he never mentions ever again in the series, this game was definitely someone's fan-fiction. Like there's no other way to explain it, no offense to the character herself, I think its great that we have a female protagonist after all these sweaty buff guys, but she really fucked herself over by having a Gameboy game of all things, as we know already those games aren't the greatest, and neither is this one.
What a joke.
They really messed up on this one it should have been a great game considering it came so late in the gameboy lifespan, my main complaint about this game is how slow and sluggish I will say this it is better than adventure but that is not saying much Belmonts Revenge was the only good Castlevania on the original gameboy.
Genuinely insane level of fanfiction
No es tan mal juego! Tomando en cuenta que era de consola portatil con limitaciones. Lo encontré divertido. Una loca historia aunque no sea canon. En su diseño de niveles encontramos muchos caminos que solo nos llevaran a encontrar reliquias e items. Fué un buen intento.
