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.
