CASTLEVANIA MARATHON- 2/22
Not great, I gotta be honest. While I can appreciate the attempt to branch out into a more non-linear format that would later become the series standard, the game is overly cryptic which makes it really inaccessible without a guide (very common for nonlinear NES games) and lacks the compact and brilliant level design of its predecessor. The music still goes incredibly hard though- you could make a case for Simon's Quest having a better OST than the original and I wouldn't blame you. Still, Bloody Tears and Dwellings of Doom don't make the game good,unfortunately.
Next- Castlevania: The Adventure
