Good game that throws back to the classic era of tough of nails action sidescrollers. There's a little of everything here: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Metroid, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Demon's Crest, and I'd even argue Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge in terms of the final boss. (reminiscent of the second to last boss of Belmont's Revenge but with an extra twist)
While I wouldn't say this is as good as say Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 in terms of a modern spin on a classic formula this is still a solid game that cuts a quick pace and has some truly beautiful looking cutscenes.
My biggest gripe with the game, however, is the jumping. It is rather finicky and with your sprite being as big as it is makes the platforming needlessly frustrating at times. This is also one of those games where you need to collect EVERYTHING which can be a dealbreaker for some.
Overall, though, I recommend this game. It doesn't overstay its welcome and gets the job done by being a solid throwback to a classic era.
