As the last Game Boy game, Castlevania Legends is a huge letdown. It isn't as bad as say Castlevania: The Adventure, but it’s more of a forgettable entry in the series.

The game stars Sonia Belmont, a female Belmont who storms Dracula's Castle to defeat the Count himself. This game acted as an origin story, beginning the Belmont clan as a whole, and is famous for being retconned by Koji Igarashi from the official timeline. As the story involves Sonia and Alucard making out together, it's probably for the best, all because it doesn't make sense story-wise.

The gameplay is more of the same as the Game Boy games, but new to Legends is Burning Mode. When activated, she becomes invulnerable to enemy attacks and her attack strength has been doubled for a brief period of time. I used this for all of the bosses, and they are pathetically easy to bring down with the mode activated. For the levels themselves, they are boring and a slog to get through. There are six levels and they go on for notoriously long than they should be. There are five items to collect based on the original sub-weapons, and these are required in order to get the good ending. There really isn't much to say honestly, so I'll wrap this review up.

Castlevania Legends isn't a bad game, it just isn't a memorable one, and as the last original Classicvania game, this is disappointing. The origin story is a mess, with boring level design, and mediocre music makes this game a forgettable experience.
