An excellent title and my favorite in the Castlevania franchise. It's a very challenging and thus rewarding game that doesn't waste too much of my time being a confusing maze. Boss fights are some of the best and music is top tier.

A bit broken and confusing in many aspects, some issues due to a poor translation which can be fixed with a patch. But either way it's still a pretty fun game.

A very tough game, but a very good one. This is a top tier title for the NES and of the early franchise.
