Don’t be fooled by how little of an impact it left and how derivative it ultimately is; this is the best of the Castlevanialikes

Tried to give this game another chance since I felt maybe I was too hard on it but no, it’s even worse. It is glitchy to the point of being unplayable with Link being barely controllable, areas not loading correctly, and a statue from later in the game randomly showing up everywhere and blocking the way. Appalled at Nintendo for releasing a game in this state.

Brilliant deconstruction of violence in video games, portraying it as a monotonous and never ending cycle through meticulously crafted rout maps with constant reinforcements

The hit rates are not worth devoting any fucking energy to, fuck you if you have any strong opinion on them
