Now this is my prime example of a quintessential videogame. It has EVERYTHING I want: Beautiful pixel art, outstanding music, replay value through alternate routes, and just the right length to not wear out its welcome.

Although I love Castlevania 4, Rondo is easily my favorite Classicvania, bar none. Richter is my Belmont of choice, I LOVE item crashes as a mechanic, Divine Bloodlines is my favorite theme in the series, and it has a style in its presentation that no other CV except SotN can match.

I really can't think of any negatives or anything else to say without sounding redundant. I could pop this motherfucker in any day of the week, any week of the year.
