Sept. 2025

Right off the bat, if Metroidvanias are your thing, this is worth a play. Before I talk about the things the game does right, though, I want to get a few things out of the way: the game definitely screams "indie". There aren't any huge bugs or major problems with mechanics. However, there are a lot of little problems, most of which could be fixed with some independent play testing and a little more time in the oven. The movement speed always feels a tad slow. Jumping works, but it feels a little clumsy. The controls are clunky and difficult to get used to. Hit boxes are overly generous for both the player and enemies, which means that combat often feels comically easy or frustratingly difficult, but very rarely is it balanced. There are weird spelling and punctuation errors throughout. The voice-acted NPCs are painful to listen to, and their portraits look very amateurish compared to the rest of the game. Not being able to sell your old, worthless weapons is definitely a choice, too. In spite of all my complaints, though, everything is serviceable enough that I can usually forget the jank and have a good time, anyway. The puzzles aren't trivial, but they aren't frustratingly difficult, either. The difficulty curve is reasonable. There's a lot of thought put into the level design. The soundtrack doesn't have amazing bangers the same way SotN does, but it fits the atmosphere of the game and is never really distracting or annoying. All and all, it's obviously an homage to Symphony of the Night, but it feels a lot like the Temu version of SotN. As a Metroidvania back-scratcher, it's got the right shape and idea, but the edges are a little rough, there's a plasticky feel to the surface, and the paint job is a little sloppy. But at the end of the day, it'll scratch the itch just fine.

July 2025

Finally, we have one of these that feels more inspired by Order of Ecclesia (and I suppose Simon's Quest) than the million games in this genre that seem to have thought that SOTN was the peak so why bother trying anything else. That's not to say that this game is especially bold or original mechanically or aesthetically. However, it's still easily one of the best search em' ups that has been made in the last decade. Incredibly well-thought out map design keeps the pace steady. Very little required backtracking and when you do have to go back somewhere the movement options that were opened up makes it feel fast, fun and fresh. The slide alone is maybe the best ever slide in one of these. Huge distance and almost non-existent recovery make going anywhere a delight. It's a shame that there is no power up to make it do damage. The soundtrack is shockingly vast and almost all of the tracks are great. The sprite work is very charming and winningly detailed. Combat is surprisingly well-balanced for one of these (until you get to the castle). There are still god weapons and cheese strats, but it takes a little more work to find them than usual. Just a solidly constructed game on every level. I don't really have a lot of major gripes other than finding some hitboxes for certain bosses to be unclear and/or strange and that some of the platforming sections run a bit long. In closing, I want to say that I support the many instant kills in this and hope that even more or added in any future updates. Brings some La Mulana flavor that is sorely lacking in its peers. I suppose now is finally the time to go back and play Migami's fan games. Easy recommend for anyone who has had any amount of fun with a Castlevania game before.

June 2025

Just finished 100% game. Good : - If you like classic RPG Castlevania-like games and you're tired of the Hollow-Knight type it's perfect for you - Plenty of love for the players, with hidden areas, secrets, weapons. The more you play the more exciting the game gets. - Atmosphere is grim and well crafted with proper SFX and music Less Good : - Sometimes making the player die for no reason with a save point system is frustrating - Moving the character is sometimes a little too clunky at first but eventually you'll move smoothly - While open world being a key component of such games, sometimes you might find yourself being stuck and it can get frustrating. Overall 8/10 Castlevania. If you're a fan of SOTN and Aria type games don't hesitate a second. If you're more of the HK/Ender Lilies type of game you might find yourself having less fun.

I would normally play more before giving a review, but I think this game deserves a higher score. It is everything I ever wanted out of this kind of game. Castlevania 4 gameplay in a Castevania 2/Zelda 2 structure. It just feels really great to play. I strongly urge people to try the demo. I was going to skip this game based on the mixed reviews, but I'm so glad that I tried the demo first.

June 2025

Once again Migami Games understands completely what makes Castlevania great while still creating a game with it's own identity. I'm only 4 hours in and it's already blown away my original expectations from the demo.
