The whole game will be released! All the six levels of the classic game reimagined + more (I'm working on the "extra stuff" atm  ;D )

Yeah i've posted it in the previous page  ;)


In the regular difficulty modes, only the Castlevania 1 enemies appear, but if you choose the Blood Moon difficulty, you can experience the game again with a new set of enemies taken from games such as Rondo Of Blood and Symphony Of The Night!

I've never been a big fan of FPS games, but this looks damn fine.
Can't wait to try it out.

It'll be kinda like playing CV64 again except in first person.

^^ Hey now!  It was at least "pretty good" for its time, or at least LoD was (which is basically the same game). ;-P

Yeah I don't mind CV64/LoD either. I've finished the game several times now so it is playable.

Name one better 3D CV game than 64/LOD...
Oh wait, it doesn't exist.

They weren't shit btw, my opinions aside, online reviews show otherwise.

That's a very selective response.
It doesn't matter what your standards of "good" are or whether you dislike a specific game. People often dislike good games and like bad games, it's called an opinion. I accept opinions.

However to call a game 'shit' to everyone else when it's been reviewed by reputable reviewers and given an average score of around 70%+ is incredibly biased. It's not that you don't appreciate or like the game that I personally dislike, it's that lazy and inarticulate opinion of "Nah... It's shit" or reputable reviews "doesn't make it good". Saying you don't like the game is one thing, telling everyone else it's shit is a different story.

The games broke many a convention of their time and for 3d games in general, they were engaging and had more of a horror factor that the original CV games had than any other 2d/ 3d CV game of that Era, they nailed the music and atmosphere, presented a decent challenge factor and actually had good characters and character development (better than a lot of CV games) and despite the camera being funny the games for their time were still playable with, the gameplay which was most true to 2d lineage of classic Castlevania. You would be hard pressed to find another Castlevania game that achieved all of the above, albeit in 3d.

Being selective about responses is not assisting your opinion to look any more valuable to anyone reading this forum.


OP, if you can complete the whole game by Halloween, hats off to you.

New Simon's Destiny stream by Mike, this time he's playing the final build of the game!
(Obviously it's the whole thing so if you don't want spoilers and prefer to wait for the official release in two days, don't watch it)

OP, if you can complete the whole game by Halloween, hats off to you.

Don't rush the man.

Also CV64 IS shit and it is definitely the WORST of the 3D games. LoD sits right next to it.

I just played it a couple weeks ago. Still shit. Always will be shit. Even glitched out on me.

Shit controls, shit camera, shitty designed combat for 3D space, and sometimes really shitty music.
