It is a new take on the Classicvania linear style. Mig Perez has been heavily modifying the engine of his game Castlevania The Lecarde Chronicles to build the engine for Rise of Castlevania. It has many features from past CV games that have never appeared in 1 game together. It also has many new features that have never appeared in a Castlevania game at all.
It is also a reboot of the CV universe, sporting all new characters and a new storyline.
This game is made of all new artwork, music and sound.
