General Castlevania Discussion / Re: So... why the hell was The Castlevania Adventure so damn broken?

Maegawa-san graduated from university eight years ago and immediately joined Konami as a programmer. It was here that he programmed the Game Boy version of Dracula Densetsu (Castlevania), a game he is quick to point out was "not very good"
Judging by the release timelines and the really inconsistent scope / quality in their games at the time, it would seem that 89 was a pretty bad year to be developing at Konami if you weren't on something like Gradius 3 or Dracula's Curse.

Hence why Legends was such a disappointment other than the promotional art and some of the compositions.

-3 Relics can be equipped. No armor pieces apparently.
-the stats are seemingly only ATK and DEF.
-7 weapon categories. It looks like there's 4 weapons in each of them, starting with "Ordinary" weapons, for a total of 28 weapons. Swords, greatswords, whips, rapiers, lances/spears, fighting gloves, and short sword + shield.
-A deeper look into Arcana tarot cards. Only one of them can be equipped at a time. There's a perk system and subquests (for example defeat a number of enemies in a certain way) to gain points and upgrade those spells. Each defeated boss will grant you the card, a spell, a progression/movement ability, and often their weapon too.-You don't start with the Vampire Killer, that's in Trevor's pocket of course. It's not clear yet why Rose and her father go separate ways because the intro isn't shown in full.
I'm not sold on the gameplay, having lots of weapon options is cool but is there more depth to the system? Are the 3 relics enough to make different "builds"? Both in systems and in gameplay it looks more similar to Blasphemous I and II than Igavanias.
The writing seemed passable to me, but it is worrisome that not even 2 minutes in and they are already depicting the Bishop as greedy. I hope the Church isn't the villain or a negative force like in the Netflix series.There are also some worries that Rose might be the only child Trevor had, which would break the Lament of Innocence family tree, but we don't know yet.

It took me 20 years to beat it (in 2025!). Even then, I felt I mostly got lucky, not that I ever mastered or figured out the game. And even all that was only ever enabled by save state scumming.
What. The Hell. Was Up. With this game.
