8 Eyes
2 out of 5. Not a Metroidvania. This forgotten classic-vania hits Steam, sharing its unique two-player gameplay and riddle antics with the modern generation. Recommended for game design students.
Blaster Master
2.5 out of 5. While a cult classic due to its innovative two-perspective design, it’s punishing design make it a bit unpalatable today, especially now that Blaster Master Zero exists.
Kid Dracula
This Review was done as part of our review of the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. What a weird game to end […]
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse
4.5 out of 5. A glorious evolution of the original classic, with multiple paths to choose from and several endings to see. Perhaps the best Classic-vania of them all.
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
2 out of 5. There are interesting design ideas in Simon’s Quest, but a ton of little niggles prevent it from being as good as it could have been.
Castlevania
4 out of 5. The start of the Castlevania series still holds up today as a cerebral linear platformer. It’s short, but its challenges will provide deep satisfaction.
