Castlevania: SotN 4+

SOTN undoubtedly one of the best platformers made and Alucard being the most detailed charater sprite on a 2D platformer, this game sets the benchmark for games.

In short, my PSP plays it better than my air which should be faster.. poorly ported and its clear its an emulation.

Detailed review :

This port from whichever version is good but it lacks details. It plays poorly on my Air 1st gen, and while its an old device it still has a very capable processor.

Buttons can be a bit annoying and i havent spend a great deal of time analysing the controller responsiveness it may appear on first glance that it may need some improvement .

The soundtrack is different, why not have both.

An update hasnt been released for a year now and that is indicative to me that they dont care about any issues. Take our money and run, dissapointing.

Visually, very pixelled. To be honest, id rather custom play screen area and a reserved area for the buttons. As some other reviewers have cited, the porting lacked visual improvements so there is that. I dont remember Alucard being so pixelled on my PS3 store release.

Seriously, put some more effort into the app. Dont be that dev that does updates very rarely if at all. Its like my Swann homesafe camera app, they release different app names so they dont have to put the effort in and any negative review doesnt carry over to their new app.

On the iPad 7th gen, there are no weird borders. Image scaling seems right, with no weird ripples from non integer scaling. It controls well, using the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+. Four stars and not five because it doesn’t have the original PlayStation English audio as an option. While I’m sure the improved translation and voice acting are objectively better, and more accurate, I have nostalgia for the original voice acting, and wish it were an option.

First of all the game is just as good as my childhood memories. However it has three problems and please fix it ASAP.

First: when ever I use the shield rod to combine the shields, it works perfectly well, but after the player change the shield rod back to some other swords, the shield lost the previous combination functions, please fix that, mainly talking about the Alucard shield.

In addition, the keyboard or buttons what you like to call is not flexible!

Finally why don’t separate the bat wolf and mist. Combine them in one is lame. And why do we need the skill instant button, one of the biggest joyful is to swirl the flexible button to creat the skills.

In conclusion, change the numb button and make the shield rod steady no matter what other weapon took its position. Then this game will summon all the old players back, and you are going to earn a big fortune!
