Castlevania 2 is one of my favorite games for the NES. So, I was excited to hear there was a so-called sequel/hack of it. Although, the game does have some nice freshenss with it unique color scheme, new clues, and redesigned creatures, it still feels strikingly similar to the orignal game. The most interesting twist with this hack is that the "Daytime" is the more sinister time peroid for traveling. Overall, it looks and plays very close to the classic game with a few subtle twists. One thing that was strange to me was to the best of my knowledge there is no Flame whip which was an odd disappointment. Maybe, I just didn't discover it in its usual place??? I do feel like towards the end of the adventure there were some design choices that I didn't really like as a player.
