Hello everyone, Arek here. And today I have for you a boss run of a new Castlevania fangame. It is a short (around 3 hours for 100%) metroidvania based on CV1 and it is really good. Of course I could not ignore it and decided to try and fight these bosses. In the end I managed to defeat most of them using only basic whip and without taking damage, using subweapons or any enhancements for any of the abilities. There are two exceptions, though. I had to use enhanced holy water and crit card (gives every attack a critical strike chance) in the fight against Cthulhu. It seems to be the least thought out boss in this game. All his attacks come with little to no cooldown time and most of them are just a spam of randomly flying projectles with big hitboxes. It might be possible to perfect this fight without subweapons on 10000th try but I did not really want to spend that much time. Also I decided to use the crit card against Dracula to shorten the battle a little. It is possible to perfect him without it but the video would be much longer.
Imagine if Cthulhu was immune to subweapons and could damage Belmont just by meeting eye-to-eye long enough via depletion of newly appeared Sanity meter.

Love that chiptune rendition of the Castlevania 6800 SHARP Dracula theme. It’s such an underrated track with an extremely silly name: “You Goddamn Bathead”
@@gamalielmarquez9088 It wasn't. It was the original TRANSLATED name and that is a difference. IIRC the localizers wanted to make a sort of reference. It was originally called Legion in the JP ver of SotN.
Most bosses in this game have 500 HP, and Dracula himself has 666 HP. However, since there are five of them, the mummies have a total of 1100 HP! Kinda crazy that the fourth boss has more HP than the final boss.
I don't quite know why but Granfalloon / Legion looking like the Moon from Majora's Mask combined with the... _Orb_ from the Fellus Bolus short on youtube is tickling my scary bone.
A Refreshing Take in Metroidvanias that ACTUALLY uses some Metroid Gameplay (No Leveling, progress depends on Abilities, no cheesing buying 9 of the best healing item) currently unlocked Fire Whip and i am loving every second of it, what i love the most is that rather than trying to shoehorn SOTN graphics everywhere like most Simon Quest Revamps, this one takes a humble Pixel art that makes it feel like a Revamp of the first game and i really appreciate that, Complains? Movement feels kinda oily As the video shows, if you dont subweapon, the bosses are sponges Warp point is confusing, rather than picking only the points you unlocked yet chossing seem to aim to all of them even if you haven't found them, making choosing the spot weird I am not asking to be able to use all cards, but only three cards fells to little, maybe four would be nice, Five is a max, but only three limits the card choice AND MOSTR IMPORTANTLY, No hold A+B glitch to hop whipping while you get the orb like in OG castlevania (jk) Despite that, the game is a pretty great Fangame, Keep it up L4 Games P.S: Just a tip, buy the card that lets you recover your money where you died Shovel Knight style, because the first parts are HARD AS HELL, once you amass some pick ups and get used to the controllers the game is Hard-Fair, but the beggining's difficulty may throw some people out
Really smart that in dracula's final form they made him look part rat because he is also in some formats lord of rats! This game is awesome i download it and i will play it,cool job to the guys over this project!
Just beat this fangame today, and I agree, some of these take a bit too long to beat. I find Medusa to be specially annoying since, as you said, the game expects you to use everything you have; however, she's just the second boss, so you aren't precisely loaded with upgrades at that point of the game, and therefore, it ends up taking quite a while to beat her.
This is the key to speedrunning--beat the bosses without a hit to get the $1500 bonus. Or just buy the heavy boots, then you get the $1500 bonus no matter what.
So they had to use Creature in the Depths or the boss music from Castlevania Chronicles instead of Poison Mind or even Shudder from 64/Legacy of Darkness which would have fit better.
