This game is soooo awesome. If you like the NES Castlevanias and haven’t played Bloodlines (USA) / New Generation (UK) / Vampire Killer (JA) you’re missing out
I dig it a lot! Unfortunately, I am a bit of a scrub (not super good at it), but I can easily see it becoming one of my favorite Castlevanias if I keep giving it a shot.
@GamingWithClover use save states. These games are hard mostly because they dont allow you enough time to practice the parts that give us trouble forcing you to replay entire sections of levels that chip away at your patience and enjoyment of the game
