Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi

You can see from my gaming time that I enjoyed this one. This is a very good 'Castlevania-like'. Bela Lugosi is not in it very much, sadly, but this does not affect the quality of the game in any way. The pixel art is good, the music works perfectly. The only slight issues I found were that there could have been either a tutorial, or a manual for the game as it took quite a bit of time to figure out how best to play the it. There also is not that much enemy variety. These are really small gripes and certainly did not massively affect my enjoyment of the game. The controls are good as is the overall feel of the game. I like the placement of the secrets within each level and there is plenty of replayability in not only locating all the secrets, but also trying out the other character, trying the game deathless or even the harder levels. The developers have done a good job with this title, It has a good retro feel and a ton of charm.

Sadly, Bela Lugosi only appears for the equivalent of two frames-worth of animation. Even the final boss, Dracula, doesn't look like him. So if you're buying the game for the whole Bela Lugosi gimmick, save your money. Now the good news: the game itself is straight-up amazing. I would not have given it a second look if not for the Lugosi connection, and because of that would have missed out on this gem. Good level design, each one capped off with a boss fight (and the bosses are pretty good). So, not the most honest marketing, but it turns out well in spite of that.

great game! highly recommended.

Una piccola perla, veramente bello che ricorda i vecchi Castlevania, Il cameo finale di Bela Lugosi è una chicca

A gem of the "Classic Castlevania" genre. Tough but not too hard, varied levels and does a great job of slowly expanding the enemies found as you go on, to keep things moving forward. There are times when you miss a jump nine-hundred times in a row but ~That's Castlevania~.

Remember Castlevania Bloodlines? Take John and Eric, and place them onto Castlevania IV. Boom, insta-success

I like the pixel art and the style of this game, but it is kind of boring and slow. Not a huge variety of enemies either.

[h3]三個小時的遊戲體驗，回味了數不清的經典[/h3] 本作有著許多致敬「初代惡魔城」的元素，這使我非常喜歡這款遊戲。不過 (在普通難度下) 它並沒有初代惡魔城設計得如此困難，遊玩起來在任何層面都相當符合現代玩家的口味，這一點讓現代玩家也可以很好的體驗當初惡魔城經典的魅力。 [b]●遊玩時間[/b]: 3~4個小時 [b]●遊戲流程[/b]: 一共有12個關卡可供遊玩 [b]●遊戲難度[/b]: 遊戲本身具有一定難度，具有難度選項 [h3]▼優點[/h3] [b]+具備兩位角色可供遊玩[/b] [b]+非常棒的操作手感[/b] [b]+怪物設計與關卡安排優良，不再是陷阱的恐怖大於怪物[/b] [b]+適宜的跳跳樂設計[/b] [b]+回復HP道具給得很寬鬆，存檔點位置復活設定很親民[/b] [b]+探索道具藏匿點安排妥當，並且可以學習新技能，探索反饋良好[/b] [b]+後期具備驚心動魄的Boss戰[/b] [b]+優秀的8bit風的BGM[/b] [h3]▼缺點[/h3] [b]+普通難度下前期Boss戰太弱了玩起來沒有緊張感[/b] [b]-有些台階跳躍會有點古怪，上台階會瞬移一下，視覺上有點突兀，不過整體不太影響[/b] [h3]■總結[/h3] 整體來說這款遊戲真的是非常優秀，我已經很久沒有遊玩到怪物的震攝力能夠與陷阱匹敵的遊戲了，並且遊戲依循漸進的難度真的讓玩家非常的有成就感。 只可惜前期的Boss戰設計上有點太簡單了，玩起來並不是這麼有緊張感，還好後面的Boss很強有把局面給扳回來一些。 喜歡復古風格與惡魔城類型遊戲的玩家絕對不容錯過，這款遊戲真是太好玩了。

Ностальгический путь серии Кастелвания продолжен, Карпатская ночь достойный платформер, где очень силен дух первых кастлваний. На нормале я прошел с удовольствием, почилил и был полностью удовлетворен-а потом решил зайти на уровень сложности "слабочек" и мальца вспотнул) Тут первый раунд как последний на нормале тут и противники гуще и беспощадней, так и сами босы начинают божить. Архитектура раудов усложняется и становится крайне требовательней к реакциям игрока (особенно когда вы желаете пройти раунд без смертей) Безусловно хочется продолжение данной серии. За уровень библиотека отдельное "спасибо" разрабам и будьте вы прокляты)

This is just a very very cheap classicvania style game that juts doesn't quite feel right, from jumping to hit detection to UI. Not worth it unless you really like this style of game
