Castlevania: Belmont's Curse review - inspired by great ideas, but doomed by questionable execution
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse offers ambitious Metroidvania gameplay inspired by the series' highs, but is hampered by awkward controls and technical issues. While the game features clever level design and engaging combat moments, frustrating execution, particularly in platforming and boss fights, detracts from the overall experience. Despite its flaws, the game is not considered bad, but its ambition may have outpaced its development.
