There’s the occasional secret and bonus to discover, but for the most part, you’re following a pretty strict path through this particular journey. Instead, you’re set on a pretty linear journey that is always quite clear about where you need to go next. You won’t be backtracking to use newly acquired abilities to access previously inaccessible parts of old areas as you travel a maze-like map. It’s important to clarify that this is a Castlevania-like game instead of a Metroidvania. Basically, two of the characters from the series (Shinobu and Maya) are transported to a very gothic, very Castlevania-like castle, and need to track down and defeat the evil Kurona to get taken back to the “real world.” There’s nothing much to this narrative and Inti Creates doesn’t let it get in the way of jumping straight into the reason that you’re playing the game – to experience a very Castlevania-like adventure, with all the ugly monsters, grim aesthetics and challenging platforming that entails. The game is set in the Gal*Gun universe, though it’s entirely unrelated to the Gal*Gun games.

While Nintendo continues to look for ways to modernise the 2D platformer in its Mario, Donkey Kong, and other properties, Inti Creates focuses on pixels, classic level design, and challenging, taut mechanics. Inti Creates is one of the most talented retro-style platform developers out there.
