Jefes buenos, variedad de enemigos, niveles memorables, recomiendo jugarlo en ARRANGE MODE para un desafío aceptable, el ORIGINAL es solo para expertos. Complete ambos modos para obtener la experiencia completa del juego.

It's really like the old franchise games. A difficult game with instant kill levels and annoying flying enemies. Checkpoints could be more generous in Arrange mode

Absolutely amazing. Finally getting a thrilling classic Castlevania just as hard as the originals.

Castlevania Chronicles is a reimagining of the original Castlevania on NES, originally released for the Sharp X68000 gaming computer in Japan. The game would later receive a port for the PlayStation, with the original game (Original Mode) and an updated version (Arrange Mode). Original Mode is very difficult and plays like a second quest, where enemies do much more damage and the jumping controls feel stiff. Arrange Mode is more beginner friendly with easier difficulty and smoother controls. While the game doesn't bring anything new to the table as far as the Castlevania series goes, it's a solid entry in the series and worth playing for any fan.

The game itself has 2 modes: original mode and arranged mode, the arranged mode has different more "modern" music and is easier, mostly because the character moves faster. I played in original mode and while the 1st stages where kind of easy, soon the difficulty starts to get really punishing, this can be good or bad depending on the person. You can Save your file from the start of each stage which made things easier.
