Castlevania: SotN

The controls feel a bit clunky at times, and sometimes it feels like it just doesn't read my inputs.
Also, in the PlayStation version of the game, you have access to Dark Metamorphosis from the get-go, so you can readily heal yourself when Alucard's at his weakest... Why did you change that??? Why is that ability locked all the way in the library???? Did Death steal Alucard's vampirism, too?????
That one change makes the start of the game infinitely harder than it's supposed to be & it's extremely frustrating & annoying.

Can’t get the wonderful music or anything coming out. This is why I love the game. The soundtrack. Please help

The game is terrible. Overall - save your money. There is nothing about how to get more health. You essentially need to start a new character. They should owe me the 3 bucks. What a bunch of chumps. This game is terrible. Lucky it’s only 1 star.

Disclaimer: I used a controller attachment for my experience with this game. I have experimented with the touch controls, which seemed to be fine by my standards. Just keep in mind that most of what I’ll say is from someone who used a controller add-on.

I consider myself to be a massive fan of the Castlevania franchise. With that being said, this is the only port of the game that I have actually brought myself to finish. Being able to have the convenience of just opening up this app and playing the game was honestly the best part of the experience. Whether I’m a passenger in the car, bored at school, or just chilling in bed, this game was readily available on my phone at all times. As long as you don’t care about the very specific things, you will love this port of the game. This is a phenomenal Castlevania entry, and I highly recommend it for anybody looking to get into the franchise. It has: a wonderful soundtrack, stunning visuals for its time that still hold up well in today’s age, intriguing gameplay mechanics within its puzzles(to expand the castle’s explorability) and combat(bat, wolf, and mist transformations), and a classic RPG leveling-up system in which you’re encouraged to explore the entire castle to find every item, armor, and weapon. Not to mention that you can play as other characters aside from Alucard, such as the iconic Richter Belmont & Maria Renard!

If you’re looking for a convinient way to play this, just buy it already. It’s so cheap for the amount of hours you will have enjoying yourself.

Also, Alucard is just so cool…

I’m not able to listen the music with out AirPods. Please fix it

Decent port, but needs controller support.

Idk what I did but the clock room's big clock froze and isn't updating to game time. Unfortunately (no spoilers) this blocks a lot of the later game.

This is still a great game, the touch controls are a bit of a challenge but having a game anywhere is worth it.

Thank you, Konami workers!

Awful port of this game. The controls are unresponsive and slow leading to frustrating gameplay. Original game was 10/10. This app version not so much

Game is nearly perfect, and strangely easy to play with the on-screen buttons. However, when connected to any Bluetooth audio output, the audio is slowed down considerably. Doesn’t break the game, but it does make it a disorienting experience.

The game freezes when u get to the royal palace and go thru the bottom left entrance.alucard just freezes at the red door, and I have to keep starting over.i thought it was my phone. But a year later it still does this

game itself is flawless, however there is room on the borders to move the buttons OUT of the actual game area, and enough room to have all 3 of alucards transformations be their own buttons. on a ps4/5 controller, the map is bound to right stick up/down which can be glitchy and frustrating with the map getting 'stuck' on screen, being able to rebind buttons would solve this completely. address this, its not even hard. i could do it myself.

On-screen controls are somewhat unresponsive unless hit very precisely, and when one’s character dies the game saves to rather awkward points, such as mere seconds before demise; this results in either just reliving the moment of death over and over again, or restarting from the beginning. The second option wouldn’t be a problem except for the absolutely unnecessary opening ‘level’ that sets up the game’s main play. It takes too long and there’s no real point to it expect for introducing the main storyline.

Always was curious about this series as a kid. Now I can play it as I please! It’s a really great game, super fun visuals and the gameplay is good. Totally rad game.

as stated, controls need work. Inputs don't read half the time.

I can’t seem to move and then control are trash
