This would have been a game worth $59.95. At least back in 1990. Castlevania was my favorite series, and this is a great remake. Oh and for anyone who was thinking, why the hell was he taking so long in the first Mansion?! Well time doesn’t pass when you are in a Mansion, so if he is going to take a long time to farm for hearts- it is always best to do it inside a Mansion. That way you don’t murder your time limit

I love the addition of the bosses in the mansions

The revamped look is amazing. Loved Simons Quest so I gotta give this a go. Thanks for posting.

nice take on Castlevania 2. as a classic Castlevania fan. I really like the work and dedication that went into making this. I like how it has the mixture of Super Castlevania 4 Dracula X & Sympathy of the Night. graphics and the gameplay looks very impressive. many props to the people or person for making this. looks really awesome. I would like to play this game if I could.

Never understood Konami's obsession with remaking the first game a billion times when Simon's Quest clearly needed work. This is what should've been on the SNES instead. I know I'll probably get hate for such thoughts, but damn man.

Why the hate? I think many people would agree with you. So many first Castlevania remakes: Super 4, Chronicles, home computers awful remakes (except Sharp X68000), phone remakes. Castlevania 2&3 deserved better remakes, maybe a la All-Stars games. Better translation, maybe, SRAM savings, maps(Castlevania 2). Faithful Castlevania 3 16-bit or PS1 port! Instead, Konami kept it up with (sometimes useless) remakes and ports of first Castlevania...

Aside of a perfect fan game... I find it amusing that the sprite for Dracula makes him look like he's flapping his arms like a kid pretending to fly. Dracula: I CAN FLY! I CAN FLYYY!! Simon: AW, SHADDAP!!

This is very similar to how I wished Simons Quest would have turned out before I played the game the first time back in 1988, minus the 16 bit graphics. Good job on this, and I really like adding a boss before getting each part of Dracula's body.

Really liked the added boss fights!

super awesome game remake. but why not gather all of the weapons? was the grinding really necessary to show? i would love to see the sacred flame and diamond weapons maybe the silver dagger. i like how the flame whip increased in strength, was that because of the ring or something else?

so...in the course of this awesomely fan-made remake we go from a simple leather whip to basically a long-chained flail with holy fire...I like it!

It's a decent remake, but a whole lot more could have been done. Props on fixing the bosses, definitely definitely a plus! Extending the original songs (improvise/orchestrated with a tracker) would have been a treat. A complete clone of SOTN's mechanics would have been great, but this is a sufficient port, it's just that some things look a bit sluggish. Decreased costs to help the player progress sooner would have been welcome. Voices would have been epic for boss dialog before battle. As for the visuals, it's not too bad.. but there's a LOT much better looking concepts on DA that would have been great!

@jasonmaxwell9762

The reason why it's good. Is it's pixel perfect to the original. A different format would have entirely changed the game. This and ARM2 are the best sequel remakes ever made.

Cool remake. Love how packed Rover Mansion was with enemies that don't just "patrol" back and forth. It's good when you have enemies that actually target you. But then elsewhere, the devils that shoot fire (and other critters) were a bit too relaxed in this. If someone decides to remake the game, yet again (which I hope they do), do it COMPLETELY in SOTN style. This just took elements from it, but could have taken advantage of a lot more, including graphics and effects. (The blocks were just ugly in this) dracula's castle could have been a lot more challenging. The original CV2 was "rushed" and they didn't finish making Dracula's Castle, nor did they actually implement a true boss. The nice thing about remakes is that there is no deadline, take all the time you need and give us what we've been waiting for :) A full final level and a truly challenging boss fight.... you can also extend the amount of days for the good ending in order to fit the new content.

It's like PC during the 16-bit era of gaming, haha! Not bad.

I agree. My guess is that someone created a midi version of the original music by just translating the original music instead of actually writing the music in a digital workstation. And then they used an updated sound bank, instead of using a sound bank that better aligns with the sounds from the 80's. Also the volume of each individual note has not been adjusted in the drum kit. And there is also a reverb effect on some of the hits (like the snare and hi hat), which I don't remember the NES music having any reverb on the drums. Overall it is a distraction... I wish the original music was used. My understanding is that the guy who made the game did not have much time or resources to make it perfect, and he asked for some assistance in the Metroidvania community, but I don't know if anyone helped. But being this game is like 9 years old I doubt anyone is going to update it any time soon anyways.

2:20. I feel bad for those two guys who got hanged in the mansion. Not only did they die in a disturbing way, but it also looks like they had to pee really bad too. Double whammy!

This is pretty neat. The only thing that is disappointing are the boss fights, given how incredibly basic their movements and attack patterns are. They could have been much more lively.

This shit is awesome,gonna give it a go soon. Always wanted a remake

I was looking up Castlevania to see what games got remade and I ran across this one I never knew all of these years

A great remake, the only thing I would have done differently is add in some optional side quests.

That background fog during the night sequences is creepy!

Dat Dracula dance tho

I don't remember harpies in the old Simon's Quest. Nor with the flame whip that you loose hearts every time you use it. The graphics are tight. They should have up dated the NES games for PS4. These graphics are tight.

this is a pretty nice remake. what software did you use to make this and how long did it take?

That new whip smacked the taste out of my mouth

I would have loved it if Konami remade the Castlevania trilogy for PC-Engine CD-ROM, but if I had to choose between Rondo and the original trilogy I'd choose Rondo.

What's up with the flame whip? Is there an added upgrade in this version? The menu clearly says flame whip at 59:39, but the whip looks different later on.

Looks great and I'm going to play it, but why did you have to make the character so big compared to its surroundings ?

I really wish this were a ROM-based remake, for SNES. The SNES would have been more than capable of processing this. Anyone remember that PC version of Dracula X (the butchered port of Rondo of Blood) that was floating around on the internet back in the day? Just one self-contained file (an .EXE you ran) and the game just loaded right up. Turns out it had a virus baked into it. Check all the old forums on retro games, and you quickly realize that the contaminated version was the _only_ one that ever seemed to exist on the web. Now I'm real cautious about any executables that can be downloaded for free.. Especially when I see what looks like Russian on a website. :\

It wasn't Dracula X, it was Rondo of Blood. Do you have any proofs? Haven't found anything on that but your words.

I downloaded the 1.5.2 which is the same version than this but simon runs very slow but the monsters and music are OK its just the simon framerate (EDIT) Tried it on Windows 7 and runs like the video. Its not working well on early versions of Windows 10 i dont know recent versions. NEW EDIT: It works on windows 10 early versions but you have to reopen the game if the character runs slow.

I was expecting a full redo of Simon's Quest where most of its problems were either tweaked or removed. But instead it's just a reskin of the NES. You still get the annoying day-n-night transition popup messages, and you still need to farm hearts through the whole game, and you still need to throw holy water on the ground in case you don't know which blocks are fake. -_-

This is a really well-done remake. The only thing I'm kinda iffy about is Simon's walk cycle. It looks little scrunched up. Nice playthrough, by the way!
