Don't care what anyone says. This is my favorite Castlevania game.

Don't care what anyone says. This is my favorite Castlevania game. It's pretty good. Of the NES trilogy, it's probably my least favorite, but that's only because the other two are just that good. First one is fun for a simple playthrough and the third one is great for it's diverse level design. Second game had the ability to explore, and as someone who loved the Zelda games, this was a selling factor to me. |

Same with Metroid. They made these big areas to explore but if you want to have fun doing that you get penalized. |

This was my first Castlevania game, so I have very fond memories of it. Don't think I ever finished it, though.

It's a fun game, and I like how they ripped off Yngwie Malmsteen for the castle music.

To be fair, I remember that it doesn't count when you're inside a castle, so if you want to grind, that's the place to do it. Nonetheless, if you're a new player that could be annoying. |

Not talking about grinding. Talking about exploring. Just going aimlessly from place to place just having fun. Sure both Castlevania 2 and Metroid were limited compared to the open world games of today. But it was still fun to be able to do more than walk right until you reach the end of a stage. But then you have this time limit to get a good ending. |

Looking back at it, it's funny how Simon's Quest influenced the eventual Metroidvania style, but I admit I've never been as big on those games as I was on the original style. Still, Simon's Quest makes it possible to imagine a Castlevania made somewhat in the style of something like Legend of Zelda, where you explore a big overworld, have designated "dungeon" areas, do things like barter quests, gain upgrades through sidequests, etc.
