Castlevania: Belmont's Curse consensus: expertly made, and critics split on whether 'safe' is a flaw
Reviews for Konami and Evil Empire's new 2D Castlevania went live early Tuesday, ahead of today's launch. Critics agree it is expertly made. They split on whether playing it safe is a flaw, on the music and on how hard it is. Switch players get a performance warning. This is a consensus review: we did not play it.
