Castlevania: Chorus of Mysteries

By: Derek Yu

On: June 25th, 2007

Castlevania for the NES was a pretty tough game, but Chorus of Mysteries, a rom hack by optomon and Dr. Mario, makes playing the original seem as easy as cloning a PopCap game (zing!). Never before have medusa heads and jumping situations been combined with such little compassion towards the player. I think save states were created for the sole purpose of getting through this game.

Still, if you’re a Castlevania nut, it’s worth checking out because it’s a pretty full conversion of the first game. Or, you know, buy a whip and check yourself into a Turkish prison. The results will probably be the same.

“Too many developers are making “cheap knock-offs” of successful games and holding back growth of the casual games market, according to Jason Kapalka, chief creative officer at PopCap Games.”

Gee thanks for the raving review lol… Oh well, you know what they say about publicity. In all honesty though, we worked on this for a little more than a year, and we ended up getting a little too used to it I guess. That’s the real reson why it’s so hard. We’re actually going to release an updated version that’s a little bit easier in the near future.

I was making a dumb joke. I haven’t played it. You’re supposed to hear the Butthead laugh when you read it. huh huh… huh.
Dr. Mario

Haha nah, it’s cool. I was just stating in general that we’re working on an updated easier version. When you stare at the same game for like a year, you tend to get really good at it. It really clouds your judgement when it comes to difficulty. First thing to go? A lot of those Medusa heads, especially in level 2.
