Castlevania: Belmont's Curse presents an uneven experience characterized by a frustrating, aggressive early game and a comically easy late game. While the title features stunning artwork, beautiful music, and compelling voice acting, the reviewer notes that the gameplay feels "wrong" and undertuned compared to its predecessors.
The game's mechanics rely heavily on a parry system using the Light Shield, which the reviewer finds tiresome. Enemies frequently track player movement, punishing early evasion attempts and forcing reliance on parries. This design is particularly punishing during gauntlet sequences, where mistakes can reset progress.
Conversely, the late game becomes frictionless due to powerful equipment, including a sword and shield that warps the player behind enemies, and relics that grant near-invulnerability. The reviewer highlights that while movement options like the dash and double jump are fun, the overall balance feels backwards, as endgame challenges are significantly easier than the opening hours.
The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. A 100% completion run takes approximately 16 hours. The reviewer concludes that despite the gameplay flaws, the title offers a strong setting and atmosphere, though they ultimately felt compelled to revisit older entries in the series.
