I really wanted to recommend this hack BUT...
Reviewed By: Aceearly1993 on 03 Aug 2021It’s totally good to see a “real” expansional hack to Dawn of Sorrow, the ever-rising enthusiasm to Castlevania franchise driven me to apply and check the content of this hack, but sadly I find the considerable amount of Metroid references disrupting and annoying enough to keep me away from really enjoying this hack; I don’t know if it’s just me, but their art style did not fit that of Dawn of Sorrow graphics, thus made the total art style disorienting, well, at least in my view. But beside of that, this hack is a no doubt a high quality, creatively done top tier work which author deserves more praise and love from Castlevania fans.
EDIT: So the version is updated to 1.0.4 but no mention about a separate patch that drops the Metroid references. Review stays.
