I’m a big Amiga fan and an even bigger Castlevania fan. This project here from Dante Mendes is something I’ve been following for some time now. It’s been in a great state for a long time but Dante keeps adding more and more improvements to it. So, to celebrate Amiga’s 40th Anniversary, we get spoilt with yet another update. This time the colours have been improved, along with animated backgrounds, as well as new soundtracks. There’s a lot more there too. Below is how Dante describes it himself on his itch page.
A reimagined port of the 1986 original but with visuals inspired by Castlevania Chronicles and other non-8 bit titles in the series. The goal was to provide a playable and pure version of the original Castlevania but with an Amiga flavor. Not a port of the Sharp X68000 or PlayStation “Castlevania Chronicles” game, it only happens to use many level tiles and sprites from that game because it’s a practical rendition of how OG Castlevania would look in 16-bit or 32-bit.
Check out the links below for the games download page as well as Dante’s X account, which I can say is easily one of the best accounts you can follow on X.
