The game used to run fine even with all the mobile limitations, but all of a sudden you're asking for permition to access to access my photos and media. The game has no need to access any of those. So please fix this and let me play the game I paid for. Koji style Castlevania has been near and dear to me since I was little. I've beaten SOTN probably once every couple years by now. The mobile version is...servicable. It uses a port of the PSP version, complete with the redubs and retextures, which are...okay. No lag, which is good. The arial-esqe menu font feels kinda outta place though (could use a faithful pixel font maybe.) and the controls could use adjusting. (Heard a lotta folks struggle using mist in the air due to the way it's set up.. I bought this game and try to play it on my tablet and it doesn't open the message that I get says unpacking files fail can you help make an update to fix this I did make sure to allow storage access to the app and it still doesn't work.
Cool 2-D hack&slash. I found it almost Impossible to play without a b.t. controller. as is the game as a whole, sometimes it seems as if I'm runnin in sircles... seems to follow the original version, or so I'm informed. I nvr plyd this as a youngsta in its o.g. day, but I'm very familiar of the era of gaming it was created. that era of gaming was a bestest baby sitter I could a evr had.... So, I'm holding out for the developer to fix the speed bug. It's been an issue for several months and this game wasn't super cheap. I was one of the first buyers (relatively) and it worked fine. Whatever tweak you made that caused the issue cannot be as bad as this issue. The cure cannot be worse then the disease?.
The frequent lengthy moments, like when you die, and are unable to skip them, absolutely ruin this for someone like me, who is playing on a touch screen, and so dies more often. C'mon lads!!! - This's f**king unforgivable in the 2020's!! I'd score it lower in protest, but it IS a good game, so that'd be unfair.. Triple edit: yes the control is sometimes tedious, however it is because you as a player are supposed to get used to it. 2D Castlevania games would often require some getting used to controls. I would recommend using a Bluetooth controller if you wish to speed up the process. The rest of the game is fantastic and after almost 2 years I still return to it. Thank you for making SOTN accesibile to a lot of us..
Perfect port, better with a bluetooth controller, the in game controller made me wait two years until I got a good controller, the PS5 dual sense, now I have to say thta the bluetooth controller sometimes lag but is just disconect and then conect again and everything come back to normal, the experience is the same as the ps1, I wished that the original dialogue was here but it is the Requiem one, WHAT IS A MAN? I love this game.. This game has to be used with a controller. The original game was the best because of the voice actors and dialogue was great. This game has different dialogue and voice actors and ruins the game. I'm stuck in the clock room because the time doesn't shift and no matter how many times I restart a new game, I can go any further because I can't gain Mist form which prevents me from getting everything else I need. Don't buy and don't download. Get it is PS form..
Game runs using increased refresh rate, which causes it to run way faster than necessary. Attempting to employ game booster low refresh mode slows it back down, but then it's too slow. This is problematic, as timing in this game is a key component. One star until a fix is employed.. While this game is still a masterpiece, this version sadly isn't. The touch controls are mostly fine but it does get difficult to pull off special moves for weapons or spells. The sound issues that plagued the PSP version are still present here after now nearly 17 years. If you want to play this game, the PS1 or 360 (it has some audio issues but not this bad) version are much better options plus you get the original voices unlike this that has the Dracula X Chronicles redub..
The game IS sped up, as per at least one other review, and noticeably so. This must have happened woth an update, as I played this last year and it was not the case. Not fun to play. I'll change my rating and update my review when the change occurs.. The game itself is... decent. The graphics and music are great, but the gameplay is surpassed by Castlevania 1, 3, 4, Bloodlines, and Rondo. What is awful, however, are the mobile controls. They are too small and not sensitive. You have to be extremely precise in where you touch or nothing will happen. This has resulted in me dying numerous times due to my character not jumping or attacking. Make the buttons bigger and more responsive!.
I purchased this mobile port of the game years ago but never really played it for more than a few minutes. Finally got into it recently and have been blown away. It really checks all the boxes for me. Nostalgia for the early console days fully satisfied. Best integration of controls from a port I've ever experienced. It's really a gem from a very sweet spot in the good old days of gaming. Other developers should take notes and lots of them.. The game is definitely SotN, but it moves so fast. Like, the frame rate is about 1.5x what it was on console. It needs a built in way to fix this since I have heard many other people gave had this problem..
This is a pretty good port. The only thing holding it back is the touch controls. The touch controls can't be customized, the layout is absolute garbage and you can't even shield dash. I would give this a 5 stars but the touch controls are so bad that they ruin the whole experience. Do not buy this if you don't have access to a gamepad. You're better off dumping a rom and using an emulator.. Giving low stars because it seems really really sped up by comparison to console version, like at least 3normal speed. Still pretty good in spite of that, I've been playing this since I was a young teen and love this game, probably one of my favorites of all time. Slow it down, Richter is missing important commands, can't double tap to run, slide doesn't have the leaping kick, can't figure out how to activate the special ability for the flame whip etc etc.... I'm lowering stars for major flaws.
Although it was nice to go down memory lane since I own the Playstation version, the sound effects, the voice acting and the narrations are not as good as the original. The controls are not as responsive either. A bit glitchy in some places where the hero doesn't land on some platforms but falls through them which is annoying. Regardless, it was okay to play overall.. Controls are actually great, despite the reviews. I have been playing this on console with a controller, and figured I'd see if it existed on mobile. Sure enough, and the spells being bound to a single button? Priceless. The voice overs seem to be remastered/redone, not really a bother to me as long as the game is the same, which thus far it seems it is! Loving it. Thank you Konami..
One of the greatest games ever made, now on your smartphone! Touch screen controls are okay, but you will really want a controller for this. Still, I thought this was a good port. And for only 4 dollars? More than a reasonable price.. It looks exactly like the console version, and plays just as well. At first, I thought there was a problem with the controls, but I was just pressing the wrong button. The touchscreen play is good, and even though my device is 120hz, I've seen no problem with speedup. It's perfect SotN on the go, and that's all I ask for. Excellent!.
Worth every penny. One of my favorite games of all time, and this is a shockingly good port at an amazing price. Playing with touch screen controls definitely adds a new challenge to the gameplay but given how familiar I am with the original game it actually makes the game exciting to play again and forces me to play in ways I never did before. This is gonna live on my phone indefinitely.. I thought this would be a good game on the go and the port is good in almost everyway, except for the control which makes it almost insufferable. Too many times you get hit or you miss a hit because the game thinks you didn't hit a button. I don't have this issue in many other games so something is wrong here. Some customization for controls and maybe buttons should could have extended click area around them, but as it now the control is the biggest flaw. Hence the low review score.
Apparently the mobile touch controls are a nightmare, or so they say. I use a Xbox SX controller and it works flawlessly. As a Silent Hill, Metal Gear and Castlevania fan, I'm not too content with Konami these days, but they did this masterpiece justice. Kudos.. I am loving everything, only issue is the controls. Why can't I customize them!? It's ESSENTIAL. Like, changing the placement and size of buttons, adding extra buttons, etc. I think blocking could be smoother, and there are some things you just *can't* do - its impossible to use the sheild while jumping because it's just such weird placement, I understand this is a game for the cell phone but come on man we should at the very least be able to adjust controls. That would make it so much smoother.
Sadly game was unplayable. Was on super speed mode and no setting in the game to change. Was able to disable "Smooth Display" on my Pixel 8 Pro then it would run at normal proper speed but it would chop and lag every now and then. Pro thing though: Worked with the Razr Kishi flawlessly So did a Refund which went through without problem.. Overall a fun game and a classic, but there is a glaring oversight in this Android port. The game supports Google Play integration for achievements, but does not retain your saved games. I got 6 hours into this game, had to uninstall it, and then when I was ready to play again, I was shocked to find all of my progress lost..
This is probably my favorite game ever. I played it for the first time a few years ago but have been a Castlevania fan since nes days. Makes me wonder what I was doing when this game originally came out.. I was surprised to find a castlevania game on the appstore, such a breath of fresh air to play this game from all these modern games, i can pull out my phone and boot it up anytime i have free time anywhere. I love it!.
After putting over 5 hours into this game I can say it is worth buying if you like metroidvania games, easy value for money. Controls are manageable without but I would recommend using a controller if available. Loading screen is about 15 seconds if you die and cannot be skipped. 5/5 Worth Playing!. Controls on mobile do not hold it back. I beat 100% barring the false ending cause I wanted to play as much as I could, and it was my first and only time playing this game. It's up there with bloodeborne and chronotrigger as my favorite games ever.
This game is great. I mean really really great. My only issue to this is that the in-game speed depends in your phones refresh rate. In 60Hz it's normal but if you go 90Hz it will speed up upto like 1.25x speed and if you go 120Hz or 144Hz it will speed up even more. My only solution to this is to reduced my phones refresh rate to play it normally..
