What players say
Steam review score and the most-helpful voices, which may include critical ones. Data as of 2026-05-20.
“This game is a sequel to Curse of the Moon and it is way better than the first one. The game has three chapters where chapter 2 are just remixed stages with harder boss battles. While chapter 3 gives you more playable characters and a bonus stage, I think for what its worth, yes…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“It's good, pretty tough though. Harder than the first one. Lots of NES-type knockback into falling off a cliff, but that's kind of the vibe it's going for and you can turn that off if you want.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“I really tried to like this game. I enjoy difficult platformers, and like the classic Castlevanias. But so much of this game is really more about cheap deaths than fair ones, and the character differences aren't as interesting as the first.”
