Castlevania has been a spotlight for us on IndieRetroNews, particularly with quite a few clones being launched and my private favourite of Castlevania Spectral Interlude on the ZX Spectrum. Nicely, one recreation that is getting one other point out nonetheless, is Dante Retro Dev’s superior Scorpion Engine developed recreation of Castlevania AGA. A reimagined port of the 1986 authentic however with visuals impressed by Castlevania Chronicles and different non-8 bit titles within the collection. So why is that this recreation getting one other point out? Nicely, because of AmigaFrance giving me the heads up, now you can obtain a giant overhaul of the sport in celebration of Commodore Amiga’s fortieth anniversary!
This is what the developer says concerning the recreation “A reimagined port of the 1986 authentic however with visuals impressed by Castlevania Chronicles and different non-8 bit titles within the collection. The objective was to supply a playable and pure model of the unique Castlevania however with an Amiga taste. Not a port of the Sharp X68000 or PlayStation “Castlevania Chronicles” recreation, it solely occurs to make use of many stage tiles and sprites from that recreation as a result of it is a sensible rendition of how OG Castlevania would look in 16-bit or 32-bit”.
And this is the small print concerning the newest replace. “Following the Commodore Amiga’s fortieth anniversary, a giant overhaul with options like higher coloration use, AGA gradients, animated backdrops, calibrated soar physics, menu toggle for weapons launch methodology and new music tracks by IM76 and DJ Metune. Some examples are seen within the video hyperlink right here https://vimeo.com/1104181788?share=copy. Since this can be a pretty huge replace, it is anticipated that it might fail in several {hardware} configurations or produce sudden outcomes. Identified points: might play the incorrect animation whereas on stairs, or get caught, specifically should you burn up/down. Want to make use of left/proper and deal with stairs as if they’re a terrain slope (which they’re, inside engine-wise)”.
