I've seen a few discussions talking about Haunted Castle and how it's bad, clunky, and just not very fun to play. I personally disagree. I love Haunted Castle and will even go as far to call it one of my favorite Castlevania titles. Why? Well, the graphics are excellent for starters. Great use of colors and the sprites look terrific. Some people say that they look chunky, but I don't know. They kind of work for this game for some reason. Easily looks a million times better than the NES entries. The controls are also great and feel way better than most of the console games. You can also move forward a bit while doing a still jump, not possible in the NES games. And of course, the music is fantastic, like in most Castlevania games. My only problem with the game, is that some parts feel pretty difficult and require memorization. But hey, the NES games had moments where you needed to memorize parts also. There's no reason to slam this game for requiring the player to memorize sections when the other games also had parts like this. It just feels unfair. Just like the hate this game receives from players. While it's no masterpiece, it's a great Castlevania game and deserves more recognition, along with Castlevania: The Adventure (another awesome Castlevania game that gets a lot of unfair hate). Say what you want, but I give Haunted Castle a 8/10.
