★★★★★ instructions are poorly translated, game's audio is off, tiny window, and no controller support.
★★★★★ No video scaling options, one save slot that takes a full second to save, broken controller support, a "manual" that just lists the controls...

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ we can absolutely lose some outside the world pixels to place our thumbs for controlling the character; other emulation platforms allow this too.
★★★★★ ugly blur filter with no way to turn it off, sound effects are all messed up, screen is way too small, no controller support just get lemuroid and use your definitely legal backup of castlevania 1 it will be better…
★★★★★ I know it's free but a little more effort could have gone into this Konami.
2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ It has a noticeable input lag that does not exist on the original NES hardware or other ports.
★★★★★ Emulation is both slow and incorrect, with the same bugged sound effects from every other cheap playstore emulator.
32 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ smooth port, wish they added new features but can't complain much on free without ads.
★★★★★ Haven't tried to hook up a controller but the action isn't so fast paced that the touch controls are a hinderance.
★★★★★ Movement feels not as smooth if you're only using the touchscreen,I haven't tried using a controller.
3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Controller support is partially broken on my 8 bit duo controller so I can do everything but jump.
★★★★★ Controller Support is really needed.
★★★★★ It's Castlevania 1 for the NES, basic save state support, and nothing else.

Touch controls are not great for this kind of game but its free.
is there NES version of Castlevania
awesome
One of the best classic game ever just controls are trash on touch screen. Thank you for free Game.
this is a pretty poor execution. no full screen option, so tiny on most modern handhelds, except maybe a foldable. the only quality of life improvement is save states, thats it. They could have done so much more for a castlevania 40th. Its free right now, so thats about the only good thing about it. if you've never played it, its this or buying the collection on any console, for a legit copy.
I hate that I have to give 1 star to this beloved classic! But Konami was very lazy with this version! It has a noticeable input lag that does not exist on the original NES hardware or other ports.
