DefaultGen | 6,064 Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 This game looks cool and like a lot of effort was put into it, but man I cannot think of a retro concept more boring than yet another Castlevania or Super Metroid throwback. It feels like a waste that it's such an overly-done theme.

Sumez | 3,296 Posted January 15, 2024 Share Posted January 15, 2024 While I Agree with DefaultGen, I think it's cool that they called the guy Simon Quest.

PII | 2,198 Posted January 16, 2024 Share Posted January 16, 2024 (edited) ¡Yeah, Real CastleVania! Too bad I gotta wait till 2025 to prossess this game...

Webhead123 | 890 Posted January 16, 2024 Share Posted January 16, 2024 Well...when they take inspiration, they really take inspiration, don't they? But hey, I'm sold. Classic Castlevania is one of my "anytime, anywhere" game series and many modern devs have done great things with it, like the Bloodstained games. Here's hoping this one turns out as good as it looks. 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14246-the-transylvania-adventure-of-simon-quest/#findComment-392983 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So modern devs made a Castlevania-inspired game, but that's it, they haven't "done great things" with the series regarding that ss.

What I was implying was that "modern devs have done great things with [it] the inspiration that they've taken from that series".

NostalgicMachine | 436 Posted January 16, 2024 Share Posted January 16, 2024 I don't know how I feel about this one yet, lol. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14246-the-transylvania-adventure-of-simon-quest/#findComment-393015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR | 569 Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 The game looks awesome, and I'm down with it. I think the name is confusing though. The game is enough of an obvious homage without the cumbersome title. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14246-the-transylvania-adventure-of-simon-quest/#findComment-393056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 | 1,412 Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 I can't wait...for the inevitable cease and desist order. Pretty sure it's all fine except "Simon Quest," but given that it was part of the Castlevania Collection a couple years back, Konami may well want to protect that name. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14246-the-transylvania-adventure-of-simon-quest/#findComment-393063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiygasKaz | 2 Posted February 1, 2024 Share Posted February 1, 2024 Retroware has a decent track record that only seems to get better and better with their recently published titles, so I have confidence this'll end up being a fun time.

twiztor | 1,006 Posted February 3, 2024 Share Posted February 3, 2024 if this gets a physical release i will probably scoop it up. looks like a frustratingly difficult good time.
