Castlevania: Belmont's Curse's New Demo Reveals a Divide Dead Cells Never Had to Face

The release of Konami's Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, a brand-new addition to the Castlevania family, is now right around the corner. Developed by the team behind Dead Cells,Evil Empire and Motion Twin, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse has already been making a big splash in the world of gaming thanks to a recently released demo. Now that I have had time to sit with the hour-long romp ahead of the game's October 15 release, I have some thoughts about gameplay, especially as it relates to the world of metroidvanias. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse has implemented new mechanics that make gameplay feel fresh, while still paying homage to Castlevania games of the past.
