Soul of Darkness

This game was pretty much exactly what I had been led to believe it would be, and that's legally distinct Castlevania with checkpointing on each screen. That latter part may seem lame, and it kind of is but overall it honestly makes getting through some high jank parts of the game more palatable, especially considering how for the last couple stages they bizarrely appeared to take oddly specific inspiration from some of the most frustrating bosses in classicvania, namely those from the later stages in Belmont's Revenge. Though the "story" if you wanna call it that is a lot more like the one in the first few seconds of Haunted Castle in terms of abrupt randomness.
