Castlevania fans, here’s something cool for you. Last month, PQube and PixelHeart released a new game called Chronicles of the Wolf. This game is inspired by the old 16-bit Castlevania games. So, if you like this particular genre, you should definitely give it a try.
In Chronicles of the Wolf, you play as Mateo Lombardo. Your mission is to hunt the legendary Beast of Gévaudan. You’ll explore big castles, fight tough bosses, and find hidden secrets. The game aims to mix fast action, tricky areas to explore, and a dark, exciting story.
Players will talk to people in the world, find strong weapons, and solve tricky puzzles. They will also unlock cool new powers that help them explore the big, connected world in their own way. Along the journey, they’ll fight tough bosses that will really test their skills.
As you will see in the trailer, this looks like Super Castlevania IV for SNES. Not only that, but guest star Bloodless from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will make a special appearance.
I should also note that there is a demo you can download to play before purchasing it. For our KB&M fans, there is a small issue, though. Apparently there was a bug that could prevent players from using a mouse and keyboard after reloading a game save. To fix it, the devs have completely removed support for keyboard and mouse. Right now, there is no ETA on when we’ll get proper KB&M controls. So, make sure to have a controller to play it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to.
These past couple of days we’ve shared a some other cool old-school titles. Just a few hours ago, we informed you about the release date of Old School Rally. Then we have Pulsebreaker. This is a retro survival horror game inspired by PS1 classics like Resident Evil and Fear Effect. In June, we also informed you about Super Woden: Rally Edge. Super Woden: Rally Edge is a new racing game, inspired by SEGA Rally and Neo Drift Out.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

I played it a bit a couple of weeks ago.
It's surprisingly very good. Some parts feel very amateurish, especially on the technical side, but the core gameplay is very solid.
It's a passion project by a French developer.

I binged this game so hard when it came out.
Starts off slow and similar to Castlevania 2 and then just goes full on insane.
Played it and did a video on it about checking it out on launch day. Within the first 2 minutes the game froze up and had to completely kill the game and restart it. Quite a lot of technical issues throughout the first hour.
The gameplay itself seemed fine, but had a weird underlying quality to it, that I could never put my finger on. I ended putting it down and haven't returned to it.
This game… Sank 35+ hours into this.
Yes, it has jank.
Yes, it has performance issues on Steam Deck but the game is 100 percent serviceable.
From the music, to the exploration, to the voice work, tp the gameplay, puzzles and boss fights… Also, a great many endings and secrets!
