Ratings and reviews

I was very happy to see sotn ported to Android. This is one of my all-time favorite games. Then I tried to play it. Started out with minor problems like occasionally nothing happened when I tried to attack. Maybe it's me? Then it got worse, and jumping didn't work. I hit the center of the jump button 3 times and nothing happened 🤨. Now, I get to the clock and the internal timer isn't working. The clock is stuck. Clock fix: Save and load your game. Do not use continue, as it breaks the clock.

Used to play on a Galaxy S9 and everything ran great. Upgraded to an S23 and all of the sudden the game is WAY too fast. Everything on screen happens at about twice the normal speed, gameplay and dialogue. Gameplay is an issue because jumping feels like I have lead feet, I have to make perfect jumps for even the most basic platforming otherwise I drop like a brick and have to redo everything. I don't see a setting to alter game speed, so I have no idea how to fix this.

The game is a great game, but the Android version sucks. Specifically, the spacing for the controls are too far apart, especially on the directional pad. If you're not very precise when you try to push the buttons, it doesn't recognize your movements. I love the Castlevania series and Konami, but this Android version needs revised controls. Save your money and get it on a PS1 Emulator instead. They all have better controls than this. When Konami revised the controls, I'll re-rate it five stars.
