Castlevania Chronicles II – Simon’s Quest (AKA: Super Castlevania Chronicles 2) is a fan-created remake of the classic 8-bit video game Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest on the NES console. This homage project seeks to modernize one of the franchise’s most cherished titles by enhancing its graphics, refining gameplay mechanics, introducing new content, and ultimately making it an essential experience for saga enthusiasts.

Castlevania Chronicles II – Simon’s Quest now offers native support for Xbox controllers or any gamepads that utilize Xbox drivers, ensuring compatibility and a comfortable gaming experience. For those who prefer traditional controls, you can opt to play with a keyboard. The pause menu conveniently displays the key bindings for actions such as jumping, attacking, and navigation. If you’re familiar with Metroidvania titles, the control layout will feel intuitive and easy to grasp.

In true homage to the original, the remake provides players with a high degree of freedom. Starting the game in a village, you can freely explore the area and interact with its inhabitants. Talking to villagers is essential, as many of them offer valuable information or items for sale. Additionally, you can venture into houses, shops, and various locales, while choosing multiple pathways throughout your adventure. These choices can even lead to different possible endings, depending on your actions.

One of the most notable modern additions to Castlevania Chronicles II – Simon’s Quest is the inclusion of a save feature, eliminating the need for old-fashioned password systems. You can now save your game at various checkpoints scattered throughout the maps, which is an invaluable improvement given the high difficulty of the game. With only three lives at the start, and a game over looming when all lives are lost, frequent saving is crucial.

Another welcome improvement is the revamped currency system, which provides a fresh approach to purchasing items and sub-weapons. Instead of using hearts, something the original required – you now can earn money by defeating enemies. This currency can then be exchanged in villages for various upgrades. Furthermore, the game introduces two new sub-weapons, the axe and the cross, seamlessly integrating them into the gameplay while staying true to the series’ iconic arsenal.

Overall, Castlevania Chronicles II – Simon’s Quest is an exceptional fan-made remake that not only breathes new life into one of the most beloved games in the Castlevania series, but also elevates it with thoughtful enhancements. The revitalized experience is further enriched by a powerful soundtrack, featuring stunning metal remixes of the original tunes. In summary, this remake is a must-play gem for fans of the franchise and Metroidvania aficionados alike.
