Castlevania: The Adventure – Masque of Retribution is a fangame developed by WarMachine Studios (formerly called BMC Warmachine). It offers a fresh take on the iconic Castlevania: The Adventure, which debuted for the Game Boy handheld game console in 1989.

Although the original title was entertaining, it faced several constraints due to the hardware limitations of the handheld console. This remake addresses those constraints, delivering a more contemporary experience that aligns with the standards set by its developer.

The controls in Castlevania: The Adventure – Masque of Retribution are straightforward, drawing inspiration from the original game. You can control Christopher Belmont, the protagonist, using the WASD keys, while the J key is designated for attacks and the K key for jumping. Additionally, to utilize sub-weapons, a new feature not presents in the original game – you can simply press the attack button (J) in conjunction with the W key. If you prefer, the game also supports play with a gamepad.

In the original game, the action was somewhat sluggish due to the hardware limitations of the Game Boy console. However, Castlevania: The Adventure – Masque of Retribution enhances this experience, offering a much more dynamic pace reminiscence of modern titles like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Not only will your character have increased speed, but enemies will also be more agile and pose a greater threat. Fortunately, numerous upgrades for the original whip are available, and unlike the old games, you won’t lose them upon taking damage from an enemy.

One of the highlights of any Castlevania game is its boss encounters. Castlevania: The Adventure – Masque of Retribution features a remarkable lineup of bosses. Each enemy you face is a remastered version of the originals, equipped with new attack patterns that heighten the challenge. Defeating these bosses will test your skills, but checkpoints are conveniently placed nearby, allowing you to retry the fights without having to restart the entire level.

In short, if you’re a fan of the Castlevania series and want to experience this classic in a new light, give Castlevania: The Adventure – Masque of Retribution a try. This remake boasts stunning visuals and an exceptional remastered soundtrack. It’s a complete game that will surely delight fans of the Metroidvania genre and the Castlevania series alike.
