ESSENTIAL GAME
Soul Of Darkness
There is no shortage of great handheld Castlevania games – but what is a player to do if they’ve already beaten them all? Play this very clear tribute to Konami’s classic series, that’s what. It’s more linear than the standard Metroidvania-style games that Castlevania was known for in that era, and though it’s a port of a mobile game, it’s rather impressive with some nice visuals and audio, despite a small file size and a low asking price. The only struggle for new players will be finding a way to acquire it.
