Castlevania - True FailureDescription

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

Castlevania - True FailureRead Me

This hack completely changes the level-design of the original Castlevania.
It's mainly targeted towards speedrunners because now it's absolutely necessary to exploit
damage boosting in order to beat the game.

The challenge is high but there are many secrets on the way to help you out.

Happy vampire hunting!
