New Castlevania-like side-scrolling action game 'Accursed' has been announced. Coming to PC on November 16. Demo now available. Steam page:

Sir that’s just Castlevania.

Are you sure it's just a "-like"? They edited the official sprites and are trying to *sell* this... Bold.

'Inspired' doing some real heavy lifting here because that's literally just Balore.

I did the music on this game! Neat to see this on my timeline. I've played a it and it's a great castlevania-like. Major differences are in the boss battles, which imo are more satisfying. Also I'm told there's more of a story focus. I found there to be less bullshit deaths too.

More like Castlevania I/III or Simon’s Quest?

Why tf can't Konami make a Castlevania game like this?!

What a shameless ripoff

Hope it hits consoles

Tiene una vista de Castevania, se ve muy interesante el juego.

@Sabre_AZ

"inspiration"

@AdventurerAlm would probably like this

Looks way better than that gross furry one they’re advertising like crazy

Stretching the definition of "like" here.

More indie slop

Wow, this looks great!

@AzureXeire

More Castlevania than the Dead Cells crap that's about to be released.

Oh fuck they’re kind of nailing the music too!

Let me know when it’s on switch

@L0k0hGaming te voy a crear una necesidad que no lo necesitabas, un tipo de Castlevania de la NES y Curse of Moon pixelart retro. Accursed en Steam.

Switch 2 please

Is this going to be releasing in the future on consoles?

Konami el Lunes por la mañana...

@explosaofoda

Wishlisted. Hope it's not dogshit or a whopping 45 minutes of playtime. Looking at you, Terminator 2D: No Fate.

A demo this close to launch is a strong move, but it also means the build is nearly final. Curious what the hook is beyond the Castlevania comparison, since that framing alone rarely sells a side-scroller now.

the castlevania walk cycle is too iconic to change

Naaaaa, está mierda es un bootleg de Castlevania, literal parece un mod de C1. Aquí tan solo se ve todo muuuuuuy igual al área 1. ¿Pero quién soy yo para señalar?, total, ni lo voy a jugar por qué me repele.

Would be great to have a CRT version in 240p of this one

Would be interested in a physical Switch/2 version.
