| Very Good | onepiecefan2007 | 2018-08-16 | Version 1.0 |
Is absolutely one of the best CV hack ever made. The level's layout is very good, the creator made the game darker than the original and I think this is perfect for CV. The new enemies are all wonderful, I like particularly the little toys that replace the monkeys and the jellyfishes that replace hawks. Another of the best things in this hack are the little parkour sections, despite there aren't a lot and despite aren't very difficult, these part are very funny. Another great things is the bosses design, the bosses now are more creepy and cool, my favorite is Medusa that look like a real demon and not an old toothless woman in the grip of epileptic seizures. Half a point less because Dracula is the same as the original (winking face). My vote for this hack is 4.5/5 | |||
| A average hack with a little decay in the second half | bogaabogaa | 2017-08-04 | Version 1.0 |
This hack shines in stage one and two. There been a lot of changes to the level layout and the Graphical changes go through the whole game. There went a lot of creativity to make new sprites and blocks. In the beginning, I was hoping it could be a hack that futures a less punishing experience then the original was but the difficulty rises in the second part to the normal one and goes a bit higher then that. I am not a fan of the plan art style here and started to get disappointed from Frankenstein stage on upwards. The stages are very similar/mostly the same as in the original and the Art style went from ok to bad. No new challenge. I would had trouble to recommend this hack to someone specific. It is a bit plain and does not shine in something that is great about it but it is also not bad. Sure with a bit more effort in level design I would change my mind. | |||
| Good hack overall | MathUser2929 | 2016-06-22 | Version 1.0 |
This is a interesting hack for sure. There are a few segments where you'll recognize they didn't change much. Overall the level designs are pretty unrecognizable tho. The new graphics are interesting and make you wonder what the next level will be like. Some of the new enemies are strange. I did like those little toys that replaced igors tho. There are some interesting ideas for the level layout too. Some might say it encourages exploration to see what items there are in the various nooks and crannies. Minus 1 point for not changing Dracula tho. The face was changed but not the body or his second form. | |||
