Aim Carefully!Synduo2018-02-04Version 1.0

This is a interest hack, simply put, still the same classic Castlevania, but now with a gun!

This might sound easy, but it really isn't, you have to play more methodically than you normally would in an already pretty tough game.

Your main challenge will be multiple enemies at a time and Bone Towers are a whole lot more of a threat now unless you master the pistol whip and hit those projectiles. You will need to bring your A-Game when you deal with that as well as bosses who shoot anything at you.

Overall I really enjoyed this hack, I had to play differently than I normally do, and use the sub-weapons wisely in. Best of luck if you continue to another cycle after the credits roll.
