This Castle is a Creature of Chaos...StarWyvern2019-12-15Version 1.2

The best hack yet of this set! The layout, route, enemy placement, difficulty, and palette changes are what make this hack feel, really, like a whole new Castlevania!

To what is already my favorite game series to date, this is a welcome revision. Anyone who wants a reason to replay AOS, here you go. Replay value of this game is one of the highest yet. PLAY THIS HACK!

Thanks Ikusatatsu! Do more please.

Worth the five hours you run trough the castle.tvtoon2018-02-18Version 1.1

A very interesting romhacking for this game, at the beginning things may look like harder than the original stuff, but as soon as you realize that bosses can be beaten infinitely (probably to collect their souls), it becomes a walk in the Eden.

Most repositioning is trivial but the items and the Clock Tower became the interesting point. It is worth mentioning that the author changed the random rooms scheme from the Floating Garden, the important part is at the top left of the map. ;)

The most annoying stuff is not on main game, but left for BOSS RUSH, where you face Balore the same way as in the game, capping your time severely.
