    It's Dead Cells! It's Castlevania! Need I say more? A great homage to a great, often now overlook franchise.

    A gorgeous, fantastic, addctive, and memorable love letter to the classic Castlevania games, especially Symphony of the Night. Everytime this game is mentionned is a big win for me.

    Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania is a very welcome addition to Dead Cells that is a lot more than just a simple fan service.

    The stages have glorious visuals and the iconic soundtrack from Castlevania is reimagined through some delightful remixes on Dead Cells style. The new weapons make combat very powerful and exploration of Dracula's castle very exciting.
    I very strongly recommend it.    … Expand

    원작을 보완하는 훌륭한 DLC. 초반에 진입하는 맵과 후반에 진입하는 맵이 달라 다양한 경험을 제공해주고 캐슬배니아의 등장인물들과 요소들이 자연스럽게 어우러졌다.
    숨겨진 요소들도 여럿 있었고 추가된 무기들의 성능은 아쉬운 부분들이 있지만 독특한 컨셉들이 좋았다.

    Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania is an excellent DLC that does exactly what it promises: it brings some Castlevania into Dead Cells, but in a smart way that appeals to everyone, although it's mainly designed to satisfy fans of Konami's series.

    The crossover of my dreams is made exactly like Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, an expansion that embellishes the formula of the base game by incorporating a massive dose of references and content taken from one of the most beloved videogame sagas of all time.
