    Saint Slayer is very much to Castlevania what Shovel Knight was to Mega Man. A simple, pure, and quality experience that, although almost as punishing as the early days of NES side-scrollers, does just enough to make things fun for a lot more people while staying true to the source material. If you revel in Nintendo Hard goodness, this game will be right up your alley. Just don’t expect “Easy” to actually be easy! With some nice features for replayability, fans of classic side scrollers will find this a very worthy purchase that may not be PERFECTLY authentic, but it’s close enough. Casual gamers, however, may find it a bit too frustrating.

    Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege admirably fulfills its purpose: to be an honest and well-executed homage to the games that shaped a generation. The title doesn't try to disguise its influences, and we could even say that this is one of its merits. For veterans, it's a welcome return to a time when games demanded patience, attention, and respect. For newcomers, it's a valuable—and sometimes brutal—invitation to understand why this generation speaks of that era with such nostalgia.
