    We do, however, have to call out the inclusion of classic Dracula actor Bela Lugosi. The dude shows up once, right at the end of the game with the final encounter. His likeness is limited to just two static pixel-art images, one of which can even be seen in the game’s trailer. Giving the iconic horror actor top billing is certainly eye-catching, but goodness, it feels like such a wasted opportunity.

    Carpathian Night is a heartfelt homage to the original Castlevania games, offering a nostalgic 8-bit experience. While Bela Lugosi's inclusion feels more like a marketing gimmick than a meaningful addition, the game is well-crafted and sure to delight fans of retro platformers, particularly those who hold fond memories of Castlevania on the NES.
