Chronicles of the Wolf is a tribute to Konami’s 16-bit Castlevania

Castlevania fans, here’s something cool for you. Last month, PQube and PixelHeart released a new game called Chronicles of the Wolf. This game is inspired by the old 16-bit Castlevania games. So, if you like this particular genre, you should definitely give it a try.

In Chronicles of the Wolf, you play as Mateo Lombardo. Your mission is to hunt the legendary Beast of Gévaudan. You’ll explore big castles, fight tough bosses, and find hidden secrets. The game aims to mix fast action, tricky areas to explore, and a dark, exciting story.

Players will talk to people in the world, find strong weapons, and solve tricky puzzles. They will also unlock cool new powers that help them explore the big, connected world in their own way. Along the journey, they’ll fight tough bosses that will really test their skills.

As you will see in the trailer, this looks like Super Castlevania IV for SNES. Not only that, but guest star Bloodless from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will make a special appearance.

I should also note that there is a demo you can download to play before purchasing it. For our KB&M fans, there is a small issue, though. Apparently there was a bug that could prevent players from using a mouse and keyboard after reloading a game save. To fix it, the devs have completely removed support for keyboard and mouse. Right now, there is no ETA on when we’ll get proper KB&M controls. So, make sure to have a controller to play it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to.

These past couple of days we’ve shared a some other cool old-school titles. Just a few hours ago, we informed you about the release date of Old School Rally. Then we have Pulsebreaker. This is a retro survival horror game inspired by PS1 classics like Resident Evil and Fear Effect. In June, we also informed you about Super Woden: Rally Edge. Super Woden: Rally Edge is a new racing game, inspired by SEGA Rally and Neo Drift Out.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
