GR+ Live: How do you make a classic like Castlevania 3?

  • Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse is one of the best NES games ever made, a master class in action and style that continues to inform killer games today. No Castlevania 3? No Rogue Legacy, no Odallus, and many, many other killer games. But how do you make a game like Castlevania 3 from scratch?
