Five Tips for a Better Time With Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, developed by Evil Empire, includes gameplay settings that let players adjust damage, experience gains, boss-door respawns and healing potions without simply turning off death. Map room colors signal undiscovered secrets—brown for completed rooms, purple for rooms with something left—and players get 50 map markers to place. Spells earned from bosses can be upgraded through Works of Mercy side-quests, and defeating the Notre Dame boss early shuts down its lasers everywhere, easing platforming challenges.
