Kotaku reviews Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, finding weak platforming and overpowered late combat

Kotaku reviewed Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, which the author finished in 24 hours at 94 percent completion, praising map exploration and spells while finding Rose's controls sluggish and the platforming weaker than peers. The review also says the first boss fight is unusually hard and that late-game power outpaces bosses, which do not scale to the player. Evil Empire and Motion Twin developed the game, released October 15, 2026 on PS5, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch.
