Gameplay

Gameplay wise, it's basically a very good Castlevania clone--though we're talking pre Symphony of the Night here so it's not about back tracking though there's plenty to explore in each level.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
Challenge is decent, the difficulty is well balanced at a moderate but not insane level.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

I expected the game's lighting tone to be dark and wet, but it was actually bright in places with brightly colored backdrops, which surprisingly fitted the game's theme perfectly and added a great flavor.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
And the soundtrack--I wasn't expecting to really enjoy that so much, more often than not a soundtrack becomes back ground noise for me the but dark synth and hints of harpsichord elevate the whole experience.
