An homage to old-school 8-bit Castlevania

'Brave Earth: Prologue' is a game from the creator of 'I Wanna Be The Guy', which also is an 8-bit game with levels from Mega Man, Zelda, Metroid, Ghosts N Goblins and many more...
Remember "I Wanna Be The Guy" (http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/index.php)? That game is a tribute to the 8-bit era with level designs and a great musical selection from classic games like Mega Man, Zelda, Metroid and Ghosts N Goblins. The game is free to download (http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/downloads.php), BTW.
Well, game creator Michael O'Reilly is developing a new one called Brave Earth: Prologue, which is an homage to old-school Castlevania!
According to Michael's earliest remarks, the game was supposed to be a "Metroidvania," but from the screens, it's shaping up to have more in common with the classical style. Not that I mind either way, but it'll be refreshing to go back to basics.
Despite being rendered in "8-bit," the art is very detailed and the sprite animations are very fluid.
This one is releasing soon on Steam and other services for $5.
Check out how it looks below!
