As with Gradius ReBirth and Contra ReBirth, Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth isn't as much a new beginning for the franchise as it is a distillation of the core concepts and gameplay mechanics that make a game a Castlevania game. It's two hours or so of pure, old-school Castlevania, and that should be more than enough to remind old fans how far they've come while giving new players a crash course on vampire slaying the Belmont way. -
