Oh.You're confusing games, the game you're thinking of is Castelvania: Bloodlines which featured a Lecarde playable character.
The Lecarde Chronicles is also a a fan made game developed by MIG.
Alright. I'm in.
But there better be wall chicken and a whip in there somewhere!
Looks very '90s PC game' instead of like any Castlevania. Perhaps a bit like AD X68K I guess.
Might take a look.
Okay, I played through the intro and this is really fun, videos of it don't do it justice. Controls are tight, music is great and the voice acting is surprisingly decent. It's pretty much a way better playing Castlevania 2 with a map layout like the later games in the series.
I assume that's Belgrade narrating the intros?
The art quality is really uneven. It's like some things are NEs quality, some are X6000 quality, some are SNES quality and so on. Can't knock it since it's a fan game so whatever,Something janky about the animation to me for some reason. Can't place it but I just don't like the aesthetics at all.

Gave this a try and maybe its just my pc (trying it on my laptop) but the controls seems terrible. Kinda laggy input and I had to use joy2key since it wouldn't work with my controller.
Movement is painfully slow too. I guess it's supposed to be similar to the slowness of classicvanias but I'm just too used to SoTN and those after it.
How large is it compared to the DS games per say?
Would be nice if Konami published this and cleaned it up some so we can get a downloadable console release. They really should look towards what Sega did with Sonic Mania
A vanillaware developed castlevania with iga as the director is the dream.
Yes.A vanillaware developed castlevania is the dream.
No.with iga as the director
Some of the areas in this game is giving me Cadash flashbacks for some odd reason:
So I ended up getting really sucked in last night and played for about 3 hours. This game is really atmospheric and beautifully done so far as far as I'm concerned and especially so for a fan game. If this had been released commercially, I would've been in the preorder line.
I think it looks great in motion and I have a real soft spot for the 'adventure' feel of it all, the traveling through forests to different locations like in Castlevania 2, the town, I love that kind of stuff. The music and sound effects are great and very atmospheric, a crucial part to any Vania title for me, and areas have been quite creative and well-realized with cool little gimmicks like climbable wells and switches etc. strewn around.
I've downed about 4 or 5 bosses so far and they were very well done, quite tough but fair with clear-cut, recognizable patterns.
Bottom line is I think this game rules and I'm hooked. I would've easily dropped $20 on this if it had been retail and I think every Castlevania fan burnt by Konami's bullshit treatment of the franchise owes it to themselves to check this out. It's a great game based on my time with it and definitely doesn't need a 'for a fan game' disclaimer.
I'm almost close to the end now, about 90% done, and the game honestly gets better and better the more you progress. The game has 3 endings by the way. Feels like a retail game, I'd easily pay 30-40 for it.
