Authentic classic Castlevania-style gameplay with challenging yet rewarding difficulty that appeals to fans of retro platformers.
Detailed pixel art and atmospheric gothic visuals that successfully evoke a nostalgic old-school vibe.
Engaging boss battles with pattern recognition that feel satisfying, complemented by some well-designed music tracks enhancing the mood.

Level design is repetitive, with excessive backtracking and enemy variety is limited, leading to a bland and tedious experience.
Controls and movement feel stiff and sometimes imprecise, causing frustrating moments such as blind jumps and knockback issues.
The game suffers from amateurish writing and poor presentation including typos, clunky character portraits, and forgettable or unpleasant music.

The music in the game is generally seen as competent and fitting the gothic, Castlevania-inspired atmosphere, with some praising its detail and mood-setting qualities. However, many reviewers find the soundtrack forgettable, lacking memorable or standout tracks, and feel it does not reach the iconic energy or excitement of classic Castlevania soundtracks. Overall, while not bad, the music often falls short of elevating the gameplay experience.
- “From its very first moments, it wears its Castlevania inspiration proudly on its sleeve, with everything from its whip-based combat and eerie soundtrack to its grim setting echoing the spirit of Konami’s classic series.”
- “The soundtrack is equally evocative, blending organ-heavy gothic melodies with tense percussion, amplifying the sense of danger and adventure at every step.”
- “The art and music are the high point of the game, showing a level of detail in pixel art comparable to great titles, and the music fits perfectly to convey the entire atmosphere of the game.”
- “Well that and the terrible music.”
- “Seriously, who made the music?”
- “The soundtrack is the one aspect of the game that wasn't created by the developer but the songs are very forgettable and are lacking in excitement and energy.”

The gameplay is a faithful homage to classic Castlevania-style side-scrolling action platformers, featuring challenging but rewarding mechanics, exploration, and combat with traditional whip and sub-weapon use. While controls can be slightly imprecise with minor glitches, the game successfully evokes a nostalgic retro experience, though its unforgiving difficulty and some flaws may limit its appeal to fans of the genre seeking a tough, authentic challenge.
- “The setup is deliberately simple—a hero versus the vampire lord—but it succeeds in evoking the dark fantasy energy of the late 80s and early 90s, when such straightforward premises served as the perfect framework for punishing yet rewarding gameplay.”
- “The game sticks to traditional side-scrolling mechanics, combining exploration and combat as you journey through haunted castles, crypts, and eerie landscapes.”
- “This is a fantastic fanmade Castlevania game, getting the style and the gameplay right to the core while filling in their own flare like the character portraits.”
- “Lots of pitfalls, barebones gameplay and ideas taken from the first Castlevania games.”
- “The gameplay is standard as far as side-scrolling action platformers go but the controls are a bit imprecise and there are a few glitches throughout the game, though none are game-breaking.”
- “And this stupid mechanic when enemy hits throw you away.”

The story centers on Xandria, an alchemist on a mission to confront Dracula, offering a basic but serviceable plot with some intriguing lore that sets up a sequel. While the narrative includes twists and character interactions that add depth beyond typical Castlevania-like fare, its writing feels amateurish and the protagonist is seen as unlikable and overly powerful, limiting character growth. Overall, the story is decent but somewhat underdeveloped, mainly serving as a foundation for future installments.
- “The story follows Xandria, a member of the Iron Alchemists, who ventures deep into the cursed lands of Transylvania to confront Dracula himself after a string of brutal murders and mysterious alchemical rituals.”
- “The plot about the Iron Alchemists, Dracula, and the mysterious “Toziuha” adds a layer of intrigue without overstaying its welcome.”
- “The story revolves around the adventure to slay Dracula which is ultimately used to set the stage for the game's planned sequel, Toziuha Night: Order of the Alchemists, a metroidvania that delves further into the main character's backstory and expands on the world-building and lore.”
- “The story and dialog is written in a very amateurish way.”
- “I found the main character to be unlikeable as she is selfish to a fault, arrogant (which is backed by her plot armor), and a bit too aloof.”
- “Despite being a newly-trained member of her organization, her backstory gives her immense latent powers that allow her to overcome the challenge of the game without much issue, stunting any possibility of struggle and character growth.”

The graphics are primarily praised for their retro-inspired pixel art style reminiscent of the GBA/DS Castlevania games, featuring well-animated sprites, effective use of color, and a dark fantasy aesthetic. While some updates have improved character sprites and overall visuals, opinions vary slightly due to certain design choices like anime-style characters and faceless sprites, but overall the graphics are considered polished and visually pleasing.
- “The pixel graphics are good with very good uses of color especially the color red and good level design, character and enemy designs too, it's quite visually pleasing and with some good animation as well.”
- “It looks extremely well-polished in every aspect and it appears as if the developer has really improved their programming and artwork skills.”
- “This runs very slowly, controls are terrible, graphics are even worse, completely negative experience.”
- “The graphics use pixel art to paint a retro dark fantasy look for the levels as well as the sprites which end up being very reminiscent of the GBA era of Castlevania games; however, the sprites have no faces which is quite eerie to look at.”
- “The visuals are not too outstanding but serviceable.”
