More of not-castlevania platformer!

Pretty much everything that you may enjoy (faithful graphics, challenge) and hate (knockback and pits) from the 1st game applies here as well.
The only changes that come to mind are:
- CotM2 seems more difficult than CotM1 (corgi does simplify platforming, yet still around half-point game gets significantly harder)
- more enemies with some returning ones
- checkpoints made more obvious
- more character building and story bits (in 8bit style so it's rather minimalistic)
- (purely subjective) the soundtrack in 1st game was slightly more memorable

All in all a fun and challenging game for folks to relive their childhood gaming experiences (and grievances..).

PS: oh, is it better than CotM1? I'd say yes, but only marginally, if you're on the fence about getting into it, pick the cheaper one.
