‘Castlevania’ Fans Should Check Out Fan Tribute ‘Simon Quest: Transylvania Adventure’
So, you’ve crushed the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, and have completed the excellent spiritual successor to the Castlevania series in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Yet still, you want more? Lucky for you, indie programmer Programancer is working on a Castlevania tribute of their own. Specifically, the quirky second entry in the series, Simon’s Quest!
Simon Quest: Transylvania Adventure has taken elements from Castlevania II, tossed in elements from other entries in the series, and put together something that should bring a smile to fans.
The game is still being worked on, but Programancer says that a demo should be available in a couple of weeks. And if you’re interested in helping the guy out, you can chip in a few bucks on their ko-fi account, or by following him on Twitter.
For those who haven't seen it- Simon Quest: Transylvania Adventure is a work in progress parody/homage to ClassicVanias~
Convoluted hints, mansions, and a time system that doesn't make you wait.
Demo coming in a couple weeks!#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/W05ZaX1tje

‘Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered’ Announced for Consoles and Steam [Trailer]
Atari is reaching back for fans of the classic GameCube and Xbox fighter Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee with a remastered edition that’s coming November 3 to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch 2. The PS5 and Switch 2 will also be receiving physical versions that you can pre-order now.
“There is a real sense of responsibility that comes with working on Godzilla, especially with a fan-favorite title like Destroy All Monsters Melee,” explains Atari chief creative officer Mike Mika. “It is only natural that Atari, as the original publisher in 2002, would partner with Pipeworks, the original developer and kaiju experts to bring their creation back to center stage—bigger, better and more destructive than ever.”
The ultimate kaiju arena brawler is back, completely remastered. From Atari and original developer, Pipeworks, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered updates the 2002 fighter with enhanced visuals and quality of life improvements. Choose from one of twelve monsters, and battle it out with a range of brutal attacks through 8 locations, each with day and night variations. Battle through real-world cities, Monster Island, and the alien Mothership. Face off against your friends in local co-op or new online multiplayer.
Along with the updated visuals, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered also features gameplay updates, as well as an improved unlock system, so you can unlock monsters, locations, and gallery items in any order you choose.
