Indie developer S. TALBAIN has just released a new title for the Game Boy Color that is clearly inspired by Konami's Castlevania franchise.
"Step into the decaying world of Kagenovia in Dawnrazor, a brand-new original Game Boy Color title developed for real hardware," says the developer. "Take control of Zedekiah, a betrayed knight reborn through parasitic vampirism, as he fights through blood-soaked ruins and biomechanical horrors."
As you can see from the screenshots, the main sprite looks very much like a NES-era Belmont and even attacks with a whip.
According to its official page, Dawnrazor offers:
- Hardcore 2D action with gothic sci-fi vibes
- Biomechanic abilities – Use Blood Surge or Biomechanic Hearts to survive
- Moral choices – Spare or slay your enemies… and face the consequences
- Authentic visuals, music, and mechanics for Game Boy hardware
