  • 4

If you guys own the game, you should be pretty surprised by these news.

Its seems the developers hid an extra difficulty mode that was kept a secret until now, the game mode is called "1986 mode" A reference to the 1986 version of Castlevania. For the most part, the difficutly mode disables a lot of the niceties that the game includes to make it more closely resembling the ol' days of difficult NES games.

This mode makes these new changes:

  • No Backflip
  • No Backstep
  • No Slide
  • Mid-air control is reduced
  • Cannot jump off stairs
  • Cannot jump on to stairs
  • Extended whip is not available
  • Cannot stand/crouch mid-whip animation

The way to unlock it consist on going to the "Extra mode" menu then entering the Konami code(↑↑↓↓←→←→ AB) while the "classic mode" option is selected and a new menu screen for it should appear.

You can check the full article here along with a video of how to unlock the mode yourself:
