Castlevania: Overflow Darkness (CV1 Hack) - No Death Walkthrough

[@SemiJuggaloNumber2]

This is the best Castlevania hack I've ever seen! I especially love all the new sprites used in this hack, some of them are from Simon's Quest, while most of them are brand new customs! I really love Simon's sprite, which is now an awesome 8-bit version of Ayami Kojima's Simon design from Castlevania Chronicles! Oh, and Dracula looks freaking sweet!

[@retro3188]

Sweet artwork and bosses! I love the new layouts as well!

[@melon6444]

Words can't describe how much I love the little 8 bit Chronicles Simon sprite

[@buttering0]

this man is doing what is known as a *Pro Gamer Move*

[@HiddenSofa]

Oh man what a hack! The redrawn sprites were pretty awesome, especially Draculas second form. Though, Medusa didn't have the same impact on me with the original one. Those soulless eyes of hers always scared me as a kid. Nice run, nice run indeed. Some of those levels(4 and up)looked like a major pain in the butt.

[@Koops2245]

Wowee, this fan game really captures the tight level design of the classic games: it really make ya feel tense throughout~ The boss fight adjustments and replacements sport improved combat mechanics and I even like the soundtrack rearrangement-!! My favourite design choice is the constant pressure placed on the player by a mix of enemy types cooperating to oppose the player at once. The colour palette is a rather strange mix between the bright contrast of the 1st game and the dullness of the 2nd, and there seems to be a reliance on the Bone Tower enemies + stairs, + pits, + Medusa Head formula, which might dullen this short experience for some. I'm thoroughly amazed by this project, I hope the designer is proud of it~ If only my friends and I could conveniently purchase this physically.

[@patonoki5294]

One of the best CV1 hacks/mods I ever seen so far!!!…. Great Work!

[@Favourites669]

You went through this thing like it was a walk in the park. Hats off to you sir.

[@ivanhenley]

That's certainly one of the more creative hacks I've seen, I'll say that. Looks a might too challenging for my taste, but good job on that walkthrough.

[@Freddyfan1428]

Pretty damned impressive hack! Great gameplay and some really inventive new bosses! Kudos to you for playing through this with no deaths, too! I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been trying to navigate some of the pitfall areas with those damned Medusa Heads flying about.

[@blackthorn956]

The best hack I've seen of Castlevania. For some reason though, that main character sprite feels like a boss character.

[@enidesouzabarros8852]

It was based on simon's design from Castlevania chronicles arrange mode.

[@duffman18]

I appreciate that that's what they're going for, but that look already kinda sucked in chronicles. It made him look half naked. Why would you take off armour when you're going into battle. What you gonna do, seduce Death with your juicy sexy thighs? The other look, in the normal mode of Chronicles, looks much better

[@angelobelmont9379]

@@duffman18 Simon's thigh's are also thick on his original design.....

[@ArekTheDragon]

Overflow Darkness and Chorus of Mysteries. Can't choose between these two.

[@robbiezampini-is3en]

0:06: Game Start

[@zombiejlt1]

Anyone else notice that the soundtrack to the first half of this game mirrored the same playlist of the Castlevania song by the Minibosses? That was pretty neat. Also, I like how they incorporated Simon's red look from Castlevania Chronicles, the sprite looks good.

[@antonio.3432]

This is basically Castlevania 1 with Chronicles Simon and music changed places EDIT: Still very awesome

[@SirJimmers1]

As a big fan of the original Castlevania, I am impressed! A challenge, even for the most, veteran Castlevania fans, like myself! Really awesome!

[@nesking3115]

This is the best CV rom hack ..

[@keithforce1470]

holy water you can walk through enemies and bosses before effect wears off so you don't get cornered. other castlevania game you can't. but very useful.

[@bayumahendra1797]

This is just CV1 with improvement in level spike and combat

[@TheJimmyleeboy2]

nice !!!!! this is one of the best CV hack I ever seen !!!!! I'll download this.

[@robbiezampini-is3en]

2:44: Area Clear

[@Ry0Hawk]

Hmm, maybe they could have used this Simon in Harmony of Despair, they used the red-haired Simon's picture in there after all..

[@oxidmedia]

the palette is awesome. i hated to play CV 1-3 because of the psychedelic color mix... this seems solid and well thought. the layouts are also hardcore. me gusta!

[@Andinus3000]

The final boss graphics are like 1000 times cooler than "the cookie monster". A gigantic vampire bat skeleton is what is should have been in the first place!

[@The_Murphy_Channel]

Dracula looks freakin awesome in both of his forms! I wouldve love those 2 in the original game instead...

[@mannyrivera2007]

Game is really awesome. Ya did a great job on that hack.

[@jonathanwpressman]

Graphics are gorgeous!

[@Epsilonsama]

This hack makes CV3 like a cake walk.

[@gonzisonsbc]

CV3 is the only one I haven't finished. So freaking hard.

[@wonderboybobi9746]

This is a professional remake! THe best hack i know

[@ultimacj]

I will never get it why players deliberately avoid all the candles or get any hearts guess that's one way of saying "Yo I'm pro yo!"

[@ChronoTrigger12]

well, if you are speed running, hiting candles takes like a second. Also you don't want to get a sub weapon that's not suitable for the stage.

[@SwordfighterRed]

Dracula X also allowed you to pick up your previous subweapon, which was nice if you changed your mind or whatnot.

[@Ieatpaste23]

"Would not forgotten ever." :)

[@SiX2FiV3]

good to see the CVChronicles versions and Simon and Dracula in this!

[@phuturephunk]

I honestly gotta say...This doesn't look that bad from a difficulty standpoint. Actually, it looks really well balanced between taxing and enjoyable so that you don't have to be some twitch master to get through it. I like that. In this day an age with stuff like Super Meat Boy and Kaizo Mario, having modders come together to make a balanced, yet difficult, game, is nice.

[@PharoahsKingdom]

Didn't know any Castlevania 1 hacks existed. Going to down these. Are there any available for Android? Also is the Castlevania 2 & 3 hacks as well?

[@chisoxfan708]

Dracula looks like Danzig

[@Fighting1Wanderors1]

Dracula looks like Doom 3 final boss.....

[@TheMisterGuy]

Oh my god, this looks awesome.

[@alpineracerr]

Arek whats the best CV hack of them all in your personal opinion?

[@doublebass1985]

hey does anyone know what kind of level editor they used to make this hack?

[@kirbypufocia]

+doublebass1985 never heard of it but it said it was made with Stake Editor in the credits

[@MrBigred1982]

Just completing the game in the first place is a major achievement in its self, (slow clap) but doing it in less than 25 mins..... GG my friend..... GG! 🤘🏻

[@Rassenomatjutut]

With the fact this hack uses version of Simon from Chronicles, it would've been nice if Simon's Theme had played on first or final level.

[@HelloFade2]

The first boss of this game kind of reminds of me those things from Metroid. "Rios i believe they're called.

[@jaap7624]

I am trying to play castlevania overflow darkness on my everdrive, but no matter what i try, when i enter the castle the screen turns black and the music keeps playing the same single note. Anyone here has any idea what i could try?

[@IllmatikRebelTV]

i definitely would love to play this game. cool

[@iJerseyDevil]

This is one of the most ludicrously difficult games I've ever played. Can't even get past Stage 5 (the second level).

[@RileySkye100]

You had a real close call there at 12:35.

[@MagicMadman24]

I think this is how it should have looked back in the day.

[@wicked1rish]

how do u play this file once its downloaded?

[@horseblinderson4747]

If it's a dot rom extension you'll need an NES emulator.

[@alexyezwesker4738]

Congratulations one and the most original remake I've ever seen in my life deserves to be called Castlevania HD remastered

[@Brandon_519]

It isn't a remaster nor is it HD

[@JoeScottakaEpsitec]

Where can I download>

[@Horrorfreak106]

Great hack, I just wish that the creator put different music like some from the 1st castlevania game but others from like CV2 or CV3 then it would have been awesome :)

[@arthursnyder6424]

That sort of happened during the last two stages from Super Castlevania IV though

[@nomadscorpio]

Looks awesome. Does not look easy, that's for sure. ;)

[@Nyoreny]

If you were to not put "No Death Walkthrough" on your title, it would have made this even more exiting on the suspenseful parts.

[@FreeArtFreestheWorld]

Could you link me a download of this? Not the IPS file which I try to use then it crashes after the first screen.

[@ramongiovane]

Level design seems pretty unforgiving, but at leasst they fixed the Death battle, because on the original version you just don't have enough room to fight without using the holy water cheat.

[@ArekTheDragon]

@TheOriginal3P Not much use in it. Only if I wanted to get more hearts, but there was no need in that.

[@videomechanix]

I was wondering what are and the names of the new bosses?

[@PsychoFactory]

where can i get this?

[@Matthew6418]

I know after watching someone elses walkthrough that fifth boss may be harder than death. He makes it look simple.

[@NanayaRay01]

Chiapas 2011? like in Mexico? also, that's one handsome Dracula

[@thepastisalive6685]

Good job!

[@AozoraOrigami]

what is the bgm?

[@2199]

Looks nice. Where can I buy this?

[@StormCrow95]

You can find carts of it on Etsy, like I did at some point.

[@ConspiracyBytes]

rock star belmont

[@arthursnyder6424]

It's actually an 8-bit version of Simon's design from Castlevania Chronicles

[@2199]

What did this come out? What system?

[@Guy-mx4fb]

2199 is a hack, there are people that will get a game, and then edit some stuff and create an entirely new game, then they reproduce it on nes,snes cartriges

[@nakano15]

[@baigandinel7956]

Castlevania 1 hacks make a lot of sense, because Konami are always remaking that game anyway.

[@rebeldog5567]

Dracula at the end was too easy !!...The demon he turns into all he did was jump !!...Hell at least at the end of the original Castlevania the vampire demon breathed fire balls and he was a hell lot more terrifying !!! That little thing they had him turn to was a wimp !!!

[@ArekTheDragon]

+cleve stuckey Final boss in this hack breathes fireballs as well. But, just like in original game he never uses this attack if you do not stay too far away from him after he jumps.

[@Azdrerios]

ArekTheAbsolute The hack author should've fixed that, then. He was able to add two new bosses to the game, so why not make Dracula a little more challenging, as well

[@lazercrotch9839]

Neat-o!

[@belmont7323]

Hecho en México. Madre mia guili

[@jamesmanoukian8091]

Is there a way I can play this for myself? yeah this hack makes all the other cv nes games look pathetic.

[@stroopatroopa]

yes, extremely difficult...beats it in one try with no deaths

[@goex4881]

2 things : a) the second level its just more harder than level 3 and 4 maybe...... and the music.... the songs are in a real BADDDDDD order....... anyway , good hack

[@theforestero]

Way better dracula...and demon form...much improved.

[@nakano15]

The credit is surelly better than the original, instead of making puns of horror movie director names, It actually have shown the consequences, aswell as made It feel like as if it was only the beggining.
