YouTube’s ‘First Serve Gaming’ is currently working on a fan remake of Castlevania 2 – Simon’s Quest in Unreal Engine 5. And, earlier this month, the artist shared a video, showcasing 37 minutes of gameplay from it.
This fan remake will be called Castlevania – Symphony Of Horrors. And, what’s really cool here is that you can already download its latest version.
Do note that since this is a WIP project, it may have some placeholders or glitches. Since it’s not complete yet, it will most likely lack some of the game’s later stages. Still, this is something that you can download and play right now.
As you will see, this is one of the best UE5 fan remakes. Well, that is if you are a retro gamer. More importantly, the remake maintains the 8-bit art style of the original game. So, if you are a fan of the original, you’ll most likely love it. Castlevania – Symphony Of Horrors also uses the same 8-bit sound effects and music from the original.
The remake also has proper gameplay mechanics. Players can fight enemies, use their whip to destroy objects and get items, climb stairs, and do everything that was possible in all the classic Castlevania titles. This feels like a proper fan game. So, don’t sleep on it.
From what I know, Konami has allowed fan remakes of its Castlevania games. Nevertheless, I suggest downloading it while it’s still available. You never know what may happen tomorrow.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, we recommend trying out these other free fan-made demos. You can grab a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE5 Demo. There’s also a fan-made version of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. If you love old-school FPS games, you should check out this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. Don’t also forget the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5 or this free Attack on Titan game. Earlier this month, we also shared a fan remake demo for Legend of Legaia. And last month, we shared a demo of King’s Field 2 in UE5. Finally, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, a remake of Flappy Bird, and a Diablo 2 Remake Demo. They all look awesome, so be sure to give them a try.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
