Technical Issues
The game Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is experiencing technical issues that are spoiling the gaming experience. Players using high refresh rate monitors may encounter black screens, forcing them to adjust their hardware settings to play.

Design and implementation
The character design in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse was carefully thought out by the developers, who stated they are 'very proud' of their work. The characters were designed to be appealing and to fit in with the game's universe. However, the game's execution is imperfect, with passages where the framerate drops noticeably.
The game offers a pleasant gaming experience, with exploration of castles and combat against enemies. Players can use tarot cards to defeat their enemies and progress through the game.

The developers, Evil Empire, have worked hard to provide an enjoyable gaming experience that fits in with the game's universe.
