This also carries over to the unadjustable on-screen controls.ĬASTLEVANIA: SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT MAKES ITS LONG ANTICIPATED DEBUT ON MOBILE FOR iOS, ANDROID Another downside to the controller support is that there is currently no way to remap the layout. I'm definitely excited to see external controllers supported out of the box, though the missing Nvidia Shield support leaves me scratching my head since the game already supports physical controllers. This is why the arrival of Symphony of the Night on Android is a welcome surprise, especially since it's a premium release that forgoes any in-app purchases or advertisements.

However, the fact that Koji Igarashi is the one who created such a highly polished product surely doesn't hurt its position in the history books as the game that started the Metroidvania genre, which has now expanded well beyond the bounds of Metroid and Castlevania. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is highly regarded as one of the best Metroidvania games ever made, mainly because it was the first game in the series to fully embrace exploration-based platforming gameplay (like what you would find in the Metroid series).
