This Doom Castlevania Mod Whips You Into Shape

Modder Batandy, an Italian fan who is best known for their Doom mods, has released a cool mod that recreates Castlevania in first-person.
Castlevania: Simon's Destiny is a remake of the original Castlevania game in Doom's engine, letting you whip, throw knives, douse enemies in holy water, and all the fun stuff that helped alleviate the frustrations of a Castlevania playthrough. It is a fast-paced, almost character action-like take on Castlevania that is surprisingly faithful to the game's original designs.
Check out the trailer below, which also has links to download the mod in the description. Of course, you need GZDoom first to install the mod.
