Maplevania  - Image 1What do you get when you mix the characters of MapleStory and Castlevania, combine them together for a really cool beat em up homebrew game? Well, it's Maplevania of course! An OpenBOR mod courtesy of homebrew coder NickyP.

Developer's note:

What happens when you cross MapleStory and Castlevania, then make a beat em up out of it? Well... this! This was sort of an idea that put itself together over time. I love Castlevania games and always wanted to do something in BOR about it. I love Maplestory's sprites and always wanted to do something in BOR about it. It wasn't until one day that a friend of mine showed me a screenshot of MapleStory, one of the players was holding a whip as a weapon. It was then that the lightbulb in my head turned on, and Maplevania was born (thanks Rob)! It originally started out as a joke/parody mod, but as development went by I took it more seriously, and in my opinion it turned out pretty well!


For more info about the release, please check the README provided in the download.

» Hey QJ?

Quick question: why did you guys just upload a notepad file with my download link? It doesn't bother me really, as users can still get the files, but I'm curious now lol You guys did that for MM: Power War too.



Thanks for posting about it, by the way!

For some reason I generally hate the Maple Story sprites. The monsters are ok usually but the playable character sprites nearly always look like crap and have faces I want to cover up with a mask.

Wow it's so awesome. Reminds me of little fighter 2.0



I would want the sword hitbox to be bigger, a different butt for loot and special moves that can be done. And adhoc multiplayer



I always wanted lf2 on psp =P

» About adhoc...

Adhoc multiplayer in OpenBOR is something I want just as much as you. Unfortunately that's not my department, I just make the mods.



Think of it like a rom-emulator deal. I'm the guy that makes the roms, SX and the others make the emulators. Even if a rom supports 4 players, it doesn't really matter if the emulator doesn't.



That said, currently the PSP OpenBOR doesn't support multiplayer of any kind. Dreamcast, Windows, and pretty much all of the other platforms however do.
