</>What does Game Speed do?
Switch on Change Game Speed and set Game Speed Percent, from 25 for heavy slow motion to 300 for triple speed; it starts at 150. The whole game follows: Rose, enemies, bosses and traps all run at the speed you pick. The game keeps control of its own time effects. Hit pauses and slow-motion moments still happen, scaled to your speed, and the pause menu still freezes everything. The mod only changes speed while you're playing in the castle, never on the menus. Its play clock counts real time, so it keeps ticking at its usual rate whatever speed you choose. Switch the mod off and the game goes straight back to normal speed.
</>What is Game Speed?
Game Speed sets how fast Castlevania: Belmont's Curse runs, from a quarter of normal speed to three times as fast. It works with the game's own time handling instead of fighting it, so hit pauses, slow-motion finishers and the pause menu behave as the developers intended. Slow it down to learn a boss pattern or a saw corridor, then speed it up for the run back to a mirror.
</>Common questions about Game Speed
What does Game Speed do in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse?
It changes how fast the whole game runs while you play, anywhere from 25% to 300% of normal speed. Rose, enemies, bosses and traps all follow the speed you set, and switching it off brings everything straight back to normal.
Does it break the game's own slow motion and pauses?
No. The game changes its own time constantly, for hit pauses, slow-motion finishers and the pause menu. Game Speed scales whatever the game asks for instead of overwriting it, so those effects still play out at your chosen pace, and pausing still freezes everything.
Does it affect the game's play clock?
The game's play clock counts real time, not game time, so it keeps ticking at the same rate whatever speed you choose. That means a faster game gets more done for each minute on the clock, and a slower one less. Bear that in mind if you're going for Dialog Skipper, which asks you to finish within four hours of that clock, because playing at 200% covers ground about twice as quickly while the clock runs as usual.
What options does Game Speed include?
Change Game Speed
Runs the game faster or slower while you play. Switch it off for normal speed.
Game Speed Percent
100 is normal speed. Lower is slow motion for hard jumps and bosses, higher gets you across the castle sooner.
Game Speed is a ProjectMods mod for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse that runs the game from 25% to 300% speed while you play, keeping the game's own pauses and slow-motion effects working.
System Requirements
What features does Game Speed include?
- Game Speed Percent from 25 to 300, in steps of 5.
- Everything in the fight follows: Rose's movement, enemies, bosses and traps.
- The game's own time effects keep working, just scaled to your choice.
- Pausing still stops the game completely.
- Only changes speed while you're playing; menus stay at normal speed.
Best For
- A corridor of saws keeps catching you, so set Game Speed Percent to 50 and learn the timing in slow motion.
- You keep walking back to the same mirror after every attempt, so set it to 200 for the trip and drop it to 100 at the boss door.
- Medusa's patterns are too quick to read, so play the fight at 75 until you know them, then try it at normal speed.
