This hack adopts the perspective of Juste Belmont’s friend and rival, Maxim Kischine.
The linear plot of the game remains true to the original, but with Maxim’s tale being the central focus while Juste takes a secondary role. However, Juste is still playable as an extra character in the same way Maxim was initially.
Certain items have been tweaked to suit Maxim over Juste. In the same manner, Maxim does not have access to certain items that Juste normally would. For example, the only sub weapons Maxim can utilize are the knife, axe and shuriken. And, as in the original, these gain magical properties when paired with Spell Books.
There are two patches for this hack.
The first contains the new story with the original palettes for everything. This is included for the Castlevania “purist” who desires a canonical feel for the hack.
The second, and preferred patch to use, showcases many palette changes that gives a much more detailed and appropriate feel for the game, itself. This version also removes the outlines to the main characters and causes them to not be so pronounced.

Awesome work! Max getting attention he deserves, game feels much better from his PoV due to basically being made for him to begin with. Personality swaps during the story are great, as well as endings. Bad ending is actually BAD this time, which is another great thing of this mod.

I really feel like Max should have been the main to begin with. It would have given a more SOTN feel, which the game was obviously going for, by focusing on a non-belmont hero. Juste mode could be Richter mode. I forget my family tree, but isn't Juste Richter's grand father?

However, due to Juste being only 18 in 1748, it is in fact a possibility that he could've held off on being a dad until 1773, which is Richter's birth year. Unusual for the time period, perhaps. But still a possibility

My thoughts exactly, Max feels like a main character in HoD, while Juste is like a guest from outside. Let alone the fact Max is the one turning the wheels, he is making story events along his evil self.

I’ve played it and I found that I got stuck in a room that has a lever that cause flooding after beating Golem in Luminous Cavern. I couldn’t hit the lever and when jumping to the top i can’t even go further. Can someone be able to fix it?

Up+Jump button and have Maxim flip on to the switch.

You did jump kick, not somersault. That is why it's not working. I finished the game & all works fine.

I am Me is correct, the video is showing you try with a Jump Kick, which is Down + Jump.
Somersault is Up + Jump as previous posted.
Just in case, for anyone who isn’t aware of the move, Maxim will do a rolling flip like Blanka in Street Fighter or Samus in Metroid.

I did it and it worked! Thanks sorrow and I am Me! Oh I also have a question: Can Maxim be able to do a high jump when obtained Griffin’s Wing? I haven’t obtained it but I still asking just in case because in Maxim Mode in original Hod Maxim can’t high jump but can perform a triple jump so in this Story Mode Hack can he perform both moves?

Hello, no he does not get that ability. He will end up with his moves from the original Maxim mode.
