The Inverted Castle served as inspiration for multiple games, such as 2014's Strider and Igarashi's Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The Inverted Castle received generally mixed reception. Some critics, such as those for IGN, GamePro, and Edge felt it was one of the best gaming moments, citing how it is designed to be playable in both orientations. Staff for IGN and The Escapist felt it was an important factor to why Symphony of the Night was so good. Other critics, such as USgamer staff, were more critical; they felt that it was at times tedious and "annoying," though senior editor Kat Bailey found the "meta aspect" fit with the "weird and chaotic" nature of Dracula's Castle.
