This is a 2D action scrolling platformer which is the ninth installment of the Castlevania original series. Once again you are battling the forces of darkness being controlled by a Dracula to overtake the world. It is your job to mow down your enemies with an arsenal of weapons that include your main weapon a whip that upgrades to a chain whip. The sub weapons are Castlevania staples which include knives, holy water bombs, axes, and crucifixerangs. Many elements to this story are similar to Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, but have less in sub characters to save and use as main characters depending on the path you choose. As with a lot of the earlier titles, gaps to doom can be your enemy if you don't jump at the farthest edge. The ever present medusa head has felled many a hero by knocking them back during a jump. This is a classic loved by many, so don't let it pass your gaming library.
