Classic Castlevania that I missed the first time around
Growing up as a Nintendo fanboy in the 80s and 90s, I never gave Sega a fair shake. When a Castlevania game was announced for the Genesis (along with Contra: Hardcorps), I dismissed it as what could only be an inferior product, especially when compared to the legendary Super Castlevania IV--how wrong I was!
While graphically this isn't quite up to par with what the SNES could produce, there are still some staggering effects on display here, from the reflective waters of the sunken temple to the rotating climb up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It's also noteworthy that this is the Castlevania debut of Michiru Yamane, the composer who would go on to score Symphony of the Night, Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness, and several of the handheld entries later on (so you know to expect a great soundtrack). Gameplay is dead on with its NES cousins, and in many ways, this is a more appropriate sequel to Castlevania III than SCV4 was.
If you're on the fence, check it out, you won't be disappointed!
