You know this game? Good.
You love this game? Great.
You don't know about it? I'm so sorry to hear about that, you don't know what you're missing.
OK kiddies and newbies, to the front of the class.
As a fan of Castlevania; I strongly advise you to play this game, it is one of the greatest creations in the history of Video Games.
Synopsis: "It is the year 2035 a.d, exchange student Soma Cruz heads with his friend "Mina Hakuba, the daughter of a shrine priest" in Japan to the shrine she usually goes to, this time they entered the area they least expected; "the lunar eclipse", the location where the real castle of Dracula is sealed in. Soma meats some people and gain alliance with, what a certain agent "Genya Arikado" sees how Soma absorbed a soul of one of the monsters which attacked him he suspected a secret within the young man, a very dark secret Soma Cruz must uncover by himself to save himself and his friends"
Most of the 2D Castlevania video games are played by characters with linear attacks, either by a vampire slaying whip or a spear, you need heart emblems you can collect to recharge your magic power.
This game is different in the following points:
1. You can change your weapon and body armor
2. You gain upgrades hidden you need to release to use them
3. You can control spirits of the monsters you defeat to use for your own good
4. Your MP recharges automatically but slowly, you can still take hearts to quicken up the MP increase
5. Finish the game and open a new saving file typing "Julius" to play with "Julius Belmont" the vampire hunter
6. Finish the game the good ending and you'll unlock "Boss Rush Mode" & "Sound Test", the soundtracks are very catchy and highly pleasing
. So far this is my favorite Castlevania game; I rate it with a perfect 10.
. If you can't find it solo then buy the Castlevania Double pack, it is there with a previous Castlevania game.
. The sequel to this game "Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrows" is available for the Nintendo DS, I strongly recommend it
