Play it Through - Castlevania Adventure Part 3

Hey everyone on this episode of Play it Trough its Castlevania Adventure for the Gameboy. This was the first attempt at a portable Castlevania and it just falls flat. Slow movement and really poor jumping causing many easy deaths makes this game a choir to play at points. The music is solid which is the best thing I can really say about the game. Enjoy!

Pentagrams have 5 corners or angles.

The things on Dracula's walls have 6 corners.

Way to go, Konami!

So it was the Jews all along!jk

Must be tough to be Dracula when you are an important support structure for your own castle.

Am I the only one who actually *liked* this game? Controls aside, I thought it had great level designs & music. I kept coming back to it even though I knew I'd never get very far.

...and weren't slow/rigid character controls sort of the old school Castlevania trademark?

You said this is a short game, but it took you longer to beat this game then Castlevania 1 on the NES

[Luigi84289]

Yup because of the horrible controls. Stiff as hell.

In other words, the hard version of Haunted Castle makes Ghosts 'N Goblins look like a cakewalk... and even that game isn't exactly forgiving either.

There is an easy version that I have managed to beat the one you are talking about is the hard one. It's my lifelong goal to beat that one. You have to be perfect. 1 hit equals half your health gone.

Haunted castle just has stiff controls. Simon walks like he has spinal nerve issues.

[Luigi84289]

Pentagrams have 5 points.

I love Castlevania 64 and it's prequel. Controls aren't that great but the plot and gameplay are great.

If you don't have the Chain whip at least fighting the first boss in that last segment multiples times is MUCH harder.
