This game is incredibly difficult. I mastered it after an an insane and incredible amount of frustrating losses, learning exactly how to tap the controller, and before I saved enough money to purchase Dracula X Rondo of Blood, and a Turbo System from someone in Japan. Now I’m so spoiled with Rondo of Blood, that I’d much rather enjoy owning this game in it’s original cartridge form than actually playing it. I probably suck at playing it now. I lost my edge.
This is what happens when you see people go "hey this one fight was kinda too easy" and go way way way too far in the opposite direction just to make it A LITTLE harder.
0:20 perfect spot to grind for one-ups. If you have a turbo controller you can just put a rubber band over the attack button and go do something else. Used to do this back in the day. There is a good spot in Contra III for that too.
I've had better fights with Dracula but then again, that was during newer Castlevania games because as usually, it took alot of patience to kill this character who always teleported, shot projectiles, sent sharp objects after u, talked alot and when he transformed.... U really found out who he was related to lol. Just wished they had better music for him
What an unfathomably boring boss. Even worse, imagine making it to the end just to die by falling into a pit over a simple almost inevitable mistake. Why did they feel the need to change it like this? Horrible design.
