Hey guys this is starwars293 with another game review. This time, I am reviewing Castlevania 3 Dracula's curse for the Nintendo Entertainment System, also known as the NES for short. This is a pretty good game. This is one of my three favorite Castlevania games, and here is why.
The game is pretty much the same, right? Wrong. They added one new thing to it. You can now play a second character in the game. There are only three of them. Grant Danasty is one of those three. You meet him at the clock tower stage after you fight him. Grant is a former pirate. His parents were killed by Dracula. Grant wants to help Trevor so he can get revenge on Dracula for killing his parents. Grant uses a dagger for a weapon, and can also climb up walls. The second person is Sypha Belnades. Once you meet Sypha, you want to know, is Sypha a boy, or a girl? Well you find out when you beat the game with Sypha and Trevor. Sypha is a vampire hunter that uses spells. The spells can be pretty useful on the way. Sometimes, you can die when you use a spell at the wrong time. Finally, there is Alucard, son of Dracula. He turned against his father and wanted to help the humans. He wants to defeat Dracula because of his mother, Lisa. It is also because of the way Dracula treated the humans. Alucard can turn into a bat and can shoot fireballs for a main attack.
The graphics are different from the one in the first Castlevania game. If you use the whip, it looks like it's colorful when you whip it. Another one is the sub-weapon sprites. They made an improvement of it. It looks better really. The enemy sprites are also better. I think that those things were the really good improvements.
The enemies are so hard and annoying! You have freaking Medusa heads flying at you, knocking you off to your death. There is also one stage that if you go off the screen, you die. That I find weird. I mean, how is that possible? Well, it's a video game world, right? I mean anything could happen in it. Even a moving screen could kill you.
The bosses are pretty hard. Death now has a second form. It really isn't that hard. It just appears from the other side of the screen when it goes in circles. Dracula now has three forms. His third one isn't that hard really. Some of the bosses are really the same. Just that they have a spirit in them. You have to fight them 2-3 times a believe. Now lets move on the the review.
Graphics-The graphics are great really. Even the sprites for every character and enemies and sub-weapons are pretty good. They are an improvement from the first Castlevania game.
Sound-The sound is really good. Some of the soundtrack fits well with some of the stages, really. They are also catchy. The starting theme called Beginning is really catchy. It's one of the most famous soundtracks and one of the best.
Addictivness-I probably might play it again really. It is a hard game, but it is fun to play really.
Story-In 1476, Dracula rises again to cause mayhem in Transylvania and bring darkness to it. However, there is a hero to stop him. Trevor Belmont of the Belmont Clan. He has to venture to Dracula's castle, fight his minions and meets new allies on the way.
Depth-The game offers new characters, getting to pick your own stage to move on to and other stuff.
Difficulty-This game is hard. It might take a few days to beat it maybe. I had to replay the stages so many times when I die or when it's a game over.
Overall-This is a fun game and a hard game to play really. It is one of the good Castlevania games.
Wrap Things Up-Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse is a fun and hard game to play. I would recommend that you would play this game. You will love it and the whole Castlevania series. If you liked this game, you should go try out the other Castlevania games if I were you.
