Player's Review
Platformer by Konami.
Follow a hunter d00d with a whip as he sets out on an adventure to defeat Batman. Who is revived. Again!
Gameplay is just the first game: go through a stage, hit candles, get hearts and stuffs, get to the end, fight a sp00py boss. Unlike the first game, this one has multiple characters you can recruit on your adventure as well as branching paths which can determine the overall difficulty of the adventure. Unlike the kinda messy US version (Castlevania III), this game is overall easier: some bosses can be cheese/easier to defeat because no platform to get you and enemy damage overall is the same regardless of level, though some enemies do get a bump up in damage depending on stage progress or playing in Second Quest. That medusa head doing 3 damage will not be doing 4 damage in later levels! There's also a thing involving a sound chip so music quality is different from the US version because American Nintendo were kinda idiots back then. (essentially something about cartridges and American Nintendo not allowing folks to make their own cartridges or something. 80s and 90s video gaming is a mess, but I digress!)
This longplay NOSKILLS the game and spams Holy Water and Crosses because Holy Water can be REALLY cheesy on bosses and Cross can put in a lot of work on some enemies. My original plan was to do a playthrough and get a partner for every playthrough of Second Quest but that didn't work when I found out I can't recruit on Second Quest. lol Instead, I go through the game many times (solo Ralph, Grant, Alucard, Sypha) and do a "loop" of the route played during Second Quest.
