We have classic monsters and bosses making their return, we have awesome castle shots and we have our corridors back. Like a bat out of hell, Bloodlines ‘Morris Struts’ onto the scene and fixes that immediately. Many of the classic 30’s horror designs had been dropped, traditional powerstanced castle shots were no longer a thing and heck, we even lost that scene setting introductory corridor.

As a result, this game is often overlooked due to being that weird outcast on the Megadrive. John Morris and Eric Lecarde march on Transylvania armed with the Vampire Killer and the mysterious Alucard Spear (yes, that Alucard) to end her nefarious schemes.Ĭastlevania: Bloodlines is the first Castlevania to leave the Nintendo family of home and handheld consoles. As the Great War ravages Europe, Elizabeth Bartley plans to use the worlds suffering to resurrect Dracula once more. With the Belmont’s missing, indirect descendants and other powerful bloodlines took on the mantle of Hunter, and faced Dracula in their stead. Unfortunately the legends of Trevor, Christopher and Simon fell into obscurity as their line faded. Since as early as the 11th Century, the Dark Lord Dracula, master of Castlevania and lord of Vampires had risen and been defeated by the Belmont Clan.

Disclaime r – This review is part of an 9 part series of reviews for the the Castlevania Anniversary Collection for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC.
