I am completely blown away with this game in comparison to all the older Castlevania games. A lot of people are trying to compare this to the Super NES version and even say it’s even inferior, and I think they’re crazy. This has to be the best Turbo Graphics CD game ever made.
This game truly feels like a younger Symphony of the Night before anything else. I started to play through the Super NES version just to do some comparisons and they feel miles apart.
Set in the year 1792, you play as Richter Belmont, a vampire hunter. The dark priest Shaft has kidnapped Annette Renard, Richter’s main love interest, and taken her to Castlevania along with a handful of other female victims. Wielding an ancestral whip imbued with holy powers to crush darkness, Richter heads out into the night alone to rescue the victims and deal out some justice, Belmont style.
