Eric also has the super jump: an extra high pole vault that is activated by holding down on the Dpad and hitting the jump button. If you're looking for a change of pace, however, Eric uses a spear, which has longer reach, can be thrust in any direction, and which can be twirled above his head in order to deflect projectiles and fend off surrounding enemies. He'll appeal to the Castlevania fan looking for some good old monster whipping action. He can use the whip swing to clear across gaps that Eric can't. John uses a whip, in keeping with the time honored tradition of the series, and can weild it almost as well as a Belmont, but not quite (you can't whip in all eight directions). Instead, we get two new characters: John Morris and Eric Lecarde, two vampire hunters who, as it turns out, are ancestors to the Belmonts. The gameplay is kept classic: sidescrolling, whip snapping action with some light platforming and intense boss fights at the end of each level.īut, some fans may be disappointed to hear that there isn't a single Belmont in this game. Finally, the weapon evolution system thanks to the orange triangles is one of the particular points of the game, which differentiates it from other titles inspired by Metroid or Castlevania.One of the more overlooked titles in the series, Castlevania - Bloodlines is a great counterpart to Super Castlevania 4 for SEGA fans. Once in possession of a missile launcher (with limited ammunition), he can also increase the maximum number of ammunition he carries. Life capsules scattered in the universe can increase his life and facilitate his progression.
The main character improves his abilities in three different ways. It gives access, by teleporters and passages, to the various zones of the universe. It is in this peaceful place that the main characters reside.
The village Mimiga is the center of this space. Indeed, the universe in which the plot takes place, a flying island, is organized in a coherent and open way. The game space is not a linear succession of levels. The end of a level is usually followed by a confrontation with a boss, Balrog being a recurring opponent.
The player controls Quote, a character capable of jumping, using weapons and accessories that he obtains successively during the adventure. The main story is "finished", only little things and bugfixes remain.ĭeveloped by Daisuke Amaya, a Japanese known as Pixel, Cave Story is inspired by two-dimensional classics such as Metroid and Castlevania, namely a mixture of platforming, action and adventure. It should work on any console or emulator. This is a rewrite/port of the popular freeware game Cave Story for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
