Super Castlevania IV

released on Oct 31, 1991
by Konami

A remake of Castlevania

A century of Transylvanian tranquility is about to come to a shocking end. Once again the mortifying screams of helpless villagers shake the ground as they huddle against new nightmarish horrors unleashed by the Duke of Darkness, Count Dracula. And this time he has a tombstone with your name on it, Simon Belmont. You must descend into Castle of the Undead and its gruesome ground, accompanied by the most chilling sound effects to ever tingle your spine. Inside, a freshly dug 11 levels maze features the treacherous Terrace of Terror, the dangerous Rotating Dungeon, the Sunken Ruins of Lost Spirits, torture chambers and creature filled caves. Use your whip like a grappling hook and swing past hundreds of traps and a host of ghost freaks, living corpses and hidden goblins. All while dodging or destroying the unpredictable spitting lizards, carnivorous coffins, and more. Find the concealed weapons needed to defeat everything from eerie phantoms to haunted furniture. Then prepare to find yourself face-to-thing with hideous torments like the Tongue Lasher, the Darkest Knight, the Bone-Afide Horseman and the Granite Crusher. When your nerves get shot, use your password and take a breather. But forge on, Simon Belmont, because if you though Dracula was down for the count, he's only just begun to fright!

While I did really enjoy the game, I can't help but think that the franchise has slowly started stagnating with this one. Sure, it's really polished, and gives you a lot of control, but it's still just a retelling of Catlevenia 1, you are still a barbarian who whips demons and beats up Dracula in the end... Maybe it's because I'm playing these games back to back.
I will be returning to it way later, after a long enough break. I may like it more.

Foda :)

(O jogo não sabe a hora de acabar e as últimas fases são uma merda total, mas o resto é legal.)

Pues a mi si me gusto.jpg

Fuera de eso, cierto que ya no me gusta como antes, pero aun asi diria que se me hace un titulo solido, lo que si es cierto que aveces el latigo opacaba a las otras subarmas, pero sinceramente, le saque su provecho tambien a las subarmas aun cuando talvez el latigo pudo ser más efectivo.

Da pra fazer o "bleblubleblablu" com o chicote 10/10

Probably still the best Castlevania game to date. Symphony of the Night is awesome too, and going full Metroid after dabbling with it in Castlevania II was neat, but I prefer Castlevania more linear I think. The sprites, vibes, and music in this one are also absolutely unparalleled. 8-directional whipping still the best

beautiful Graphics, great variety in levels, oozing with spooky atmosphere and one of the best soundtracks of the 16 bit era , however the only thing that keeps this from getting a perfect score is the difficulty spikes. not all of the NES era horseshit is gone from this game. hell if I didn't know about the hanging whip exploit, I would've never beaten the grim reaper. some of the difficulty spikes are truly horsehit especially towards the end but this is still one of the greatest games on the super nintendo
