A great game that felt refreshing after playing the earlier games. This game introduced new mechanics, such as being able to use your whip as a grapple and being able to whip upwards and diagonally. Both of these mechanics made this game feel a lot more enjoyable than the earlier entries. It made the game feel less cheap in terms of enemy placement.

The pixel art was beautiful and really showed off what the SNES could achieve. The bosses were all amazing, except for 1 or 2 that felt a bit boring. The OST didn't disappoint either. Especially when my favourite tracks, Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer, showed up during the SAME level.

If you haven't played this one and like other Castlevania games (or even if you've never played a Castlevania before), try this one, it won't disappoint.
