Game Details:

"Castlevania" was first released in 1986 and is an action platform game released by Konami with a vampire theme. Players will control the protagonist Simon Belmont, carrying the family heirloom, the holy whip "Vampire Killer," to enter Dracula's Castle for an adventure. The game has multiple levels, each with different monsters and traps, and ultimately faces various Boss enemies, including werewolves, mummies, and the Grim Reaper, and finally challenges Count Dracula.

The game uses exquisite pixelated images and eerie background music, creating a tense and mysterious atmosphere. In addition to the main weapon, the whip, players can also use sub-weapons such as the cross, holy water, and daggers. Players need to use items, time, and platform jumping skills rationally to successfully pass the game.


Editor's Recommendation:

"Castlevania" not only established the classic model of action platform games, but also influenced countless later "Metroidvania" works. Its Gothic art style, rigorous level rhythm, and BOSS battle settings all have high playability and artistic value. For players who love retro games and challenging platform games, "Castlevania" is definitely a classic masterpiece not to be missed!


Game Walkthrough:

  • Familiarize yourself with the weapon mechanics: The main weapon whip attack has a certain delay, and you need to predict the enemy's actions in advance. Sub-weapons such as the cross can attack remotely, and using them wisely can easily defeat strong enemies.
  • Master the rhythm of jumping: Many traps require precise jumping, and either too early or too late will cause you to fall or be attacked by enemies. You can familiarize yourself with the rhythm in a fixed position.
  • Collect hearts and coins: Hearts dropped by breaking candlesticks are the "ammunition" for sub-weapons, and using them wisely can deal with different enemies. Hidden coins can increase your score and get bonus lives.
  • Understand BOSS weaknesses: Such as mummies are weak to fire, the Grim Reaper is tricky but the cross is extremely effective. It is recommended to prepare corresponding sub-weapons in advance and maintain a calm rhythm of output.
  • Use mid-game saves or retry mechanisms (simulator applicable): Due to the high difficulty of the original work, you can use modern simulator functions to repeatedly practice difficult levels.
