This game is really just a Castlevania clone for the Master System. It is a bit easier than Castlevania, but it’s still really fun and fits the mood really well.

If you like classic Castlevania, give this game a try. I’m sure you will enjoy it.

If you’ve played it before, what are your thoughts on it?

I grew up with this game, since we had SEGA consoles, no Nintendos. The later game is a little tough, though. I still really enjoy this game. Just the first levels are a little slow-paced.

I agree that there is a point with a sudden difficulty increase, but it’s never too challenging where you just want to give up.

I did think the little daggers that would fly at you were annoying since they were so small and hard to hit.

Never heard of it, but I enjoyed the videos of the game play that I just watched. I did not expect that much similarity to the Castlevania series, this looks like it’s close enough that I’m actually a bit surprised it wasn’t sued out of existence unless it was released before Castlevania.

Suppose I should give it a try some day.

I just looked it up, first Castlevania was 1986 and Master of Darkness was 1992.

Back then, video games were not really paid much attention too and I do t think there was nearly as much legal stuff as there is now.
