Castlevania: Bloodlines

Europe stands on the edge of another Dracula revival. Quincy Morris had already cast the count into darkness, yet twenty years later, a novice witch raises a young vampire from the ashes, and her bloodline leads straight to Dracula's niece, burned in the thirteenth century. That return sets the hunt in motion in Castlevania: Bloodlines, with John Morris and Eric Lecarde stepping in as the two men tied to humanity's last chance. Gems pull at every side of the conflict, and the story folds through witches, vampires, and an uncle marked for resurrection.

How to play?

John attacks only in the direction he's facing, and his whip also catches onto blocks to carry him across barriers. Eric fights with a spear that reaches straight ahead, diagonally, or upward, giving him more attack angles during combat. Over wide pits, use the super jump to cross the gap. Sub-weapons stay limited to five total. Water, the axe, and the boomerang work for both heroes, while John carries the Crystal and Eric uses Spears. Push through the witch's forces and stop the return of evil before humanity falls with it.
