    This one aged honestly better than I remember. It's a simple 3D action game that strikes me as bit repetitious, but it was short and sweet, and the translation of 3D for whip combat was much better realized here than Castlevania 64 for sure. I also appreciate NOT feeling like I have to hunt and grind weapons and xp like many of the IGA titles. Still, please enjoy another Castlevania installment, and from here I intend to add them in timeline chronological order (so next would be Curse of Darkness).
    The next RECAPitation will be: Xenosaga Episode II

    I never got the hate for this game. It definitely wasn't groundbreaking 3D action considering that you had games like Devil May Cry and Shinobi for that, but not everything has to be. I liked its relaxed pace with some gauntlets here and there (which never really got frustrating), and simple bosses with death being a decent challenge. I found the difficulty to be not far from games like SotN. To be honest, the incredible music was enough for me with the inoffensive game mechanics. The game didn't overstay its welcome and you even got a secret character. If the whip combat were a little more varied, I'd say it was a great. As is, it was good enough.

    30 minutes, and two RECAPitations watched. This is one of my favourite Castlevania titles, and I've been excited for it ever since you said you were working on it in the stream. I also didn't realise I had an intense need for dangerous depths of deadly dungeons on demented disks until I watched this one. Thanks again, Black Mage, and keep at this labor of love.
    The legendary Vampire Killer's origin, as well as Dracula's hatred toward the Catholic Church, are brought into light in this short-lived but wonderful tale. I do wish the name Dracula was brought into play in a more organic fashion than just in the epilogue, but this is still a solid game even if you removed all plot and story elements and just focused on the gameplay. Thanks very much for this RECAP, and I'll meet you on the next battlefield.

      Well, Dracula/Mathias never hated the church at this point in time. He hated God which is completely different. His hatred for the church started after Lisa’s crucifixion sometime in the 1470s. But at the same time, Lisa’s crucifixion wasn’t just the churches fault, her death was a product of Carmilla starting the witch trials so that she could kill off the Belnades clan since they were causing her problems. She mostly succeeded in killing off the Belnades clan but Sypha was able to be taken in by the Eastern Orthodox Church and worked for them as a monster hunter to uphold her end for amnesty from the trials.

    I woke up, started playing and didn't stop until I beat it. I promptly returned it to him and told him I was done so no deal.
