  • A complete playthrough of Konami's 1994 Sega Genesis platformer, Castlevania: Bloodlines.
    Played through on expert mode with Eric Lecarde.
    No cheats were used in play during the recording of this video. However, I used a code to access the Expert difficulty mode.

    The audio in this game is so fascinating, I can't get over that wolf howl at 4:02 The developers clearly knew the Genesis' sound limitations and just styled it without even trying to force more realistic sounds that didn't work on the hardware.

      @@aputridpileofb-movies6542 Konami shoehorned a Bram Stoker character's son into this game, and tried connecting them to the Belmonts (the Morris being Quincy in the book, the son for this game, John of course). Just never felt quite right, though I could accept Eric LeCarde as a character, because he wasn't from the novel, and they found a good use for him in Portrait of Ruin. But yes, the Vampire Killer drains the life of those not of the Belmont clan who try and use it, and I believe the whip use eventually killed him, making him a non-Belmont.

    Remember seeing this in EGM and Gamepro all those years ago, laughed because it looked like a poor effort at CV, along with Contra Hard Corp. My cousin needed my help one day to defeat the Gargoyle boss on the Leaning Tower, beat it, no sweat, but something inside of me said, hey, it's pretty freaking good. Few years later, bought a Genesis (1998), my first 2 games for the system, Castlevania Bloodlines, and Contra Hard Corp (which I took a gamble on, but it paid off due to how good it was too). I never laughed at those 2 games again, I loved them. The EGM magazine's pictures didn't paint a picture on how good the games were.

    • @TGMShoNuff

      Because EGM were known at the time for not taking their gaming serious. They were a bit narcissistic with their reviews and also biased. They laughed hard at Contra: Hard Corps because they felt it wasn't a "true Contra title" (Dan Shu, I believe, wrote that).
      The staff at that time were:

      That would be entitlement for the developer to do to deviate from their usual formula.
      They've made breakout hits on NES, Gameboy, SuperNES, and they've produced something different. Even though if it was a comical to a degree, one can not deny the game was incredible and the overall presentation was solid.

    I’m glad that Castlevania: Bloodlines has been finally getting the love it deserves in recent years. I remember when I was a kid the general attitude towards this game by many gaming magazines was, “Well it’s fine, but it’s not Super Castlevania IV”. Which honestly annoyed me because I thought this game was better just for the fact that the levels didn’t have time limits. 🤣
    Anyways, great playthrough.

    As the only Castlevania game ever released for a Sega console, Konami did a great job in making it feel very much like a Genesis game.

      No, just a simulated effect.

      Yeah. Honestly, most action-packed games on the Sega Genesis were faster than their Snes counterparts.
      I always had a huge respect for the Sega Genesis. Still do. It was always amazing to see what companies could squeeze out of the limited hardware of the console.
      In fact, the Sega Genesis even had a faster CPU than the Snes, and many companies took advantage of this. Even games that got released on both consoles usually ran faster (and with a better framerate) on the Genesis. The Strike games, for example (Desert Strike, Jungle Strike and Urban Strike), ran great on the Sega Genesis, but struggled to run on the Snes.
      Of course this eventually changed, with Nintendo pushing upgrades on the Snes' carts themselves, while Sega was more focused on the Sega CD and 32x.
      Still, the 16-bit "console war" was one of the best ever, because both the Genesis and the Snes were amazing consoles that really felt different from one another. I'm one of the lucky ones who had both consoles, and I actually find it hard to choose a favorite between them.

    The name Elizabeth Bartley is somewhat wrong - it's supposed to be Elizabeth _Bathory_ who has Dracula resurrected. A classic case of the lack of an "Rr" and perhaps a "Th" sound in Japanese messing with the translations.
    She was a Hungarian noblewoman who lived from 1560 to 1614 who, according to an eclectic mix of historical evidence and legend, was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of girls and young women in the lands she ruled, allegedly bathing in their blood to keep herself looking young. How much of this was truth and how much of it propaganda by her enemies will forever be unknown. If the stories _are_ true, it makes her the most prolific serial killer in all of human history. But whether there is any truth to it, she gained a fiendish reputation, and ultimately became the inspiration for another fictional vampire that entered Castlevania canon: Carmilla.
    This looks like a fun game, by the way.

      Super Castlevania 4 is like a fine painting, a bit easy on difficulty, and an early release title for the console. This one was a later release for the Genesis, and a departure from the lore of the Belmont clan, it's story was also shoehorned in from Bram Stoker's Dracula novel, something to this day I feel sort of hurts this game. Still not sure why Konami went this route and had such a drastic departure from previous games lore. But then again, Castlevania's timeline is a bit messy. This one also suffers from being too short, especially with the marathons CV 3 and SCV 4 were.

    Ladies and gentlemen, that music is the genius of Michiru Yamane, who gave the world some of Konami's best music, including King's Valley 2.
    I've only ever had a NES and SNES, and I never particularly cared for Genesis' FM audio. It was only years after that I heard Bloodlines' exquisite soundtrack and realized that CV IV's music could at best be classified as "experimental syncopated mast***ation" in comparison (DX was better, but still nowhere near as good). This is top-tier Castlevania music, and it makes FM sound so beautiful, you wish other composers had the skill with it that she does.

    LOL. Stage 5-7's archers don't make any sense. Instead of shooting their arrows straight at you, they intend to delicately shoot them up and arch them at you even though at that velocity, they wouldn't pierce anyone's skull (let alone a piece of cardboard) or do any damage. AND you could easily catch them and perhaps throw them back with more velocity, haha. Oh video game logic, so funny at times yet so cruel at others... Never gets old.
