THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.
Truly the best part of Castlevania for me. Probably what I fell most in love with was the incredible soundtrack and the interesting bosses. The music in this game is noticeably better than in Curse of Darkness, and I could listen to it forever. Bosses such as Succubus, Joachim Armster and The Forgotten One just incredibly interesting to me, and you empathize with each of them in your own way, you understand their fate, and they don't become so bad to you after that. 10/10
