Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge – Cane and Rinse No.576

“The Belmont family has a long history of Vampire Hunters.”

In our latest Castlevania show we land At Konami’s second attempt at bringing the full-fat horror platformer experience to handheld in Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge. Leon, Brian, Jon, Leah and listener contributors find a slightly yet significantly upgraded protagonist – and one who can now even use axes and holy water – in this assault on Dracula’s real estate portfolio. Special praise is doled out for a remarkable 8-bit soundtrack, though significant ire is reserved for an especially tough final showdown.

Music featured in this issue:

1. Opening by Hidehiro Funauchi
2. Praying Hands (Cloud Castle) by Hidehiro Funauchi
