Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Part 1 - NES - No Commentary
0Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest steps away from the traditional linear platforming of its predecessor and throws you into a shadowy, open-ended world soaked in superstition and secrets. As Simon Belmont, you’re not just hunting Dracula—you’re trying to lift the curse his death left behind, before it consumes you entirely.
Roaming through crumbling villages, haunted woods, and the eerie silence of long-abandoned mansions, you’ll need more than a whip to survive. Day turns to night, the dead rise stronger, and cryptic townsfolk offer riddles instead of answers. Upgrades and relics are hidden behind false walls and obscure puzzles, making exploration as vital—and sometimes as punishing—as combat.
Simon's Quest is a slow burn: a gothic mystery wrapped in pixelated dread, where trial-and-error becomes part of the journey and every success feels like clawing hope from a dying world. It’s strange, it’s flawed, and it’s unforgettable.
