Kid Dracula (Gameboy)




Kid Dracula (Gameboy) :



Time for one of the weirdest entries in the Castlevania series now! In this 1993 sequel to NES game Akumajo Special : Boku Dracula-Kun (a game I might look at next year) you take control of Kid Dracula as he is again woken from his slumber by evil demon and general all round nasty-sort Galamoth!





Having been asleep for quite a while, Kid has forgotten most of the spells he learnt in his previous adventure and so must try and find or remember these during the course of the game...which plays more or less like a slightly easier, more platformy version of other Castlevania titles.





Kid jumps around firing projectiles, transforming into a bat to reach difficult areas, etc....whilst also climbing ladders and avoiding falls and traps...all the stuff you'd expect,  but in a cutesy, more child-friendly style... 







Needless to say, it's a lot of fun...the levels sometimes feel a bit bare, but if you're looking for some portable spookiness to play on the bus whilst making you way to a Halloween party or whatever, you should definitely consider giving this a go!
