The ending the player receives depends on which character they chose to play as. There are four endings in Castlevania: Bloodlines. Notable examples include the rotating Tower of Pisa and the upside down rooms in Castle Proserpina. The game is noteworthy for utilizing innovative special effects generated by the Sega Genesis, sometimes resulting in unique obstacles that had never appeared in any of the previous titles. Eric's two special abilities are twirling his weapon back and forth, and using a huge leap to reach platform stationed right above him. He is able to attack in six different directions, upward by lifting his spear and downward by performing a dive attack while airborne, as well as diagonally (although having to land a horizontal hit before hitting diagonal on the D-Pad is arguably of any worth). The spear can also be upgraded a total of three times, and Eric has access to the same additional sub-weapons as his partner. Something that sets John further apart from most of his Belmont predecessors is that he is able to whip downward while in the air, and can also use his weapon to swing from ceilings.Įric Lecarde is a more powerful character than John due to being slightly faster, and his weapon - the Alucard Spear - has a longer range yet does slightly less damage than John's whip. The fourth power-up changes the Vampire Killer into a flame whip and boosts the capability of the sub-weapons as well. John Morris controls like a traditional Belmont and thus wields the Vampire Killer whip - which can upgraded three times instead of the usual two - and has access to three separate sub-weapons. The game allows two characters to be controlled, each of which controls differently and can travel through different sections of a stage only accessible to them. Unlike most other Castlevania games that came before, the setting is not limited to inside and around Dracula's Castle, and is spread out over several other locations in Europe as well. A boss is fought at the end of each level, although minibosses are usually also encountered when reaching its midpoint. Making way through six linear stages is required, facing enemies and obstacles along the way. John Morris has to jump to the top the tower while dodging incoming enemies.Ĭastlevania: Bloodlines holds true to the premise of the original game but with notable additions. The Count's body rests in Elizabeth's Castle Proserpina, located in England. Elizabeth and Drolta seek to bring the Dark Lord back to life, but they are pursued by two vampire hunters. He was killed in 1897 after a confrontation with Quincey Morris, but his devoted servants would see him return to the world of the living at any cost. Victory would soon be tainted when they learned of the terrible price that came by using the whip's full power. With much effort, John and Eric were able to finally end the menace of Dracula and Elizabeth after a final showdown in Castle Proserpina. After learning that Elizabeth was nearby, they followed her in hot pursuit while fighting their way all across Europe. ![]() Together they traveled to the ruins of Dracula's castle but were unable to find any trace of the Vampire Lord. Two men, descendants of the legendary Belmont family of vampire hunters, named John Morris and Eric Lecarde, arose to counter the threat. It was Elizabeth Bartley who had plotted together with the dark sorceress Drolta Tzuentes to unleash an international global war and use the souls of the dead to revive their Lord, Dracula. It was said that a strange beautiful woman was involved within the shadows. On June 1914 at Sarajevo, the Crown Prince of Austria was assassinated and resulted in a chain reaction of violence across the entire continent. The inhabitants sensed that a war would unfold sooner or later and countries formed several alliances, who in turn harbored feelings of distrust against each other. In the 19th Century, Europe's greatest nations had gone to great lengths to maintain a balance of power throughout Europe.
