Corbie's Top 10 Genesis Games #6 - Castlevania Bloodlines

While Castlevania Bloodlines certainly isn't Rondo of Blood or Dracula's Curse, it is a great entry for the series on the Genesis/Mega Drive console. The game features a little bit of a different feel to it that brings a refreshing air to the series and also brings a great storyline element to the table as well. Now don't worry, all of the pinpoint platforming action found in previous Castlevania titles is still intact, there's just a slightly different feel to the way attacks are executed in this game. The music is some of the best the Castlevania series has seen and carries the overall mood of the game perfectly. The difficulty isn't quite as steep as some of the Castlevania titles before it, but you'll still have your work cut out for you if you intend to finish off this amazing platformer. I just finished playing through the game again and it always reminds me what an underrated and sometimes under-appreciated Castlevania title Bloodlines truly is. If you're a Castlevania fan, you absolutely must own this amazing game. It was a true highlight during the later years of the Genesis console's lifespan.
