Castlevania
II:
Belmont's Revenge
|
. |
It's unusual that we find a title where
Dracula has only one form, but Belmont's Revenge is it. But make no
mistake about it: It's a considerable form, a force with which to be
reckoned. As he does in his typical "Game Boy"-style offensive scheme,
he prefers to broaden his teleportation ritual and appear everywhere--up,
down, left, right, and on all platforms in between. Dracula attacks by firing
a spreadshot-type orb onslaught that starts small but quickly rotates progressively
outward; this very scheme requires that, for each of his possible teleport
locations, you hurry to a safe spot in which an orb does not pass, otherwise
avoiding direct contact with the count. Once you learn the orb patterns, you
can prepare a gameplan wherein you score the necessary headshots before quickly
retreating to your noted safety area.
