#61. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES, 1990)



This was the first Castlevania game I played, so I have a lot of nostalgia around this. I thought about putting the original Castlevania game on my list, which is a great platformer and fairly similar to CV3. I think this game improved on the original in a lot of ways though, along with the above stated nostalgia I have. Multiple paths, 4 characters with different abilities and subweapons, more levels, there's a lot of new stuff here. The graphics have this gritty feel, but are very detailed and there are a lot of screens with a memorable look to them. There was also a decent amount of features returning from the first game, really solidifying the running traditions that Castlevania games would become known for.

Sypha was always my favorite character to play as. She took a little more damage, but that lightning orb spell is way, way too strong. Taking her path also avoided the levels filled with mummies, which were maybe some of the more annoying ones. I also like that the recent Netflix show took this game as inspiration to build around.\

And that's 40 games down! 60 more to go, and they all get better from here!
