Super Castlevania IV Part 2

Part 2. I really want to like this game, I really do. The first 3/4 of the game are great and the back 1/4 is just not that good. Once I hit, Stage 9, the gold level, I very much started to dislike what was happening. The first half of that level is just not fun. There is so much cheap nonsense happening over instant death pits. The second half of that level is a breeze, though. It feels weirdly balanced. The next few levels have their own BS as well. Then Dracula, who I spent 2 hours on, dude is no joke and filled with such horrible RNG garbage. For the life of me I couldn't properly dodge that lightning attack. It's awful. And they knew this fight was trash because the only fight in the game that drops health refills. I'm all about a challenging boss, fight, but Dracula just feels mega cheap as compared to some of the other games here. The music is dope as hell, and the levels look great, the bosses are huge and intimidating for sure. The controls are spot on, the Mode 7 stuff is silly but cool. Heck Simon controls great. Omni-directional whipping is something that should have been a staple after this. It's a fun game, but it has some seriously frustrating parts parts, thankfully nothing near the level of Castlevania 3 though. Enjoy my blind playthrough.
