Description
Embark on a thrilling journey with Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, the second Castlevania release for the NES. Set after the first installment, the game allows players to step into the shoes of vampire hunter Simon Belmont, tasked with undoing a curse set by Dracula. The game's nonlinear gameplay, reminiscent of Metroid, introduces RPG elements -- explore the world map, interact with townspeople, and purchase items and upgrades. The game also introduces an Experience Rating system, where the collection of hearts leads to leveling up and increased health. The game uniquely transitions between daytime and nightfall, affecting the strength of enemies and availability of townspeople and merchants. The main objective is to find Dracula's body parts and the Magic Cross, which can be utilized to boost Simon's abilities. With multiple endings, the game's outcome is influenced by the time taken to complete the game.
