Ah, where do I begin talking about Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest? It’s one of my favorite Castlevania games, and it’s the entry that started the series’ eventual nonlinear, exploration-heavy style which was then taken to perfection in Symphony of the Night.
Simon’s Quest is a great experience, and one that kept me engaged all the way until the final fight. Even when I was completely lost, I was enamored by it. It’s a very rewarding game, despite the many deaths you’ll possibly be faced with. Like the one in the picture above!
The game is now available on the Wii U’s eShop for $4.99. If you have a Wii U and are fond of classic gaming, then I highly recommend this title!
