Castlevania Bloodlines: A Forgotten Castlevania?

Castlevania: Bloodlines is one of three 16-bit Castlevania games, and one often overshadowed by Super Castlevania 4 and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and then by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night which came out a few years later.

Even still, Castlevania: Bloodlines is a fantastic game and in some ways outshines its near-peer counterparts because of it's tight gameplay, colorful graphics, interesting stages and set pieces, and wonderful music.

In this video I go over the background, gameplay and unique features of this fantastic Castlevania release.
