Toziuha Night: Dracula's Revenge (Great SNES era Classic-Vania, PC)

First of all, to the people on my recommend short 90's games to me topic, I guess I didn't make something clear, and I wanna try to now. When I said "or 90's Style" I was referring to things like indie games with a 90's art style. This very much feels like SOTN, if it wasn't a Metroidvania(Or Igavania or whatever.)

I'm gonna talk about what I really liked about this game, and what sadly keeps it from being great. What I really liked about this game is that during gameplay segments the atmosphere really draws you in, both with the combat, visuals, and audio. Its all great stuff, and makes me very glad that I played this. The problem however is that this game decided to add a lot of dialogue, and not only is it badly translated, it's anime in a very bad way.

Characters misunderstand each other, and they don't even try to explain it. And yet at the same what is discussed isn't all that interesting, so I'm almost glad that they pull this tropey bullshit. That's how bad it is at taking me out of the experience! Again, it's not enough to make me regret playing this, but that might be because of my strong love for Castlevania gameplay.

So yeah, I liked it, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend this game to anyone outside of fellow diehard fans of Classic-Vanias...

is what I was going to say originally, but the more I think about it, god the god is so much fun, and towards the end the dialogue does sorta get more interesting. Fuck it, the whole game is fun, and the final 2 levels made me look past the bad dialogue, of most of the game. The game is great, play it! A couple plot twists at the end make it a bit more memorable too

Spoilers: The MC is kinda petty, but in a way that actually makes her interesting. And yes, I know that makes so little fucking sense, but if you play it you'll see what I mean. Also, it turns out that Dracula wasn't actually resurrected, the demon that he sold his soul to was pretending to be him to gather state alchemists so they could take their blood and resurrect him. The last boss was actually his wife!

Anyways, I didn't really need it, but I was sorta using this as a walkthrough.
