Guide: Castlevania III Dracula's Curse

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse takes a step back from the adventure elements of its direct predecessor, and is instead a more straightforward and linear action/platforming game like the first Castlevania. That said, though, there are several new ideas included here that elevate the experience -- from the interesting inclusion of multiple paths through the game's set of levels, to the even more interesting inclusion of multiple playable characters.

Trevor Belmont is the primary hero this time around. An ancestor of Simon Belmont (as this game is set in the past relative to Castlevania I and II), Trevor wields the Vampire Killer whip as you'd expect, and also has access to the standard set of secondary weapons -- the holy water, the boomerang, the stopwatch. He's your basic Belmont. But though you can choose to cruise through the entire journey with just Trevor if you like, you'll also have the option to recruit three different companions along the way.
