Title
5.5

Castlevania III has two major flaws that I just can’t get over, no matter how good the music and switchable characters are… it’s those stupid stairs that made me rage like I have never raged before. Secondly, the birds and flying creatures are back and they are way more annoying than ever. Maybe it’s just the American version, but that’s all I know and there are too many frustrating tears shed over this game that I can’t rate it any higher, although I certainly appreciate the ambition and atmosphere.

    The US version is essentially a child torture device, do yourself a favor and play the JP one.

    Stage 9 is a strong contender for the hardest part of a game I've ever played

    This game can go fuck itself. It's so pretty yet so fucking evil at the same time.

    PSA: Play the Japanese Version it is the definitive version. Best version of the OST and not nearly as cruel difficulty-wise as the U.S. version

    Your enjoyment of this game varies whether you encounter that aisinine falling blocks stage or not. Which you won't get to play if you do the Sypha route. Still you have to congratulate the idea of branching paths in a game this early in gaming history.
