Easily one of the most gorgeous games on the SNES, and one of the most atmospheric. It's got the art design and tone of Super Castlevania IV, the structure and feeling of exploration from a Zelda game, character progression and secrets straight out of Megaman X, and plays a little like that game too. How a game that shares all the best elements of some of the most beloved games on the system can be this overlooked is mind-boggling to me.
Something I have learned through biographies of metal bands is that here in America when something has demon, devil, lucifer, satan etc in the title is that it immedietaly hamstrings your ability to market and a lot of people simply wont buy something with those names. Now imagine you're a parent in the 90's and your kid wants a game with this title. To me the name is badass, but I have to think it's a big reason why this wasn't as big as it should have been.
