Descpription:
Haunted Castle is a typical platform game comprised
of six levels, which are played through in a linear progression. The
player controls the main character, whose primary mode of attack is
via his whip. He must fight various enemies which consist partially
of skeletons, zombies, fishmen, and hunchbacks.
By destroying certain enemies, he can switch his weapon to a more
powerful spiked mace or sword. In addition, various "sub-weapons"
can be obtained which provide different means of attack which
consist of bombs, boomerangs, stopwatches, crosses, and torches.
Hearts are collected to use each of these "sub-weapons."
The player can only carry one sub-weapon at a time. Each
of Haunted Castle's six levels conclude with a boss fight.
Like in other games of the series, these bosses are generally
taken from horror literature or legend, and include Medusa,
Frankenstein's Monster, and of course, Dracula.
