Castlevania Legends is an action game released in 1997 for the Game Boy. Players take on the role of Sonia Belmont, a vampire hunter tasked with defeating Dracula and his minions. The main objective revolves around navigating through various stages filled with enemies, traps, and platforming challenges to ultimately confront Dracula.
The game features a steady pace, combining exploration with combat elements typical of the Castlevania series. A unique mechanic in Castlevania Legends is Sonia's ability to use a whip as the primary weapon, alongside secondary sub-weapons that consume hearts collected throughout the levels. This creates a balance between resource management and aggressive gameplay.
One unusual aspect of the game is its focus on a female protagonist, which was less common in action games at the time. Additionally, the game includes hidden items and multiple paths within levels, encouraging replayability. The pixel art and atmospheric music contribute to the distinctive gothic horror experience that defines its identity on the Game Boy platform.
