The only Genesis Castlevania game.
You can play as Eric Lecarde or John Morris. Eric's weapon is a 'LaCarde spear', he can use it to hit enemies in all directions and use it as a pole to jump higher, whereas John uses the classic Castlevania whip, which he can use to swing on most ceilings.
Since John's weapon allows for more moves his quest is a little easier.

The subweapons are the boomerang, the axe and the holy water. It's possible, however, to find a powerup for the main weapon, which will also give the player a powered-up subweapon. The power-up is lost when the player gets hit, and the subweapon power-up can be lost if you collect another subweapon from a candle.

The character must try to prevent Elizabeth 'Bathory' Bartley from reviving Dracula. To do so, she has to travel through all Europe for some reason, so each stage is set in a different country.
