Personal review

This game instantly reminded me of the first Castlevania game. "Youkai Club" is a mostly linear game. Some of the levels/rooms are side-scrolling and others are vertically scrolling. You kill enemies with your throwing knives/daggers. You can get experience from killing enemies and collecting red balls they leave behind or by finding special book items. With higher experience you upgrade you firepower. The graphics have enough variety most of the time and the music is decent. However the game also has strange jump controls that I didn't like. Many enemies are too hard to kill, especially at the beginning. The difficulty level is quite high. In the end it is what you might call an average game. Players who like Castlevania-style games might want to give it a try.
