Years after defeating Dracula in The Adventure, Christopher Belmont returns because the Count has possessed his son, Soleiyu. Konami's 1991 sequel fixes almost every complaint about the first Game Boy Castlevania: Christopher moves faster, subweapons are back in the form of the axe and holy water, and the difficulty is tough but fair.
The biggest change is structure. Four castles, Crystal, Cloud, Plant, and Rock, can be tackled in any order, a Mega Man-style choice unusual for the series at the time. Once all four are cleared, Dracula's castle opens for the final stretch. The music is among the strongest on the Game Boy, and several tracks have been remixed in later Castlevania releases. Players who want to experience the best of the handheld trilogy should start here. The game was later included in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection.
Tips for Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
The axe flies in an upward arc, so it is the better subweapon for enemies perched above you.
Christopher still loses whip power when hit, so prioritize clean play in the final castle.
Use passwords from the game to retry a later castle without restarting.
