Castlevania II : Belmont's Revenge Game

Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge for the Game Boy is a bite-sized dose of gothic action that punches way above its weight. Unlike its predecessor (Castlevania: The Adventure), which dragged a bit, this sequel sharpens the stakes—you’re Christopher Belmont this time, racing to rescue your son from Dracula after the dark lord turns him against you. The gameplay’s tighter, the levels are more varied (with killer haunted castles themed around elements like fire and clouds), and the music? Absolute bangers for a Game Boy soundtrack. It’s a classic whip-cracking, candle-smashing adventure that proves portable Castlevania can be just as thrilling as the big console titles. If you love a challenge with a side of 8-bit atmosphere, this one’s a hidden gem worth digging up.
