dracula's castle as a psychedelic allegory for bipolar disorder? i think there's a lot to be explored wrt this game's story that i'm shocked nobody really has. maxim is easily one of the most interesting characters to come from this series IMO
anyway it's a mostly good game. insanely good movement, spell fusion is FUN (windfist and boltbook <3), and the enemies and bosses are quite delightful to me. music and visuals are like nothing else, and either that's your thing or it's not. (i like it!) unfortunately the map sucks and is way too big to justify there being two castles. last half took me a while to get through for this reason alone. not much else to say, pretty good overall

that probably makes more sense! my take kind of hinges on viewing castle B as strictly "manic" which kind of doesn't add up considering how much of it is dark and gray.. would love to see a vid analyzing this game, i think there's so much to unravel that i really could not do justice if i tried
Once I'm done with the big video project I've been working on, perhaps a replay of HoD is in order :D
