Скачать или смотреть Haunted Castle | Konami’s worst Castlevania game reborn

Boo! 👻

Consider this our Halloween video🎃

Haunted Castle is a once obscure arcade game that was released by Konami to Noth America, as a conversion kit, in 1988.

It wasn’t widely played or talked about but its very special because its the official Castlevania arcade game, under a different name…..or is it?

The game would eventually re-appear online and in various retro collections and it quickly garnered a reputation for being awful. Super awful. In fact, some have called Haunted Castle the worst Castlevania game ever made.

Now, nearly 40 years later, thanks to the Castlevania Dominus collection, its not only possible to experience the orignal Haunted Castle in all of its glory, but now you can play Haunted Castle reborn! Or rather, “revisited”. M2 has completely remade the game with new longer levels, contemporary art, improved boss fights and little touches meant to make the game more similar to a coventional Castlevania game.

So did M2 succeed? Is Haunted Castle the worst Castlevania game? And is the Dominus Collection worth $25? Find out with us!

We read a lot of different articles and sources to make this video. Most useful was an article by Cassidy at the Bad Games Hall of Fame from 2017. We highly recommend you check it out. Its just called “Haunted Castle” and it makes a lot of great points and reveals a lot of neat details about this games origin.

Thanks for watching!
