The
Manual's Synopsis
|
|
It was the Middle Ages in Transylvania. One man came into possession of an evil power, and the Prince of Darkness was born. Before long, this being used his new-found supernatural powers and the magic powers of his followers to spread his plague of darkness and despair through the European continent. He was Count Dracula. Even to mention the name of this Prince of Darkness was to cast fear into the hearts of he people in the land, who were powerless to do anything save voice their concern. However, at about the same time a baby girl possessing special powers was born to a family living in a remote area of the country. "Your powers are meant for a higher purpose and not only for yourself," she was often reminded as she was growing up. The plot of this girl's fate began to develop one night in her seventeenth year when she met up with the young enigmatic Alucard, who was on a journey to search for the father that deserted him. The young girl's name was Sonia Belmont, and she was the first of the vampire hunters in the Belmont family to become legendary. |

Objective
/ Overview
|
|
Castlevania Legends is the third and final series' title made for the classic Game Boy--the closing to the "Adventure Mini-series," as some people like to refer to the trinity. Though, while it shares the gameplay mechanics of Adventure and Belmont's Revenge, however lacking for substance, Legends doesn't continue their story, nor does it have any connection. Rather, Legends is delegated as the first in the pecking order storyline-wise, or, at least, it's the first known chronicle of "Dracula versus the Belmonts." Your mission is to take control of Sonia Belmont, the family's first female warrior, and guide her through at least five of the six available stages, all of which employ the same play elements, enemies and traps you've seen countless times before. Sonia's goal is to reach the final stage to duel with the as-yet-undefeated vampire Count Dracula and end his dark reign by force. As a sub-quest, you can fully search the six stages, one hidden, to locate the story-device-only sub-weapons that earn Sonia better (longer) endings with each collected. Available is the "Light Mode," the game's relative easy mode, where Sonia's whip is always powered up to its strongest form. |
