Vampire: Master of Darkness 1992

Is it still worth playing?

A psychologist who plays with a Ouija board hunts the vampire behind a series of murders in London, in this action platform game for the Game Gear and Master System. The game has five rounds of three lengthy stages, from the Thames River and a wax museum to a cemetery, a castle and a labyrinth, and each round ends with a boss. There are four main weapons, a knife, an axe, a fencing sword and a cane, plus bombs and boomerangs as subweapons. The hero can change direction in mid air and jump off stairs. His health is ten orbs, and most enemy hits drain only half an orb or less. A Master System version was released in PAL regions, and on the Game Gear the small screen makes the view cramped. A gothic mood and a doctor with a cane still give it a flavor of its own.
