Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, known in Japan as Dracula Densetsu II (ドラキュラ伝説II, Dorakyura Densetsu Tsū, lit. "Dracula Legend II"), is the second Castlevania game for the Game Boy system. It is the sequel to Castlevania: The Adventure. It was released in Japan and North America on August 12, Template:Vgy.
Gameplay

Unlike its predecessor, sub-weapons in the form of holy water and axes are available in the game. The game includes four levels, each taking place in a separate castle with unique theme such as air, plant, earth, and crystal, and can be completed in any order.[1][2] There are also very large trap rooms in the levels.[1] The game also utilizes a password system.[3]
Plot
After Dracula is defeated by Christopher Belmont in 1576 in the game Castlevania: The Adventure, Dracula puts a curse on Belmont's family, and fifteen years later, he comes out of hiding, kidnaps Belmont's son Soleiyu at his coming of age feast, and turns him into a demon. With the son's mystical powers, Dracula retakes human form and rebuilds his castle, forcing Christopher Belmont to confront Dracula once again to save his son and Transylvania.[1][3]
Development
The Japanese version of the game changes one of the sub-weapons, which replaces the axe with a cross.[2]
Reception
IGN thought the game made better use of the Game Boy's hardware than the first Castlevania handheld, and also applauded its inclusion of traditional Castlevania items, weapons, and having a cleaner graphical aesthetic. It was still hurt, however, by a lack of character speed and its short play time.[1] GameSpy called it one of the best action games on the original Game Boy.[2]
