Notes
The Casltevania series premise, with some variants, focuses on how someone has to defeat the ever-returning Dracula inside his castle. Castlevania: Symphony of The Next broke with previous linear platformers to create a role-playing game with non-linear exploration. As Alucard, Dracula's offspring, your goal is to put your father down. To do that you journey through a castle of monsters, find weapons, restore your vampiric powers, and find money. This game and Metroid gave us the term “Metroidvania” to talk about games, usually 2D, where one gradually unlocks more and more territory in the game while engaging in non-linear exploration.
