Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (ドラキュラ伝説II; Dracula Densetsu II) is the second Castlevania game for the Game Boy system. It was released in Japan and North America on August 12, 1991.

This game is sometimes referred to as Castlevania: The Adventure II, after the first Castlevania game for the Game Boy, to avoid confusion with the similarly-titled Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. However, that is not the game's official name.

Storyline

The game once again stars Christopher Belmont, this time on the quest to save his son, Solieyu Belmont from Count Dracula.

Gameplay

Taking a page from the gameplay of Mega Man, Belmont's Revenge allows the player to play any of the game's four stages in any order that they choose. Dracula has four themed castles: air, plant, earth and crystal, and there is no advantage in picking one level over another.

This time around, Christopher Belmont can now wield subweapons. Unlike console Castlevanias however, this game only features two subweapons; the Axe and the Holy Water (in the Japanese version however, the Axe subweapon is replaced with a Cross). So getting hearts this time around will prove to be useful compared to this game's predecessor; The Castlevania Adventure.
