Story Breakdown: Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

With dozens of sequels, spin-offs and remakes, Castlevania is easily one of the longest-running and most enduring horror franchises in video game history. But with so many installments, it's easy to miss some of the hidden gems. I feel that's what happened with Bloodlines, the first and only Castlevania game to find its way to the Sega Genesis. I've always been a big fan of this 16-bit sequel and wanted to spend a few minutes highlighting John and Eric's incredible journey. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and endings for Castlevania: Bloodlines on the Genesis. This is Game Over: The Early Years!
