This is a full walkthrough of a game that is considered by many to be a very poor clone of Castlevania with impossible difficulty. Well, not only I completely disagree about difficulty, which is quite high, of course, but nothing too bad, I also consider this game to be very different from CV to be called a clone.
While there are some similarities, the gameplay here is different. You have to carefully fight even the weakest enemies due to short range of your weapon. Also, you have a falcon (Cutrus) that you can control and use it to get items, attack enemies (some of which can be killed only by Cutrus), find breakable blocks, etc. All levels have one or two easy puzzles involving doors and switches, and two of them (Africa and Germany) are more like labyrinths.
The bosses are very hard (well, some of them) and beating each one gives you a jewel (used in a final puzzle) and a different sword. The sword you get deals more damage to one of other bosses in the game, so to have less problems it is best to follow stages in certain order.
Once you beat the final boss, you have to place all jewels in correct order to complete the game. The clues for this riddle are hidden on each of first 7 stages. In this walkthrough I showed locations of each of them along with some other items.
Well, this is all I wanted to tell. I really like this game and consider it to be one of better NES games. Don't know if I'll recommend it to anyone though, as it takes some time to get used to this game.
*There are two more loops with increased difficulty. Maybe I'll record those walthrough as well someday.
