Haunted Castle (1988) - A look at the game's major bosses! | Konami

Quick video showing the six main bosses in Haunted Castle (1988).
Classic monsters from the old and-and-white Universal movies are here, such as Frankenstein and Count Dracula himself, while the game also borrows from Greek mythology, which is why you get bosses like Medusa (as well as Medusa heads in the console versions of Castlevania).
They are all (to varying degrees) fairly easy, and I wonder if that's intentional on Konami's part. Why would they do something like that? Perhaps to counter balance the extreme difficulty of the levels that lead up to each boss encounter.
I have a feeling the sub-weapons are a little too overpowered as well. The Torch in particular is a beast, especially against Dracula. It's this combination, I think, that makes the bosses a little on the easy side, and more so compared to the original Castlevania. The Dracula fight of that game is simply brutal (to me at least).
In the end, the bosses in Haunted Castle offer some reprieve from what came before. And the designs aren't half bad either.
