Master of Darkness (Sega Master System) full playthrough
0No commentary playthrough of Master of Darkness on Sega Master System.
Master of Darkness was originally created for the Sega Game Gear, where it was released in the U.S. in June 1993 as Vampire: Master of Darkness. In Europe it was released as just Master of Darkness, and ported to the Sega Master System, as well as being released on the Game Gear.
Master of Darkness was clearly inspired by Castlevania, but is far from a simple clone. It has a unique take on the gameplay, environments, story, and weapons that all combines to create an experience of its own. While the game itself is much easier than Castlevania, it is still a lot of fun to play through.

It is the Victorian Era in London, a hundred years ago. Dapper gentlemen doff their hats to the ladies who pass by. Horse-drawn carriages take gentry to their country homes for the weekend. But below the placid surface of London's daily life lies terror. There has been talk of horrible murders at night... when the moon is full.
Dr. Ferdinand Social, a young psychologist with a knowledge of the occult, has received strange warnings from the guardian spirits of his Ouija board. The spirits warm (sic) of more horrors to come, unless the source of the evil is defeated. But where is this source?
