Description

Here's my entry for :iconflashkill455:'s TG Videogame Box Cover contest: $300 Video Game TG Contest

Tried to make this look, well... Kinda legitimate, at least if you look at it quickly, if you take the time to read the words on the left side of the box you'll see I put all sort of weird stuff there :V

Game Name: Castlevania - Elders of Thessaly
Console: PC (Windows)
Genre: Sidescrolling Platformer
Brief Description:

The Elders of Thessaly, a group of witches from the Greek island, have (in a never before seen plot element on the series) resurrected Dracula, and along with it have cursed the Belmont heir and the Vatican sorcerer's that were going to help him.

The sorcer's have been turned into women, and their powers have vanished, Arin Belmont, the bearer of the sacred Vampire Killer whip, has received the same curse, and is now rushing on his goal of defeating Dracula, before he become a she, and losses his vampire hunting powers forever.

Each crack of the whip making him less and less male. Can Arin Belmont defeat the witches of Thessaly and resist Dracula's charm?

TG Related Gameplay Elements:

-The Vampire Killer is the strongest weapon in the game, but each time you attack with it you become less and less male, the boss battles can only be fought with the whip.

-Enter the Hypermode and become the first female Belmont to bear the whip! Nothing will stand your way, but each usage of the Hyper Mode will make your irreversible change faster and faster.

-Your transformed comrades will help you as much as they can without their powers, slowly trying to abtain any ability that will make it possible for them to aid you in your struggle.

-Time ticks, and you must hurry up, slack around for too long and Arin Belmont will forever be stuck as a woman.

Original series:

Castlevania, of course

EDIT: Got the third prize, you can see a journal about it here:

Who Even is Number 3?Our 3rd Place winner is: :iconmentalcrash:
With their entry Castlevania: Elders of Thessaly

This piece scored really well in all areas. In fact the only reason its taking third is because the other pieces scored nearly flawlessly. I really don't have much else to say here. It didn't score weakly in any area.
The cover is very Castlevania, the idea is very Castlevania. hell even the title could be the title of an actual Castlevania game. The idea is appropriate and fits the universe very well. The slow burn transformation throughout the duration of the game stands out from the majority of the entries which have instant transformations and then the character deals with it. The idea of an activated curse prolongs the tg for the duration of the game is very cool.
The idea of a weapon that smites evil without effort but progresses the curse faster is really cool as well. I imagine if this was real there would be an achievement for using it the minimum amoun
