* NintendoHard: The ''VideoGame/{{Prince of Persia|1}}''-esque gameplay style and Kyle being unarmed the whole game logically result in this; the player must deal with enemies of all kinds, from little demons to large Frankenstein's Monster-like brutes, and many of them can and will attack you with relentless supernatural strength, greatly punishing the player for lacking either timing or precision, if not both. Even the very first enemy seen in the game becomes harder and harder to deal with as you go along. And then there's the stages themselves, filled with more, deadlier traps just as punishing as the enemies inhabiting them. Fortunately, the U.S. version has infinite continues to help. [[spoiler:But that won't necessarily help you save Erin.]]

''Nosferatu'' is an overlooked action-platformer, released for the UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem on October 1995 (October 1994 in Japan). Having nothing to do with the [[{{Film/Nosferatu}} similarly-named 1922 movie]], it nonetheless involves a creature of the night -- a vampire -- by the name of Nosferatu. One fateful night, a woman named Erin becomes his latest victim as the vampire takes her away to make her his undead bride, prompting her husband, Kyle, to ride to his castle to rescue her from his clutches... before it's too late.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Kyle lacks any sort of weapons or means of defending himself. The result is ''beating the shit'' out of monsters and abominations with his fists and leap kicks. Of course, that's easier said than done against the supernatural, but WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer
