Rusty

Rusty is a Castlevania-like game produced by C-Lab in 1993 for the Japanese NEC PC-9800 home computer. It implemented many elements that were rarely used in past games, such as usage of keys and whip-swinging obstacles, as well as introducing many original and innovative mechanics.
While the game can be considered to be a Castlevania clone (e.g.: the protagonist uses a whip to fight enemies), it in turn seems to have influenced following titles from this franchise - especially Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, which was released three months later, and which seems to borrow many aesthetics, layouts and character designs from Rusty.
Romhacking group 46 OkuMen released an English fan translation of the game in 2017.Rusty (ラスティ) by 46 OkuMen.
==Plot==
Many women have been abducted from various villages throughout a European countryside, and have been transformed by demon possession into hideous monsters, who are known as the Eight Fiends. Responsible for performing the sacrilegious act is Bloody Mary, a vampiress who is Queen of Bloodthorne Castle. Assisting her is a mysterious masked hunter named Gateau. Along with creating monsters, the two are also using the blood of women to resurrect the ancient vampire Monte Carlo, the Master of Bloodsoon Castle who has been deceased for 300 years.
Being implored by the townspeople and the village elder, Rusty Springcul sets out to rescue the girls, and vanquish the evil terrifying the land.
==Characters==
*Rustea "Rusty" Sprincul: The female protagonist of the game. A vampire huntress who happens upon an unnamed, distressed European village which is being victimized in an effort to resurrect the vampire count Monte Carlo, who has been dead for 300 years. She is capable of dashing and can whip straight up. She is also capable of grabbing on to grapple points with her whip and swinging (similar to Super Castlevania IV).
*Bloody Mary: Count Monte Carlo's main henchwoman and a vampiress. She is attempting to revive the count after 300 years.
*Marquis Monte-Carlo: The main villain, a Dracula-like vampire. The source of all the evils plaguing the village, he is an extremely powerful and ancient vampire who requires the blood of young women to be revived. He is the master of Bloodsoon Castle.
*Brian Gateau: A mysterious masked hunter/huntress who has been kidnapping girls by order of Bloody Mary (similar role to Shaft from Rondo of Blood). It considers Rusty a rival in terms of skill, and apparently used to be a hunter/huntress itself before turning evil for unknown reasons. Oddly enough, Brian helps Rusty after she defeats him for the last time.
