You don’t need to finish the game to unlock the classics, instead you have to find secret items. Also thrown into the mix are unlockable versions of the original Rondo of Blood (I can hear the fans cheering now) and a port of 1997’s PlayStation game Castlevania: Symphony of Night.
That’ll please hardcore UK Castlevania fans who never had the opportunity to play Rondo of Blood back in the day. By lick of paint we mean some 3D cut scenes, complete with voice acting, and new side-scrolling 3D visuals – this isn’t a gameplay overhaul, just a modernization. It’s essentially the same 2D game but with a lick of paint (there are a couple of new touches, like a brand new boss, the Hydra). The Dracula X Chronicles is a remake of 1993’s Japan only 2D side-scrolling action game Castlevania Rondo of Blood. Unfamiliar with the whole Castlevania thing? Allow us to enlighten you. Is this a good thing? For hardcore Castlevania fans it will be, but, in the grand scheme of things, a really hard game, so hard it makes you mad, isn’t that good. It’s a reminder of how things used to be, before everyone got hot and bothered about making games appeal to more casual audiences, about making games easy enough to finish and about making games for the Nintendo Wii.
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is hard.
