Product Information
You can return to Castlevania to avenge the kidnapping of Annette and rid the world of the evil Dracula in this version of the popular vampire series. In Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, also known as Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo in Japan, you play as Richter Belmont, whose beloved Annette has been kidnapped by Dracula. The hero, Richter, is a 19 year-old vampire hunter who must face an increasingly difficult gauntlet of bosses and enemies during his mission. Along the way, using his whip as his main weapon, he may rescue up to four other prisoners, including Annette’s sister Maria, who can be turned into a playable character. This is the 10th game in the Castlevania franchise and was released in Japan by Konami in 1993. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is a platform adventure game for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM virtual console. It is set in the fictional universe used throughout the Castlevania chronicles, and follows the protagonist Richter Belmont, who must become a vampire killer in order to save his beloved Annette from the evil clutches of Dracula. The objective of the game is to battle your way through nine stages featuring four alternate routes as you search for Annette and ultimately confront Dracula in his lair. Taking place in 1792, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is set in a fictional universe that chronicles the eternal conflict between the vampire hunting Belmont clan and their arch enemy, the immortal Dracula. During the game, there are numerous attempts by Dracula’s lieutenant, Death, to stop Richter, but during the game Richter manages to free four maidens who help him in his fight against Dracula. In Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, you play as Richter, and have to fight many bosses located in the castle before you can get to Dracula. Richter uses a whip as his main weapon, and has six sub-weapons to choose from: a dagger, holy water, an axe, a grimoire, a cross and a pocket watch. While exploring the castle, you encounter many characters, including four maidens, one of whom is Annette’s younger sister Maria Renard. Maria becomes a playable character in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, and can attack using her doves, as well as six sub-weapons: a dragon whelp, a baby phoenix, a turtle, an egg, a white tiger kitten and musical notes. Maria is very agile and can do double jumps, as well as inflict more damage than Richter, but she also takes a lot more damage than Richter. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood incorporates many elements from previous chronicles of the game, such as featuring linear game play and letting you take your time to explore each stage at leisure. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood makes use of untimed stages with a clear beginning, but features more than one possible ending to some levels. This affects the subsequent stage and environment, as well as the smaller bosses and big boss that is encountered. Later versions of the game feature many of the same bosses. Items such as food, money and hearts can be found scattered around the game stages, and you have to collect them to keep yourself strong for your ultimate fight against Dracula. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood can be an enjoyable game and can give you hours of entertainment with a battle between good and evil.Product Identifiers

Repro
A bit expensive for a repro, even a popular one. The instruction booklet was nice, not really accurate, but pretty cool. Knock 20-30 bucks off and it would have been a pretty good dealVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
