The amount of ground you have covered in the castle can be viewed on a Metroid-style map that takes up just about the entire screen when it’s full.

He also gets familiars of varying types (demons, faeries, and even a sentient sword) to help fight his enemies. He can transform into a Wolf, Bat, and Mist (each of which has a few abilities of their own). First, he has a large set of spells (about 10 or so) that he can perform by using his MP (one of the three main statistics, in addition to HP and Hearts). Alucard is Dracula’s son, who had gone into a deep sleep for many years until he was awakened by the return of Dracula’s castle.Īs Alucard, you have a large number of equipment to choose from (daggers, one-handed swords, two-handed swords, fist-type weapons, rods, as well as armor, shields, capes, helmets, accessories, and usable items).Īlucard has many techniques at his disposal. You play as Alucard, a returning hero from the third installment of the series on the NES. Known in Japan as Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku (Demon Castle Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight), this game takes place after the first Dracula X game (specifically, “Dracula X: Rondo of Blood”). This game in the Castlevania series departs from the designs of the others, and takes the series into an RPG approach. I don't even remember the boss I found inside (I beat him like two days ago.).Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is an action role playing game for the PlayStation. I really love the boss fight against Maria (which seems to be different from the PSP version, but maybe my memory is playing tricks on me), but for the rest, there really nothing that memorable (the new area feels like a completely random addition and out of place, and if it was not the main new addition, I would wonder what's the use of this place anyway). For trying it these days, I definitely agree with you.

The new areas are not the same quality as the main game, gameplay wise and the visuals are also not as polished.įor me the game is better without the additions.
