comment |
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (originally released in Japan as Akumaj� Dracula X: Chi no Rondo) was released for the PC Engine in 1993. Initially, it was only released in Japan but it was finally ported worldwide to the PlayStation Portable with Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, and subsequently to the Wii Virtual Console note Like all imports, however, this one does not have any English translation other than what was in the game to begin with., to the PlayStation 4 as part of the compilation Castlevania Requiem and to the PC Engine Mini/TurboGrafx-16 Mininote Like the Wii release, the version on the Turbografx model has no further English translation..In 1792, the evil priest Shaft resurrects Dracula, who proceeds to do the usual: set a horde of demons on the nearby town of Aljiba*(Though it looks more like Jova...) and kidnap any women who catch his fancy. This time, the women captured are Annette, who happens to be Richter Belmont's girlfriend; Maria Renard, the 12-year-old daughter of local vampire hunters; the local nun Tera, and the town doctor's daughter Iris.Richter, hearing of this in his hometown of Veros, heads off to save the townsfolk, get his girlfriend back, and settle this centennial blood feud his family has with Dracula. As he makes his way to the burning town, he's accosted by Death, and the game begins...Rondo plays similarly to previous Castlevania entries, mostly linear. However, you can also find hidden exits to reach alternate paths through the stages to fight different bosses. The ending depends on which girls you rescue, and you can play the game as Maria if you find her. You can enhance your subweapons into an Item Crash that usually fills the screen with large projectiles.Most famously, however, Rondo is known for being directly followed up by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which features Richter and Maria meeting up with Alucard from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and for recreating the Final Boss of Rondo in the prologue level.The PC Engine version was released in Super CD-ROM format, so Rondo of Blood has a redbook soundtrack and voice-acted cutscenes. This bump in production value led to Konami upping the values for their subsequent games.A remixed port was released for the Super Famicom titled Akumaj� Dracula XX (as in "Double X") in 1995, which was released for the SNES as Castlevania: Dracula X in North America and as Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss in the PAL region. While the basic plot and game system remained identical to the PC Engine, the stages were all-new and a lot more linear (with only two hidden stages) due to the lower memory capacity of the cartridge format, and unlike the PC Engine version, only Richter was playable.On June 11, 2021 an Animated Adaptation that serves as a Sequel to Castlevania (2017), titled Castlevania: Nocturne, was announced. |

Not-So-Harmless Villain: The painting sub boss on the ghost ship level. It slowly flies around the room, basically being a huge target and will die after a few attacks. However, if you get careless and it touches you, it will one-shot you. To top it off, the subject in the painting will change to look like he's laughing at you. |

Power-Up Letdown |
| | Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Video Game) / int_18683fc2 |
comment |
Power Up Letdown: To compensate for her many advantages, Maria has several absolutely worthless secondary weapons. She has the music book, which is like the throwing knife but lacks even a useful Item Crash, and a weapon that sends two birds diagonally upwards, which is totally useless except in certain rare circumstances (although at least it has a useful Item Crash). Attempting an Item Crash with the Key leads to Richter powering up... and falling back to earth with a Confused Question Mark above his head, wondering what the heck you're trying to do. Then again, the key does have its uses. |

comment |
Title Drop: While the furigana in the game's subtitle reads Chi no Rondo for "Rondo of Blood," the literal reading is Chi no Rinne, meaning "Samsara of Blood." The latter is the title of the game's final stage (although the English version of the PSP port simply renders it "Bloodlines" to tie in with Symphony of the Night doing the samenote One of the localisation team for Symphony of the Night's many screw-ups, dropping a different title entirely). |

Graceful Loser: Dracula takes his defeat quite well in the original game, even wondering if Richter might be in the right, though he also points out how the avarice of man is what caused his resurrection and promises to meet Richter again. This is averted in the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night rendition of the finale, where he's far more contemptuous of mankind and faces his demise with an anguished This Cannot Be! |

Stealth Pun: Akumaj� Dracula X was literally the tenth Akumaj� Dracula/Castlevania game released by Konaminote That said, the "X" itself isn't "ten"; it's pronounced as the letter X. Before this, there was the original NES trilogy (3), Vampire Killer for the MSX2 (4), the arcade game Haunted Castle (5), the two Game Boy games (7), Super Castlevania IV for the Super NES (8), and the original Sharp X68000 version of Castlevania Chronicles (9). |

Advanced Movement Technique: Backflip cancelling, where you do a backflip while moonwalking (walking backwards by holding down the attack button), then attack while in midair, which prevents the backflip's lengthy landing animation from playing, letting you do another backflip immediately. This lets you backflip your way through the whole game faster than if you walked normally. |

Easter Egg |
| | Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 |
comment |
Easter Egg: Stage 5 has a hidden mirror in a room only Maria can reach. It does nothing. Attempting to play the game with a PC Engine CD System Card v1.0 has a creative error message in the form of "Akumajyo Dracula Peke", a minigame with cutesy graphics and only two enemies that ends in an error message and Maria apologizing. This was also included in the Dracula X Chronicles, as an unlockable, Requiem, as an easter egg by inputting the Konami Code on the title screen, and the Turbografx 16 Mini by holding the Select button while loading Rondo of Blood. While the version on the Turbografx-16 Mini is left untranslated, The other two versions change the error message, with DXC simply telling you how to exit, while Requiem's version, for your usage of the Konami Code, tells you there's no extra life codes and calls you a "cheater". Attempting to listen to the game's music in a CD player will play a brief Audio Play with Richter and Maria warning that the following track contains game data that cannot be played correctly on a CD player, and that you should probably turn down the volume. |

Lethal Joke Character |
| | Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Video Game) / int_36249acd |
comment |
Lethal Joke Character: Maria has a very small hurtbox, a Double Jump (one of the first, if not the first, characters with this), can abuse her slides and rolling, regenerates health by eating cakes, and has different subweapons than Richter, making her a Hyper-Competent Sidekick. She does take more damage when hit, but between her Double Jump, Invulnerable Attack (that isn't even an Item Crash), and small hurtbox, she can dodge many attacks more easily than Richter. She also has an insanely high-damage Invulnerable Attack Spell, although you need to know the input combination first. This is an entirely different attack from the Item Crashes, which both characters have access to (though the Item Crash is different, depending on the subweapon — and Maria's subweapons are quite different from Richter's), and which are also generally Invulnerable Attack moves which do high damage. |

comment |
This was also included in the Dracula X Chronicles, as an unlockable, Requiem, as an easter egg by inputting the Konami Code on the title screen, and the Turbografx 16 Mini by holding the Select button while loading Rondo of Blood. While the version on the Turbografx-16 Mini is left untranslated, The other two versions change the error message, with DXC simply telling you how to exit, while Requiem's version, for your usage of the Konami Code, tells you there's no extra life codes and calls you a "cheater". |

Power Makes Your Voice Deep: Dracula's voice deepens mid-word as he transforms into a massive bat-creature for the second part of the final battle. Conversely, when that form is defeated, he roars in pain, and his voice spontaneously rises back to normal as his transformation is forced to revert. |

Jump Physics: Your jumps aren't as stiff as the NES trilogy, but are a bit less controllable than they are in Super Castlevania IV. Richter also jumps and moves a bit more slowly in the SNES version, despite still having the same maneuverability otherwise. Maria has a Double Jump, while Richter has a backflip (it's not invincible, though, and can fall into a pit if used carelessly). |

Nostalgia Level |
| | Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Video Game) / int_56b5a6b7 |
comment |
Nostalgia Level Stage 1 claims to be the Town of Aljiba from Simon's Quest, but more closely resembles Jova. It's also combined with a portion of Stage 1 from Dracula's Curse. Stage 2, as usual, is the Castle Entrance Corridor from the original NES game. Stage 4 is mostly taken from Stage 5 of the original game, though fortunately without the horrifying Axe Armour/Medusa Heads corridor, and without Death at the end. Stage 6 is a Boss Rush against four of the bosses from the original NES game. In the PC Engine version, the stage's background music is a remixed version of the NES game's boss theme titled "Poison Mind." Stage 7 is a redesigned version of the first game's Clock Tower final stage, updated to feature more of the design aspects that had later become associated with Clock Tower levels (moving gears, Medusa heads). Except for the final room, which is instead a shout-out to the final room in the Dracula Clock Tower in Dracula's Curse. |

Nintendo Hard: Unlike Super Castlevania IV, Richter lacks the multi-directional whipping, and many of the enemies are a lot faster and more aggressive than you'd expect. Even the typical bone skeleton throws bones almost all the time, and enemies that attack in swarms like mermen and zombies spawn at a faster rate than in earlier games. Additionally, the length of the Mercy Invincibility is a tiny fraction of what it normally is, making it possible to go from full HP to none in roughly a second if you happen to get stuck next to an enemy. |

Kaizo Trap: Bosses will perform one final attack upon defeat. Subverted in that it can't defeat you, but it could ruin your vitality score and deny you the extra life you'd normally get for finishing the level with full health. Unlike the others, Shaft's attack (Stage 6) COULD kill you in both the original and the remake. Subverted with Laura; she coughs up a bunch of hearts instead, boosting your score. Carmilla has one, though, as it shatters into pieces. |

Mini-Boss: The Giant Skull in Stage 3', which is a Flying Face that must be defeated by destroying its eyes. In Stage 5, there's the Captain's Portrait, which takes a couple of hits to kill. If the portrait catches you (and your subweapon doesn't kill it fast enough), it will kill you in one hit. |

Art-Shifted Sequel: The first Castlevania game to adopt an anime-influenced art style, which is especially visible in the animated cutscenes. Even during gameplay, the graphics have brighter and bolder look, with eye-popping primary colors and lush purples replacing the drab grays, greens, and browns that dominate the earlier games, especially Super Castlevania IV. |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: If you've been playing as Maria for a while and switch to Richter, there's a good chance you'll back-flip off a cliff or into an enemy at least once while attempting to Double Jump. If you started playing Richter in Symphony of the Night or Portrait of Ruin, he's going to seem a LOT slower and clumsier here. |

The portrait of the Captain at the midpoint of the ghost ship, stage 5, is the only enemy of its type in the game. It's not too difficult to defeat but if you miss a swing and it grabs you, it delivers a One-Hit Kill. |

And I Must Scream |
| | Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Video Game) / int_a8a04f6f |
comment |
And I Must Scream: A unique enemy in the Ghost Ship is an evil painting which contains the soul of the ship's captain, trapped there for eternity. Let it touch you, and your character becomes trapped there instead, killing you instantly; if this happens, though, the painting downright shatters, so whether it counts as this trope for them is debatable. |

Unique Enemy |
| | Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (Video Game) / int_b0e18b32 |
comment |
Unique Enemy: The man-eating plant/stone rose only appears once in a corridor in the village. Going in that direction is entirely pointless, as it's a dead end. It's much more common in other games, though. On the same path is the only Ectoplasm in the entire game. However, encountering it is mandatory when going through the alternate path and it curses on touch. Golden Medusa Heads can only be found in stage 5'. The portrait of the Captain at the midpoint of the ghost ship, stage 5, is the only enemy of its type in the game. It's not too difficult to defeat but if you miss a swing and it grabs you, it delivers a One-Hit Kill. |

These same sprites would go on to be reused in several other Castlevania games. Dracula X Chronicles played this straight by adding a little black loincloth in both the 2D and 3D versions. The Symphony of the Night version is still without underwear. It also appears in the western Virtual Console versions released in North America and Europe. |

Harping on About Harpies: Two harpies appear in the clock tower level. They carry daggers which they throw at the player character, and must be defeated with a carefully placed attack afterwards. |

Video Game Sliding: Maria Renard in Rondo of Blood marks the first time a character in the Castlevania franchise has the ability to slide. Richter would not obtain this ability until the following game. |

Just a Kid: Maria gets this treatment by Richter after he rescues her. He doesn't take her claims of being a vampire hunter seriously and tells her that she's too young to join him. She's not happy and insists otherwise, prompting him to laugh. |

Anti-Frustration Features |

Anti-Frustration Features: When picking up a new subweapon, your old one drops to the ground, and you can opt to switch back. Did you get killed by Shaft after beating the four bosses he summoned? Instead of fighting them all over again, you'll only need to fight him. If you manage to lose the key in the hidden section of Stage 4', the ferryman will give a copy of it to you if you bug him enough times. |

Lethal Joke Item |

comment |
Lethal Joke Item: The Key's item crash costs no hearts to use, but it's still an Invulnerable Attack. For a certain value of "attack". Also, its standard attack hits as hard as four whip strokes, though you need to be practically touching an enemy for it to connect. |

Fake Ultimate Mook: The giant golems in the first stage. They tower above your character and look menacing enough, but they're actually quite easy to kill and slow to attack. |

Post-Final Level: After the fairly brutal Stage 7, Stage 8 is nothing but a short ascent up some stairs to Dracula himself. And a hidden stairway to some bonus items. |

Mana Burn: During the Carmilla Boss Fight, her assistant Laura will grab you and drain your Hearts. For Richter, this attack looks like a Kiss of Death, but on the shorter Maria, it looks more like Marshmallow Hell. |

Wake-Up Call Boss: The Werewolf. Stage 2 is already a difficulty spike in and of itself, but the Werewolf is much faster than your character, unpredictable, and requires you to think fast or die. |
