    Great review man! I totally agree that not even an option for the original dubbing on Symphony is a straight up crime. I also hate that they changed the ending theme. "I Am the Wind" was super cheesy but personally I loved it. I might get this at some point just to have an easy way of playing Rondo and SOTN with trophies but the PS1 version will always be my favorite.

    I know this is an older video but I was wondering what the differences/similarities are in playing Richter and Maria instead of Alucard in Symphony of the Night? I know Alucard gets a bunch of upgrades and such as you go. Do they get the same upgrades and power ups too as they go along or different ones or do they stay at relatively the same power levels as you go? I played around with them a little at the beginning and felt like I died really fast. (I’m not great at dodging lol) Does the save feature work the same for both of the as well? Thanks for any help or thoughts on this!

  • @AGDGameland

    I am really sorry about the delayed response, but Richter and Maria don't recieve any upgrades like Alucard does, but they do have quite a few special moves that can be done that help a lot. They have dashes and they can have moves similar to the gravity boots where they can ascend vertically. This helps get to high places without getting upgrades. Also, they do have item crash attacks that can be incredible at dealing damage to bosses and enemies. I would look up a move list for both of them because this will help a lot. Neither of them can withstand a lot of damage from attacks, but you can save at all of the normal save points throughout the game with them. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching, by the way!

    I've not played a Castlevania game (aside from LoS on xbox 360, which as I understand things was a radical departure from the ethos of the originals). People citing this as a prototype for the Souls games and, in particular, Bloodborne has really piqued my interest though. I'm also beginning to make forays into retro gaming. and this seems like another port of call.

    This title is a great start because it shows both styles of most Castlevania titles: Rondo of Blood plays much more like the old Castlevania games (besides Simon's Quest) and SotN started a new trend of being non-linear and an action-RPG. There is also a Castlevania collection on modern consoles that is strictly old style Castlevania. That is a fantastic way of playing all of those old titles.

    There's just one thing I cannot find for Requiem online: does the ambiguous "Voice Language" option in the menu allow both the games to be played with English text and Japanese audio? Symphony is so overly popularized that there's a myriad of translation patches and stuff out there to play it with English text and Japanese audio, but Rondo is not the same. There's one PC-Engine fan translation, but for whatever reason, it also patched in the really cringy English voices from the PSP release. I've been looking for a way to play Rondo with English text but the much better original Japanese audio. If this does it, it's an instant buy for me.

    Well I would say as far as resolution, they probably are both in 1080p, the Requiem version has a nice amount of trophies that are fun to get, it has the ability to play as Maria which isn't an option in the 360 version, and everything feels really solid in the gameplay. Plus you get Rondo of Blood as an added bonus. So since it costs $15 for the 360 one (if I remember correctly) and $20 for the Requiem version, I would say the extra 5 bucks is worth the extra content in my opinion.

The only thing about buying stuff on PS3 now is you have to put money into your Sony wallet on a PC (it reminds me of the awful points stuff that the Wii did for digital media) and then you can buy afterwards. I bought a few PS2 games on there recently and I had to spend $15 for a $10 game due to it charging tax. Just wanted to warn upfront about that.

    idk, maybe it's because I have been gaming since the early 90s but I just never really get all that excited about having "extras" with rereleases or collections. I never do more than a cursory look over them anyway. i can kinda see why some people are upset, but I'm just happy to have a cheap and easy way to play these as Symphony is still around 50$ on Playstation (original disc), and there is no way in hell I will ever spend the money needed to get an original copy of Rhondo and the crazy pc engine+add on needed to play it. I like retro games but have no desire to own some of more obscure and expensive systems.

Maybe one day Konami will learn.

You literally said afew times that Rondo was only available previously on japanese PC. Also its a port for people to play yeah alot do galleries, more flashy menus but noone even really looks at it and dismiss it. You get a port of two games that run great, better than in their past counterparts. There are options for the screen changes to suit people and sidebar graphics but you complain because you prefer a boarder. Man was this a whiny and nitpicky review.
