Ok, i start playing and you notice something right away. The first town from Simon’s Quest, i thought that was pretty cool. My first impression was very good to say the least. Richter looks great and the background in the stage looks amazing. Another benefit of the CD is that the music files are big and proper so the soundtrack sounds amazing, the theme for this game “Bloodlines” or “Opposing Bloodlines” sounds in the video and in the first stage and you can already see that here we have a pretty cool game. Damn it Dracula is such a dick… Richter then of course has to fight through Draculas’ minions to save the girls and slay Dracula once again.Īnd daaaamn does this game start off cool! Since Rondo of Blood is released on a CD for the PC Engine there is space for some wicked cool anime like sequences. Draculas’ minions are attacking the nearby towns and while at it he kidnaps four girls, one of them being Richter girlfriend. Seems like Dracula will always come back if there are still wicked people in the world.

Dracula is brought back by the dark priest Shaft and his evil servants. In this one we actually get a new story woohoo! In Rondo of Blood we play as the young, strong and handsome lad Richter Belmont. Let’s see if it is worth the hefty price tag. You can buy that,or buy it on the PSP/Wii virtual console 🙂 The PC Engine itself costs about the same. A copy in good condition is being sold from around 160$, 110GDP or 150EUR. The reason it is so rare is because it was released only in Japan and only for the PC Engine CD add-on which was expensive and not as popular as the SNES in Japan. This rare gem is the Castlevania made for the Turbografx 16 or “PC Engine” in Japan.
