Chronos

A great gothic horror adventure

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Dracula X Chronicles is a "remastered re-release" of the '90s Castlevania game "Rondo of Blood" (which prior to this version had not be released outside of Japan). Included as unlockable bonus content are the original version of "Rondo of Blood", and the direct sequel to "Rondo of Blood", "Symphony of the Night" (originally released on the Playstation and Sega Saturn).

At first glance the game seems like an old-fashioned linear side-scroller; however most levels have multiple paths, and you are encouraged to explore every path of the game to find all of the hidden items and get the best ending. Furthermore, an easily accessible stage select feature allows you to revisit and explore previously defeated levels without restarting the game. All together, these features produce a rather unique game-play experience.

This game is also notable as one of the handful of Castlevania games in which you have the option of playing as a girl (although you must rescue Maria as Richter before you can play as her).

The graphics and music of the Dracula X Chronicles have been totally overhauled from that of Rondo of Blood, and now look and sound like something you might find on the PS2 (as opposed to Rondo of Blood, which look and sound like something for the SNES or Genesis). Some of the puzzles have also been made a little harder, there are a couple of new bosses, and there are more hidden items to find. Otherwise, however the two versions play almost exactly the same.

As for "Symphony of the Night", it is an entirely different game from Rondo of Blood, with a different main character, and a rather different game-play style. It is one of the first to adopt the "Metroidvania" style (the first if you don't count Castlevania II for the NES); in it Dracula's castle is like a maze you must explore, sometimes backtracking to an old area in order to use a new item or ability to access a new area (as in the Metroid series, and the GBA and DS Castlevania games).

Note that the version of Symphony included here is a new translation based on the Japanese Playstation version, and as such has a new English script, new voice acting, and a number of other differences from the US Playstation version.

"Rondo of Blood" and "Syphmony of the Night" are considered by many fans to be among the best of the Castlevania series, so any fans of the Castlevania series or gothic-fantasy-horror in general who have a PSP ought to consider checking the Dracula X Chronicles out if they haven't already.

Thoroughly enjoy these game(s) yes there's Symphony of the Night inside this game as a "secret" if you will. I did a little research to find out how to get it and it was worth it. Great game! I wish they would make more games like this for the PSP. But I suppose that's what makes this game special! Anyway 10 out of 10.

Pretty much a Castlevania's fan dream come true, in the palm of your hand!

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2008

Castlevania is one of the most beloved games of all time in video game history. Way back in 1986 it made a big splash with it's introduction on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Since then the series has progressed, and here in 2008 the series is as popular as it was back in 1986. People who have never played the series, now might be a good time with this gem of a catch, and I personally consider it to be the best PSP game around at this point.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is a collection of 3 games. The first unlocked game you're available to play off the bat is Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. This game overlooked by many was never released in the U.S, and finally in the palm of your hand. It's an amazing game from all directions, including amazing graphics, tremendous sound, and awesome gameplay. If you never played it before, this game is strictly focuing on the action aspects of the series. Lots of jumping, slashing and running from enemies. No worries about using magic or RPG elements to slow the game down. This is do, or die for this vampire slashing game. This particular version of Rondo of Blood can be considered a remix of the original(also included). What's so great about it, Castlevania fans will recognize the remixed music brought back from many of the original Castlevania games including the orignal level theme from the original Castlevania on the NES!! A true fans dream of hearing this music all new and synthesized with the power of the PSP. Even better, when you unlock the levels, you can setup each level with each theme song you want to use for that particular level, now how cool is that??? All that with new updated graphics, sound, etc. Rondo's graphics are amazing, the 3D cutscenes look great and although the game is considered to be 2D like the classic Castlevania games, you can probalby say it's 2.5 with the 3D look it has while all the action is taking place.

Word of warning, Rondo of Blood is an unbalanced game in difficulty with parts amazingly easy to get through and bouts of amazing difficulty levels that will frustrated casual gamers from the start. Replenishing energy is so sparse and the game makes you start levels over adds to the frustration. Even levels in the beginning will be test of ones patience because you're going to die, a lot. But the reward of getting through this game will be worth the price of admission because along your journey in Rondo, you can unlock probably the greatest game of all time, Symphony of the Night.

When you finally manage to unlock Castlevania Symphony of the Night (which by the way, is no easy task) this game alone would have been worth the price you pay for the game, that's how good it is. Before I get into the game itself, I have to slap Konami across the face not allowing people to play this game right out of the box. And considering it's right on the cover as one of the game choices, I was a bit angry myself when I turned the game on and couldn't jump right into Symphony. If you need to know exactly how to unlock it, there is a nice video of a guy on the youtube that shows you the path, that's probably your best bet unless you want to waste time looking for it yourself, because I will tell you, I would have never found it without knowing first.

Symphony of the Night orignally released in 1996 on the Playstation. It was kind of a rebirth for the series. Going back to it's roots with awesome action and incredible presentation. Considered by many to also be the best orchestrated score for any video game, ever, is quite a statement. And considering the gameplay is almost as good, you can't really pass this game up. What's so great about the game too is its' enormous size, it's a pretty long game, especially considering it's age, and once again, it's still considered by many to be the best adventure games ever. I actually didn't think the game would be awesome like it was on the PS1, boy was I wrong. The music, the graphics, the gameplay, it's all better on the PSP. Heck, they even redid the characters voices with all new dialogue. You need to crank this baby up with some nice headphones, wow! The game has an enormous amount of depth, the weapons, the magic, the things you can do seems unlimited and the amount of levels is astounding. Defintely take this game for those long road trips.

If you're looking for a PSP game that is worth money, you really can't go wrong with Castlevania Chronicles, it's three great games in one. I personally bought the game for being able to play Symphony of the Night in the palm of my hand, but amazingly, Rondo is very very fun too as long as you can deal with it's difficulty spats. Great sound, great graphics, fast load times, and 3 games in one. Sound good to you? Me too.

Castlevania + psp = greatness, all for $10

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2011

If you are a castlevania fan then this a must buy. It has multiple castlevania games wrapped up nicely in one polished package. The base game, rondo of blood, is very fun and borders between enjoyable and frustrating when trying for perfect runs and finding alternate routes. For newcomers, just know that this is an old school game and there no hand holding. When you're out of continues you start from the beginning of the level and each time you die you lose your sub weapon. If you keep on dying then you just need to get better at it or sell the game. The voice acting is bad, but that is part of its charm so don't expect a blockbuster from story and production values. There is tons to unlock between games and these are some of the greatest castlevania has ever presented. These games are not easy but also not as hardcore as something like contra. All in all, I love this game but then again I love castlevania games. A game this price is a great way to feel it out if you are new, but know that this a compilation of games with only 2d motion and simple mechanics. It is vastly different from the 3d, over the shoulder 3rd person action game that the series has evolved into on ps3 and xbox 360.

Was a Christmas gift the person who received the gift was very happy and having played Castlevania symphony of the night I can tell you its a great game for Castlevania fans its got allot of RPG elements like changing weapons and Leveling up but Castlevania is a very challenging game on the whole you can be overwhelmed by enemies of a high level.

Remade NES-hard classic with an added bonus

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2013

If you seek a challenge, this remade old-school Castlevania game is for you. In my opinion, this is a very good remake. Also, this game contains fan-favourite Castlevania Symphony of the Night...portable! I bought this game primarily for this SotN port, and it met my every expectation. The main game is pretty good, but very, very hard, in my opinion - but that's just part of its charm: You're gonna have to go through the levels and bosses several times before you get the strategy straight.

It is an amazing Castlevania old school in 2d and includes Symphony of the Night and the classic Rondo of Blood.
I enjoy a lot playing this game. If you want to play it you 'll have a lot of patience because his difficulty, but if you like Castlevania old school you won't need patience because you'll enjoy it.
