_________________________

The most sought-after game in the entire Castlevania series, and the one we should've gotten in the first place (I hate you, Konami), Dracula X: Rondo of Blood had multiple secret stages, CD audio, awesome synth music, and animated cutscenes. And the game rocked too!

It's Castlevania on steroids. You don't have the multiple-direction whip from Castlevania IV, but in its place you have an item crash, which is a super attack which changes depending on your secondary weapon.

I'd write more, but I haven't played much of it. But know that it rocks. And that the SNES version has nothing to do with this game. OK, so the SNES version is a retooling, but this is much better.

Translation Description:

According to the site, the translation is 30% done. The graphics in the page show the intro with English text.

The patch above is for the ISO version of the game. There's a Bin/CUE version of the patch available at the main site (which is not hosted due to size concerns).
