Castlevania rondo of blood pc engine controls
Also, this game is so hardcore that it begins with a virgin sacrifice. The intro is voiced in German, though, which doesn't make sense, considering the game is set in Romania and was intended for Japanese audiences. Basically, this is the standard Castlevania plot, but unlike previous games, it has plenty of voice acting to give it a more dramatic feel. After having had his girlfriend, Annette, captured by one of Dracula's servants, Richter volunteers to assault the Count's castle and put an end to him once and for all. The current heir to the Vampire Killer is a 19 year old man named Richter Belmont, who also happens to be this game's protagonist. Passed down from one Belmont to the next is the sacred Vampire Killer whip, a weapon of mythic power that is able to slay the creatures of the night. The only thing standing in his way is the legendary Belmont clan, a family of vampire hunters that have been keeping Dracula's evil at bay for generations. Leading the forces of darkness is none other than Count Dracula, who terrorizes humankind to fulfill his own sick desires. The game is set in the year 1792 within a fictional universe in which vampires and other monstrosities roam the Earth. The game certainly deserves its reputation, because it's darn good. Shortly thereafter, Rondo of Blood quickly garnered the reputation of being one of the best Castlevania games of all time. Through the art of imports and eventually the modern magic of emulation, people outside Japan finally got to experience the game. Some would argue that the reason the TG16 and TGCD didn't succeed overseas is due to the lack of good games being localized, but that's neither here nor there. While the system and its add-on did moderately well in Japan, they did poorly everywhere else, and so many of its greatest games never got released in North America and Europe. Outside Japan, the PC Engine and its CD add-on were known as the TurboGrafx-16 and the TurboGrafx-CD. The critically acclaimed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a direct sequel to this game. It was released exclusively in Japan on October 29, 1993.
