Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

(4.4)

1997

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is an action role-playing game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation. It was directed and produced by Toru Hagihara, with Koji Igarashi acting as assistant director. It is a direct sequel to Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, taking place four years later. It features Dracula's dhampir son Alucard (returning from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse) as the protagonist, rising from his slumber to explore Dracula's castle which resurfaced after Richter Belmont vanished. Its design marks a break from previous entries in the series, re-introducing the exploration, nonlinear level design, and role-playing elements first experimented with in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

Did you know that Alucard is Dracula backwards? And so now reprising his role as alucard, alucard will have to fight the monsters in the castle. All because Richter disappeared. Which is fun to play as Alucard (I love saying it and writing out Alucard). His move set is pretty solid and that is key to any castlevania game

This is a game anyone must play. Another example of deviating from its original style (but not too much since Simon’s Quest already did that) but proving that Castlevania can be more than just a linear game. Everything that was wrong with Simon’s Quest is fixed and made even better. Amazing score and gameplay, and as cheesy as the dialogue is it makes the game worth playing. Up there in GOAT games

Hands down the last good castlevania game. Now don't get me wrong. The ps2 games were not bad. But you can't compare or re-create anything like this. The game is a wonder mix of action platform and RPG. The game itself isn't the best part its the grinding that get you to the end. Not to mention one of the best gaming soundtracks of all time. This is a pretty available game. PsOne and I think its been released on every system since xbox360.

Incredible game and on my list for top 5 favorite of all time. This came out on the PlayStation 1 and is one of the few games that holds up today from graphics, to gameplay, and the atmospheric music. Short list of games everyone should play through at least once.

This was HARD AS HELL. I had a boyfriend who was super into it, and I spent a lot of time spectating. Totally worth the watching, totally worth watching the cursing.
