Each of the game's tracks are memorable and never fails to get you pumped up, it really makes use of the CD format when composing the soundtrack which is awesome. One thing that has been amazing with the games is always the soundtrack and if you love soundtracks in gaming you will love the soundtrack for Castlevania and especially this game.
On top of the animated cutscenes Rondo of Blood is a pretty great looking and sounded game, the sprite work is impressive, the details in the stages are cool, the enemy designs especially the bosses are all amazing fit in really well.

In the PSP and PS4 releases it does have an English Dub but it is rather sub-par and dull and the intro for whatever reason isn't voice dubbed in English but there is an option for Japanese voice tracks with English Subtitles instead which I think most people are going to go for. Since it was released on the CD add-on it made use of animated cutscenes which are these anime and the artstyle for the cutscenes are pretty amazing especially for 1993. Later on in the game Richter also meets a young gifted girl of the Renard family named Maria who insists in tagging along with Richter.
In Rondo of Blood the player takes control of a new Belmont named Richter who has to enter Dracula's Castle to rescue his girlfriend Annette alongside three other maidens who were captured and also end his tyranny once and for all. The Belmont carry the Vampire Killing Whip which is a Whip Blessed with Holy Power which is used for defeating Dracula and this is something of a running theme that runs in the Castlevania series, when there is a new Belmont that person then takes up the Vampire Killer Whip. The Castlevania games are always set up in a fictional town of Transylvania where there is a conflict between the Vampire Hunters of the Belmont Clan against the immortal Vampire known as Dracula who aims to wreak havoc on not only the world but also on the Belmont Clan as well. So let's get on with Rondo of Blood and see if this holds up. I was planning to do the later games of Metroidvania/Action RPG style Castlevania games sometime after but I figured cause I also had Castlevania Rondo of Blood to do in the collection also I might as well do it and get it out of the way before I eventually do those. Now I did take a look at Castlevania Symphony of the Night which was a follow up to Rondo of Blood and I was back in 2018 been looking forward to revisiting Symphony of the Night in the Castlevania Requiem collection on PS4.

Konami's next game in the Castlevania series would only be released on the CD add-on for the PC Engine as a Japanese exclusive and many people would not be aware of this until it was ported to the PSP in the Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles Remake as an unlockable game as Castlevania Rondo of Blood. It was a console to rival the NES but ended up against the Super Nintendo and SEGA Mega Drive and ended up being forgotten in the mists of time.
The Nintendo consoles had a great run of games in Konami's popular Castlevania series but for their next game in the series moved over to a console that very few people talk about, what I am talking about is the PC Engine or Turbografx 16 to American players. Released only in Japan in 1993 which were the days the CD based game consoles started to take off and the 16 bit era of consoles the Super Nintendo and SEGA Mega Drive where in massive competition.
