In comparison with the previous entry in the series, Super Castlevania IV, the game lacks the eight-directional whipping. He can also perform powerful 'item crash' attacks with his sub-weapons. Richter is trying to reach the end of each stage, defeating evil creatures on the way with his whip and traditional sub-weapons (throwing axes, daggers, holy crosses, etc.).
He takes the Vampire Killer, a powerful whip he inherited from his ancestor, and enters the castle, hoping to put an end to the Dark Lord's reign.Ĭastlevania: Rondo of Blood is, like its predecessors in the series, an action platformer. Richter Belmont, Simon's descendant, swears to free the women, among which is his fiancee Annette. His demonic servant Shaft is sent to nearby village to kill men, abduct women, and set the village on fire.
Count Dracula, the evil Transylvanian vampire lord, is resurrected in the year 1792, a century after the brave vampire hunter Simon Belmont vanquished him.
