Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Awakened from his eternal slumber by the reappearance of Castlevania, Alucard must once again confront the evil minions of darkness. Use vampiric powers alongside weapons, potions, and magical relics to turn the tide of battle. This platform and role-playing action adventure is filled with hidden areas and secrets—can you uncover them all?

Set in 1797—five years after the events of Rondo of Blood—the story opens with Richter Belmont defeating Count Dracula, echoing the prior game’s ending. Yet even with Dracula beaten, Richter vanishes without a trace. Five years later Castlevania rises again, and with no Belmont to storm the castle, Alucard—Dracula’s son—awakens from his self-imposed sleep to investigate what happened while he slumbered. At the same time, Maria Renard, Richter’s sister-in-law, enters Castlevania to search for the missing Richter, and she helps Alucard multiple times during the journey.
