There is also money to be found in the game, and various accessories to buy. The hero receives experience points for defeating enemies, gains levels, and becomes more powerful. The action-based gameplay incorporates now strong RPG elements. Unlike the previous installments of the series, the game is set in a castle which the player can explore freely with many different paths, although often items in certain areas need to be found that will allow passage to others. Symphony of the Night is a direct sequel to Rondo of Blood. Alucard, the son of Dracula, is awakened from his eternal slumber after this large shift in power and enters into the castle to find some answers and confront his father.

Now, Richter has suddenly vanished, Dracula's castle has mysteriously reappeared, and Maria, now a young woman, sets off to find Richter. Still, it definitely is one of the more unique Castlevania fan projects and one to keep an eye on.Five years ago, Richter Belmont, the latest in the Belmont lineage and the one destined to be a Vampire Hunter, defeated Dracula in a brutal battle which nearly cost him the love of his life, Annette, and her sister, Maria. Especially if Konami decides to take action against it, as the company has been known to do. Pigsy is a self-confessed newbie at this, so it may be a while before the project is released. The two will have different routes through the castle that will be split into around eight levels each. The game will actually have two modes: one with Alucard and one with Maria, who will play very differently from one another. Pigsy has also stated their intent to use a combination of assets from both the PlayStation and Saturn versions, including the extra content from the latter. Progress has been made, as seen in the images above, but the goal is not to port the entire game to the system but instead use it as a basis for a traditional Classicvania experience based on the legendary title. YouTuber Pigsy has begun attempting to back-port the game to Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, after previously having ported the Game Gear Shinobi to the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Symphony of the Night is the most famous Castlevania game, and it seems it may be coming to another system….unofficially at least.
