The eternal battle of Good and Evil has come full circle once more. But now, he awakens to the cackles of evil and cries of the innocent. To purge the world of his own cursed bloodline, Alucard had submerged his powers and fallen into what was meant to be eternal slumber. Meanwhile, powerful forces struggled for the soul of Alucard, who had once fought alongside Trevor Belmont against his father, Count Dracula himself. Castlevania, the castle of Dracula, suddenly materialized from the mist, and Soleiyu entered. However, four years later, on a glaring full-moon night, Christopher mysteriously vanished. Dracula's scheme foiled because of the combined power of Christopher Belmont and his son, Soleiyu. Christopher Belmont fights and defeats Count Dracula, laying him to rest and freeing his son, Soleiyu, from his curse. Instead of retelling the ending to Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, however, it instead retells the ending of Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Similar to the original game, Symphony of the Night begins with a prologue. The music for most areas has also been changed to music from other Castlevania games. All of his classic sub-weapons are available from the beginning, and can be changed from the 'SELECT' screen. While Christopher cannot level up, he can increase his attack output by defeating bosses. The map has been slightly changed to match Christopher's classic play-style, with rooms being relocated or removed, and extra platforms being added into areas. In this mode, players play as Christopher Belmont prior to the events of the main game. If the player defeats the true final boss, Belmont Mode is unlocked. Pressing 'SELECT' allows players to view the map of the current area they are in, and also transform into any Forms or use certain abilities collected. From here, the player can also view a Bestiary, detailing monsters they have fought during the game. Mist Form has been changed, with it instead acting more like the invicibility potions from previous Castlevania games, with Alucard being able to walk through enemies and certain walls (but unable to attack).Īlucard can change equipment and Spells through the inventory, accessed by pressing 'START'. While the Bat Form and Mist Form are present, Wolf Form is missing. Alucard cannot use sub-weapons, instead only being able to use his Dark Magic abilities (labelled here as 'Spells'), which are mapped to the traditional sub-weapon button combination (Up + B). There is only one weapon type: swords, which can come in short or long variants. The game is overall slower, similar to the other Game Boy Castlevania entries (although it is overall faster than those games). Alucard can buy weapons, armor, accessories and Spells from the shop located in the Marble Gallery.Ĭombat is much more limited compared to the original game. Relics are also present, although there are nowhere near as many as the original. Levelling is present, as are all the original game's stats. Instead of the variety of weapon, armor and accessory equipment slots, there are only four slots: Weapon, Armor, Accessory and Spell. While the Game Boy version maintains the original's role-playing game elements, they are heavily streamlined. Alucard can save at pre-designated Save Rooms, or warp to different areas from Warp Rooms. While the game is non-linear, most areas are inaccessible until Alucard has obtained a certain transformation or ability, such as the Bat Form or Mist Form. The game's objective is to explore Dracula's castle, Castlevania, to find and defeat Christopher Belmont (who claims he's the lord of the castle). Symphony of the Night is a two-dimensional side-scrolling exploration-action game.
