#castlevania: symphony of the night

Daaaaaamn girl! You’re cruisin’ right along!! How do you like the inverted castle so far?

It’s amazing! It gives you an appreciation for how a lot of rooms were designed not only one direction, but the other as well. The platforming is admittedly more difficult the other direction, but you’re also expected to have at least the double jump and Form of Bat, if not the Gravity Boots relic, so it’s understandable they didn’t make it too easily accessible. Regardless, the whole new lineup of monsters in addition to the new layout is a lot of fun!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

I went into this wanting to know if I actually enjoyed the Castlevania side of the Metroidvania genre and the answer if, not nearly as much as things that pull from the Metroid side of the equation. I don’t like the leveling, the level design itself is much less interesting and more of a chore to navigate.

I’m surprised I’ve heard such praise for the latter half of the game, as I found it a severe drop in enjoyability from the first half, which I was having a good time with. Oh well.

When you realize that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Pajama Sam 1 have the same exact opening:

Briefing on the lore behind the main conflict via a battle between the final boss and their arch nemesis complete with some hammy voice acting

Switching to a character who is not the final boss’ arch nemesis being unable to sleep because of feeling something off relating to the final boss

Running through the woods at night

Ambushed and having all your stuff taken away

Now go find the stuff all across this spooky land

(In the unlikely event this post somehow blows up I beg of you to let me see the fanart)

Maria Renard went through such a drastic change between Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. If you compare the two, there's such a disconnect between this:

and this:

that I can't help but wonder how a spunky if bratty magical girl became a relatively subdued (if no less powerful) character. Has someone written that fic?

Spooky Video Game Music No. 284: Rainbow Cemetery- ‬Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)

Castlevania returns to this list again and it’s another song from the ever popular Symphony of the Night. As mentioned before, Dracula’s Castle is one huge place. It has many different types of places. From a colosseum, a huge library, a church and many others, Dracula’s Castle is quite the labyrinth. We mentioned the Abandoned Pit a few years ago but what if we go deeper? Alucard ends up in the Catacombs, which is as you expect, where the dead go to rest. However, don’t expect it to be empty though. From wereskeletons, many skeleton enemies, slimes, gremlins and many other types of enemies, it’s quite a dangerous area. Not to mention there are some rooms where lava is which could imply that Alucard might be near to Hell. He must be prepared once he finds the boss of this scary place, the dreaded Legion…

The song does start foreboding and intimidating but afterwards, a funky beat plays. It’s quite catchy and joyous like there’s a party in the Catacombs. It might not sound scary but it does still feel unnerving, especially with the piano notes at 1:25, like the song is letting you know how dangerous the area is. It’s like the song is taunting the player and Alucard over a false sense of security. Yet, it still has that spooky atmosphere to it. It’s quite fitting for a Halloween party. Maybe Dracula or Shaft comes to the Catacombs to party with the enemies if things get boring. 🎃
