phoenix_shade Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I have to admit I was vastly unprepared for how difficult this game was going to be. I strolled along level 1 lal;alala oh this is a fun kick back to super castlevania, relaxing. Level 2 DIE A MILLION TIMES TO AXE KNIGHT Then, a miracle happens, I somehow get past that on one attempt. DIE TO FLOATING EYEBALL DIE TO RANDOM BATS Game over. *tries again* DIE TO AXE KNIGHT .... *puts down headset and seeks therapy online* This is level 2?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHellsing Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I know the feeling, when I attempted the game, level 2 was just... ugh, them crows, that axe knight... just... ugh... I'll try and beat the game eventually, but I don't want to tear my hair out with that game yet. Besides... I still gotta beat SOTN still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_shade Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 I will admit though that the music is way better than SOTN. Sounds like a tribute to Super Castlevania which was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cave Johnson Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Reading this thread just makes me wish there was a speedrun trophy for Rondo of Blood Seriously though, just unlock Maria and the game will be much easier. All you have to do is save her in Stage 2; I don't think you even need to complete it. However, you'll still have to play as Richter to the save the other three girls and beat the final boss. Assuming you want all the trophies, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can save the other 3 with Maria as well but you do have to beat Dracula with Richter and Maria for their respective trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I played Stage 3' as Maria, I didn't see Tera for some reason. From that, I just assumed you had to be Richter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aZombieDictator Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Are people really calling this game bad because they suck at it? What a shame you can't just blow through and easily get the trophies. It's a game from 1993, its most likely going to be difficult and something you're not use to if you didn't grow up playing games in that era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue the design of older games like this is in fact bad. It's designed to be purposefully cheap in order to extend an otherwise short experience. There's a difference between cheap and challenging. But hey, to each their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowxSakura Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Rondo is definitely the best of the classic castlevania games, it's not difficult, but I did grow up playing these games. Bloodlines is probably the 2nd best one behind it, castlevania 4 is pretty bad however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always played both the original and the PSP remake with Maria and didn't need to switch to Richter except for Stage 5' in the remake because it wasn't possible to get some unlockable without him.

Jamescush147 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Oh yeah, I'm taking my sweet time getting back to that. I kick ass in Super Castlevania but this is HARD. Plus I know nothing about anything in the game. Next weekend.... I will finish it! ? Then Richter on SOTK. ?

However, if you compare it to Super Castlevania which came out in 1991, it's definitely much worse. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojama_Country Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 All the classic-style Castlevania games are really bad. I'd say that they've aged poorly, but that would be a lie, since they all had terrible controls and clunky gameplay, even for their time. There is a reason why the series ended up abandoning the godawful classic gameplay style in favor of the SOTN style, which was actually fun. Anyway, Rondo of Blood is actually pretty easy once you unlock Maria, since she controls a lot better, and you can abuse her Genbu subweapon to cheese a lot of the bosses.

You're correct. I thought it had to be done as Richter until DarkHarmonixer pointed that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximimon Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The game is rough sure , not impossible and its far from trash , if anything there is quite an element of satisfaction once you get better at it and beat a level with no damage , which is a trophy btw .

Jamescush147 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It took me an hour to finally pass the Ship level and kill Death. ? Stupid flying flea guys. ? So many...so damn many. ?

SMDoS2 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Just got all trophies from Rondo. Off we go to SOTN It's really boring not gonna lie, but the adrenaline rush I got from some bosses was better than any Dark Souls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
