In the early 1990's, Konami released the original Castlevania which created a new genre of video games that became known as "Metroidvania." The game, which was an action platformer, featured the player as a vampire hunter who would explore a castle, finding new items and equipment that would help him or her progress to the next level. The game spawned many sequels and spin-offs.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is very similar to the original Castlevania. The player controls a vampire hunter who enters Dracula's castle to defeat him, using various weapons and equipment. The player can explore the castle in any order, with the main goal being to acquire a key that will allow them to reach the final level.
Graphics
The graphics in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are a step up from the original Castlevania. The game still features pixelated graphics, but the game's backgrounds are more detailed and the character sprites have more detail.
Replayability
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is still an excellent game today. Every time you beat the game, you can explore a different path.
Conclusion
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a must-play for any gamer. It is one of the best action platformers ever made, and it is still very fun to play today. I highly recommend trying to find this game, as it is still one of the best games in the Castlevania series.
