Castlevania: Rondo of Blood - Divine Bloodlines (Extended)

[@charmanderlover6433]

Rondo of Blood is officially 30 years old today (October 29, 2023). Happy birthday, Richter! I'll be playing this on loop for a while to celebrate. 😊🥳

Lol had me laughing.. this song will hit when I hit a muscle up

[@joesaiditstrue]

I heard this song (This specific version from an imported copy of Rondo on a PC Engine CD system) back in, I wanna say 1999-2000 Hearing this quality of music on an ancient 16bit game console was an otherworldly experience to say the least I never grew up playing Sega CD, so hearing CD quality music like this on a 16bit console was just weird and also made me want a TurboGrafx 16 CD. I just pre-ordered the Analogue Duo console a couple months ago, and I'll be picking up an imported copy of Rondo to pair up with it

Welp Netflix is making a new Castlevania anime and to most everyone's surprise including me they're skipping a generation yeah Netflix is not doing animated adaptions of Castlevania 1, and Simon's Quest like we all suspected instead this new anime will be set during the late 1700s meaning yep Netflix for this new Castlevania anime is adapting Rondo of Blood which means the Belmont that'll be the lead hero is Richter.

[@quenonisbsphennin4286]

cant blame them for skipping simons quest but like at least include them in some kind of intro like at least some scene the length of a jojo anime opening cuz castlevania and jojo have a lot in common especially part one

The Dracula X version was dope, but this version is superior! The guitar is dope and this song has more of a serious tone to it compared to the jumpy version in Dracula X! I will say tho, the Boss theme, Bloody Tears, and Illusionary Dance tracks from Dracula X are superior to the Rondo versions

[@elquiltro92]

Sounds too electronic and animated for an introduction in a burning city. People may disagree, but I found the Smash version better... I mean, the violin really catches the feeling of drama and heroism of the Belmont clan, specially in a series like Castlevania. This version sounds more like a Mega Man theme.

[@juanwick730]

Completely wrong, this song and that level both slap. but I respect your opinion.

[@island3609]

I agree, but I think this version still sounds badass regardless.

[@bonnierabbit1413]

Yeah but by its own right this Castlevania on its own was the best even it being a prequel to Symphony of the Night

[@quenonisbsphennin4286]

i feel like the songs in castlevania are about the thematic journey of the belmont more than the level setting itself, that kind of music design came mostly from sotn and the gba/dsvanias. This song in particular is richter realizing the mission of his bloodline and the setting of the burning city serves to tell this story, he has to go through the fire where others would run, because his bloodline before him is destined to battle dracula time and time again. Where there is dracula, there will always be a belmont to battle him, always be someone from those “Divine Bloodlines”

[@wallymeatson4430]

The reason why this sounds too electronic is because, at the time, the development team wanted to show how Castlevania is evolving in sound.

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

Hot take: ALL Castlevania games made before 1997 but especially Akumajōu Dracula X Chi No Rondo has a much better soundtrack than 1997 Symphony Of The Night.

[@madextreme2682]

I don't think you could favor any soundtrack over the other... Rondo has epic ost , SC 4 has epic , SOTN has epic ost

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

@@madextreme2682 I personally like SotN the least of them. Don't get me wrong, I still like it. I just think Rondo, SC4, Castlevania Chronicles/Akumajō Dracula on Sharp X68000 are much better. But hey, just my opinion
