Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo

Developer: Konami

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is a landmark side-scrolling action-platformer from Konami on the PC Engine CD. You play as Richter Belmont, whipping through gothic stages, mastering sub-weapons, and rescuing captives whose fates unlock branching routes and a true ending. The game pairs precision platforming and tight combat with towering, multi-phase boss fights and CD-quality music that amplifies the atmosphere. Known for its challenge and replay value, Rondo rewards careful timing, exploration, and skillful use of allies. Nostalgic pixel art, memorable melodies, and hard-hitting encounters make it a standout for fans of classic, high-difficulty platform action.
