Ep.78 – Dracula's Best Kept Secret

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997)

We look back at Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, released for the original Playstation in 1997. As part of our discussion, we briefly talk about the history of the Castlevania franchise. While looking specifically at Symphony of the Night, we look at the history of its producer and assistant director. Dave spends some time talking about his own love of the game, before we look at critic and user reviews. Finally, we talk a bit about the Metroidvania genre and the legacy it's left behind otherwise. Join us for today's vampire-hunting trip down Memory Card Lane.
