Why Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles Should Be on GOG
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is one of the most underrated and essential collections in the Castlevania franchise. Released for the PSP in 2007, this bundle is more than just a remake—it’s a celebration of Castlevania's finest moments. It features a full 2.5D remake of Rondo of Blood, unlockable versions of the original Rondo of Blood, and the legendary Castlevania: Symphony of the Night—all in one incredible package.
The remake adds beautiful new visuals, voice acting, and animated cutscenes while preserving the tight gameplay of the original. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, The Dracula X Chronicles offers a fantastic way to experience the transition from the classic linear games to the Metroidvania style that would define the series moving forward.
Unfortunately, it’s stuck on a handheld console that many never got to own. That’s where GOG comes in.
GOG is known for preserving and reviving classic games for modern systems, DRM-free and optimized for today’s hardware. Bringing The Dracula X Chronicles to GOG would make this important part of Castlevania history widely accessible once again, with no emulators or outdated hardware required.
This isn't just a remake—it's a full Castlevania time capsule, combining two of the greatest games ever made. GOG is the perfect home to honor and preserve it.
Let’s revive the chronicles of Dracula where it belongs—on a platform that respects the legacy of gaming.
