Castlevania: SotN - World's First God Mode Gameplay in 2023 [4K, 60 fps]
126 years later, I have a World's First video of 'God Mode' being used in the game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I have cheats enabled and I've never had more fun playing it. It released in 1997 for Playstation 1. Check out 4K gorgeous nostalgia in all of it's 16-bit/32-bit glory.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is an action role-playing game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It was directed and produced by Toru Hagihara, with Koji Igarashi acting as assistant director. It is a direct sequel to Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, taking place four years later. It features Dracula's dhampir son Alucard (returning from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse) as the protagonist, rising from his slumber to explore Dracula's castle which resurfaced after Richter Belmont vanished. Its design marks a break from previous entries in the series, re-introducing the exploration, nonlinear level design, and role-playing elements first experimented with in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
Symphony of the Night is considered one of the greatest and most influential video games ever made, praising its gameplay, soundtrack, and visuals, and gained a cult following. It is also considered a pioneer of the Metroidvania genre alongside Super Metroid, inspiring numerous exploration-based action-adventure games, and would have a lasting impact on the Castlevania series, with subsequent mainline entries adopting its gameplay model. However, sales upon released were extremely low, until it eventually graduated from word-to-mouth, becoming a sleeper hit, where it sold over 900,000 units in the United States and Japan. The game would later be re-released on several platforms, with later revisions containing improvements.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night begins during the ending of the previous game in the series, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, where Richter Belmont confronts and defeats Count Dracula. Four years later, in 1796, Richter goes missing and Dracula's castle reappears. Alucard arrives at the castle to destroy it, meeting Maria Renard, who once fought alongside Richter and is searching for him. Alucard meets Richter, who claims to be the new lord of the castle. Convinced that Richter is under somebody else's control, Maria urges Alucard not to hurt him and gives him the Holy Glasses, which allows him to see past illusions. In the castle's keep, Alucard confronts Richter and learns that he plans to resurrect Dracula, so the two can fight for an eternity. During a fight, Alucard breaks the spell controlling Richter, and Dracula's servant Shaft appears and tells them that Dracula will still be resurrected soon.
