Attack the Backlog #1: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Updated on Friday, September 28, 2018 at 9:00AM by Marc Kusnierz

In episode one of Attack the Backlog, Marc visits a vast and varied castle for the (kind of) first time in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, a little game where you play as Alucard, son of Dracula, who awakens from what was supposed to be an eternal slumber because the forces of evil are at it once again in Dracula's castle and who better than the son of Dracula to save the day. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night originally came out on PlayStation 1 in 2007 and has since been ported to numerous platforms, including Xbox 360 (it is backward compatible on Xbox One), PlayStation 3, PSP, and, in just under a month's time, PlayStation 4. Anyway, something-something about damn time and an excuse to rhyme, cheers and enjoy the show.
