Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, released in Japan as Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo, is a side-scrolling action game that Konami made for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM² in 1993. Richter Belmont sets out to rescue four captives from Dracula's castle, and stages branch into hidden routes, with a second playable character, Maria Renard, to free along the way. The CD format brought animated cutscenes, voice acting and a Red Book audio soundtrack.

It stayed in Japan for many years and became one of the most sought-after PC Engine games. Its story leads straight into Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and it was later released on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console and remade for the PSP as Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles.
