Richter is one of the strongest Belmonts to ever battle with Dracula, he cannot brandish his whip like he could in Symphony of the Night (PSX/SS) and like Simon could in Super Castlevania IV (SNES). Most veteran Castlevania players will find themselves more comfortable playing as a Belmont, rather than a 12 year old girl that kills demons with fluffy animals. Richter is drawn to Castlevania via two forces his own cursed bloodline which beckons him to destroy Count Dracula, and his love for a girl called Annette Renard, who was taken from her village to Castlevania by evil forces. He wields the whip that was first used against Dracula three-hundred and sixteen years ago by his ancestor Ralph C.

Anyway, after roughly 5 years I ending up getting it and ended up writing this FAQ/Walkthrough for it. Thankfully, I found this out during the build up for the release of Symphony of the Night in late '97, so it was pushed into the deep recesses of my brain by the anticipation of Symphony of the Night.

So when I found out that there was a Castlevania dubbed a "masterpiece" that was never released to western audiences, I was quite annoyed to say the least.
