CastlevaniaRL is a fan-made traditional roguelike inspired by the Castlevania series. Six different classes armed with an array of skills challenge the castle of Count Dracula and their many monsters. You can play online for free at https://slash.itch.io/serenade-of-chaos or check the source code at https://github.com/slashman/castlevaniarl (yes, it’s open source!)

This new version was prompted mostly by a crash bug detected when using Orbs of Recall during a boss fight (cowardice!). However, I also managed to pack some improvements based on feedback from the community.

Additional flexibility for UI configuration allows changing the camera scale and position now, thus allowing 1x UIs with lower resolution sprites. They can now be accessed via .bat files (a launcher might be made later, maybe). A new UI mode, 1024×768 with 1x sprites (32×32), allows a bigger viewport at the expense of pixel art detail.

A 800×600 mode, very similar to old CvRL from 2010, might be useful if you want to play in laptops in windowed mode.

(Just a reminder that the ASCII UI is still completely functional)

Additionally, support for female voices has been added back, and an improved set of female voices has been bundled.
