The final boss theme (second part of fight after Dracula) has noticeably crackling sound. The issue seems to point to the Triangle sound channel of the game not handling "Pitch 0" correctly.

Some audio beeping / crackling issues have been reported on multiple SKUs for Castlevania Anniversary Collection, most notably a beeping sound in Castlevania Stage 2 & Stage 11 (which play the same tune).
The "beep and close" never happens when the game is just paused or active, only when in the option screen. The game beeps and then the program closes. During gameplay in fullscreen, open the options.

It feels uncharacteristic of the series.īut this part of the franchise goes down swinging. It is the last of the Metroidvania titles to be made as a part of the series, and it doesn't really feature the Belmonts at all. To date, it remains something of a swansong for the franchise. Order of Ecclesia is the final Castlevania game to incorporate RPG elements. However, before the glyphs can be applied to the hero Shanoa, she is betrayed, forcing her on a quest full of twists and turns. Following the events of Symphony of the Nights, a group created to combat Dracula upon his eventual return, the Order of Ecclesia, creates a trinity of glyphs to defeat Dracula.
