Title: Castlevania: Moonlight Rhapsody (formerly Code C (Chinese Castlevania mobile))
Post by: Foffy on December 27, 2019, 11:32:49 PM
Not content with the only Castlevania experience on phones being Grimoire of Souls, we have a blatant game from China that is very, very, very inspired by Castlevania. To the point of committing copyright infringement on sounds and music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xS77uNeBhA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xS77uNeBhA)

If you want to try it, I'm including the link here (https://castlevania-code-c.en.uptodown.com/android?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=traffic_ac). Even the link uses the Castlevania name...

It's fair to assume Konami did not approve of this, yeah? :P

China's going through a lot of political bulls**t right now to say the least. I seriously doubt that Konami is going to have any say or sway should the issue of copyright infringement arise. We're talking about a government that doesn't support human rights at the moment, let alone worrying about some foreign corporate entity that can't even touch 'em on any real level. But you're right, that game is definitely using Konami-owned assets as SotN's music is in that game. Doesn't help its cause either that the protagonist looks almost identical to Richter. But waaay too pretty-looking  :P :P :P

In a rare case of "Konami actually has every fucking right to sue and they damn well should", they really need to slam this dev down with the full force of their lawyers. Stolen assets? Stolen brand name? Jeez. Nothing fair use about this.

I don't understand why they went through the trouble to change the characters somewhat when they just straight-up ripped the music from SotN.

Maybe they're only using SOTN music as a placeholder.
Looks interesting.

Post by: Foffy on December 31, 2019, 03:16:59 PM
I'm not sure about that. If you look at the artwork of the game, literally every character is based off of a Castlevania character in a painfully clear way. One quick glance and most of the cast and you realize they have Richter, Shanoa, Maria, Alucard, Yoko, it goes on and on.

I don't know Chinese, but I wouldn't even be shocked if they reused the names, too! Makes me wonder why Konami didn't just let Tencent make a Castlevania game themselves, seeing as this uses their QQ service. :P

Not really, seeing as Tencent is known for using the IPs of other famous companies and worked with Konami for the mobile Contra game. My point was they already had a partner to work with if they wanted to make a Chinese-focused Castlevania game. I might have not made that clear originally, but there was more to my assumption of Tencent.

I dont see any problem coming at them when Konami has been well aware about some german guy selling bootlegs prints of  Dracula X on Super CdRom2 off the web FOR YEARS, even making runs of limited special edition using all sorts of artworks and other copyrighted materials besides the game itself. Its ridicolous. At least this game looks somewhat original and looks actually pretty good

I'd love to know more about this deal. Can you ask your friend how he learned of this? I presume it'd be a press release, however unlike other deals with major IPs, I don't see the major IP holder being referenced in the credits to the game, unlike titles like Monster Hunter Online and Contra Returns. My first assumption was to assume "rip off" and not "licensed out Castlevania game with caveats" simply because there's no Konami logo to be found.

He said:

So if I am understanding this right, Konami has to give her money if they want to use the characters she made? But she didn't make Alucard and Richter aside from their SotN looks, and she surely didn't make Shanoa...

This is a little too obvious even for Chinese standards. They may announce the details later. There's not enough internet presence or information to judge with certainty as of today.
Title: Re: Code C (a blatant Chinese knockoff of Castlevania for mobile)
Post by: Nagumo on January 25, 2020, 07:54:53 AM
It could also be a branding thing. It's possible the developers acquired the license from Konami but decided to market the game under a different title. I could be wrong, but I don't think Chinese people have any strong associations with either 'Castlevania' or 'Demon Castle Dracula' so it would make sense to market it under a different title.Then again, you would except the Konami logo to show up somewhere....

edit: Code C could also be a temporary title. It seems what was released is just a beta test.

Has anyone tried translating the characters' names?
Title: Re: Code C (a blatant Chinese knockoff of Castlevania for mobile)
Post by: X on January 25, 2020, 10:58:18 AM
We could ask Shiroi since she does translate Japanese and the Chinese alphabet is used in Japan.
Title: Re: Code C (a blatant Chinese knockoff of Castlevania for mobile)
Post by: LuxKiller65 on January 25, 2020, 08:05:04 PM
I have a hard time believing that this is being done without Konami's approval/supervision. Gotta get used to China getting exclusive games, or getting at least translated games early on. Just because it's in Chinese doesn't mean it's illegal.

Also, note at 3:25 in the video, all the characters speak Japanese. If this is an illegal rip-off for the Chinese market, hats off to the producer for spending time and money doing proper Japanese voice-overs just for the sake of it. I just don't believe it much lol. The whole thing looks way too good to be an unlicensed game by some basement devs in Chengdu.

The characters are:
艾维斯 - Yves?
雷诺德 - Reynolds?
沃利斯 - Wallis?
里德 - Reed?
莉娅 - Lia?
格蕾莎 - Gretha?
洛伦 - Loren?
妖精 - Fairy?

Post by: Nagumo on January 26, 2020, 01:59:30 AM
So that would be:

Ives
Reynolds
Wallis
Reed
Lia
Gretha
Loren
Fairy

What about the characters which seem directly taken from previous games? I'm pretty sure I saw Alucard, Shanoa and Yoko. Not sure if that's what they're called, though.

Edit: Seems like the Alucard figure is called "mysterious man".
Title: Re: Code C (a blatant Chinese knockoff of Castlevania for mobile)
Post by: LuxKiller65 on January 26, 2020, 06:06:57 AM
There are 9 characters displayed, the first one being Yves:
阿尔帕德 - Alucard?
里夏德 - Richter?
莉娅 - Lia?
枫 - Maple?
麦尔斯 - Myers?
萨拉 - Sara?
龙兰达 - Loretta?
弗洛丽 - Florie?

(https://gvpfua.dm.files.1drv.com/y4mo89Cw6T8HlnCiSpUSJSk28Jyflv5ZQqt5XmLUjKqiUblHOG-2wuW1X8E3xS0iLlEjmV_SuqYBCy8IcuJU9XKmhoVBP6gNu_n2hy34JKTi2yNoKcJTxnj_CT_0G_hQHZJ988bHA5BQNupRulYxY6rOQQkUGyC4J7vh0NOl5DpxfvBoWs3Ikiky_9jRA1rP-HUVR6T767s9TPPj3DoWfVLSw?width=660&height=424&cropmode=none)

And for those who didn't notice, when Richter finishes his special slam move, a firey-golden Simon Belmont is cast behind him. You can tell from the boots, the long blond hair and the headband.

(https://hppfua.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m5MWAwmykKfxYXr-3yf_evqRZQBa8MRTU4Ag3RP8_QQWLo5AVpplv1wU5lsNXseOXzJXXFKLYrVFRsl8LCixoMBRkFUwaQlUslrB1uF-tedGlH0Vzg4OXoEnKdCm8hnbHljP0-nZX-xixmGN1yZ1K4zqfjEM60L75Oef-WCNVv-4OjjiKd71x583rbJDLoKT5rflQHlyJ1w82_K2iVXjpfw?width=392&height=291&cropmode=none)

Myers summons a Flying Bone, and Loretta is an obvious reference to succubus.
Pretty sure there are other references in the special moves, I'm just not expert enough, especially with the more recent titles.

All characters here

It would be lame if the game were to be released with SotN's soundtrack. Hopefully it's just placeholder while someone's composing the ost. ;)

Apparently, you can use this kanji to write Yoko in Chinese.

The story is very blatantly Castlevania as well. The first line of the intro mentions the 100-year legend. No direct mention of Dracula though, the antagonist is just referred to as the Demon King. 

Edit: Richter also says his "Die monster! You don't belong in this world!" line, or at least the Japanese equivalent of it.

I know the game installs with the games folders quite literally named "castlevaniatest" but I imagine that was because this was a small test, probably a beta/server test. If they wanted to avoid issues with Konami and do not have the rights to the IP, having the game install itself with such a name is not a good look.

Additionally, in the clip that shows all of the playable characters, the character who looks like Richter sounds like Richter, and uses the same SotN lines. Wow.

So, what exactly confirms that this is a copy and not a product by Konami at least in some degree? I could understand, it wouldn't be the first ripoff Castlevania game for mobile but why do they apparently have the same engine? Ignoring the suspicious name/characters, it looks like a mod/sequel/spinoff to GoS.

Does someone have something, anything to show Konami themselves acknowledging this game?

2+2 doesn't equal 5.

I wouldn't assume this game has anything to do with Castlevania until you hear it from the horses mouth.

My thoughts: this was probably a game being developed and pitched to Konami. Konami may have passed and now the developer is re-branding it.

There is nothing consistent with konami about how this game has been announced. And it would be foolish for them to let this come into the public and muddy the waters right as they are about to release grimoir of souls.

As much as they have to say they DON'T. Judging the book by the cover, it must, it's literally GoS's engine, or you think some random company decided to do a game with the same feel, art style, gameplay and engine from scratch and "steal" Konami's property, smart move, Grimoire of Souls is being such a hit (/sarcasm).

I'm unsure of it being the same engine. And yeah, given Konami's lack of mention about it, it cannot be said it's official. However, given their FABULOUS track record regarding the mobile CVs, it's hard to say it IS NOT either.

I kinda hope it is tho. Their Yoko looks fab

As I said above, I think they probably developed this as a pitch to Konami, but that Konami may have passed on it. Which explains all of the above.

I would be happy to be wrong because it looks pretty cool.

However I don't think it's wise to get our hopes up without a single murmur of this from Konami.

Code C certainly sounds like a lame smokescreen title for a Castlevania game.  At the same time it is weird that there is absolutely no word from Konami.  But then again, I remember when Lords of Shadow was just some new IP that seemed to borrow heavily from Castlevania ideas.

In theory, i could since it uses Unity just like this game.

Need to start thinking about some fanfiction for this.

She finally got her wish from Judgment.

"The Breast She Ever Had" better be a subtitle somewhere.

Tweet link to the trailer. (https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1288110064872521730) Seems to confirm the cast from the test period are all still there, so we have weird shenanigans where Richter Belmont and Yoko Belnades exist in the same space at the same time.

The original character and presumably, the protagonist, is a vampire hunter by the name of...Elvis? Guess it's supposed to be Ives, but man. This month has been brutal to be a Castlevania fan.

Looks like more mobile crap, though.
Perhaps GoS was just a test run and they are cancelling it for this one?
All those lost assets may get their use back, eventually, perhaps.

I don't understand what is happening.

Konami cancelled/ended services for Grimoire of Souls, only to announce another game that looks just like it? What am I missing? Is this game specifically for Chinese markets only? If so, why make a whole different game instead of translating GoS?

Totally different games.

No, i don't think they cancelled GoS to reuse assets for this. GoS aesthetics were very classic castlevania but 3D, this games graphics look more like... cell shaded anime? idk how to say it. If the games play similarly enough, i could see them cancelling GoS like they cancelled Alucard3Dvania for LoS.

Anyways... can anyone translate the character info in the trailer?

Is it possible that the reason Konami keeps making these cellphone half-a-games is because they are “testing the waters” so to speak? To see if there is still interest in the IP?

Obviously we know the answer, but Konami is so out of touch with the gaming public that this is the only way they know how to gauge interest. Who knows

The success of Contra: Return in China likely gave Konami enough reason to make Rogue Corps. The mobile game has stayed as a top-5 grossing game in China for over three years now, making it far and away the most successful Contra game in history.

I imagine they want to make Castlevania to do something similar. Any "testing the waters" is to try to and sell a console game to market a mobile game. That's where they are now.

I mean, if they had a clue, they'd realize Castlevania is a terrible IP to make a gacha game out of, and that's why it died in less than a year. :p

They're chasing trends here. In Japan, gacha games rule, so they tried Castlevania out for that, and it died quickly. In China, the model is slightly different, and in that space the sort of game this is can have longer legs. How well Contra did there is why they're cracking a go at it again with Castlevania.

Chasing trends has been the motto of Castlevania ever since IGA was demoted. In that sense, this really is no different from when the rebooted the series: they're just trying to chase other popular goldmines, retrofitting the IP into those directions, and hoping they can strike it at least once.

Some beta footage. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmXBPJBfe98) Already has an edge over Grimoire of Souls by being a 60fps game and tries to follow more of the IGAvania formula, but the designs of the enemies look a bit too cartoony for me.

skeletons and other death-related concepts bring bad luck/energy so they are usually removed by devs/publishers who know something about target regions. there's no law prohibiting skeletons, it's just bad taste so it's generally removed if seen in time.

I once had a game idea that i titled “Castlevania: Birth of the Dragon” where you play as a young Vlad, set 100 years after the events of Lament of Innocence. The gameplay will be similar to Aria of Sorrow where you defeat enemies & collect their souls. The main villain would be Galamoth (the then-ruler of the underworld), Vlad usurps his crown & truly becomes Dracula. He gets sealed in a time rift since Vlad bans him from Hell, thus explaining why Gala has a grudge against him

Necro-bumping this thread, as there's a new rumor floating around that the game has been put on indefinite hiatus, allegedly due to ShengQu Games disbanding the entire game development team.

Take it with a big grain of salt as this hasn't been verified yet.

This supposedly happened back in March, and would explain why there's been no further details about the game or its release since fall of 2020. Just silently letting the game fall into development hell.
