While Castlevania Portrait of Ruin is a direct sequel of Castlevania Bloodlines of the mega-drive, it bears little resemblance to the predecessor, and this hack aims to fix that, adding new Songs, Weapons, mechanics, graphics and more.

Patch 1 - Portrait of Bloodlines RP:

  • Original idea and contents by Redpack (RP). This is how CVPOBL was intended.
  • Contains changes to music, equipment, subweapons, and enemy palettes.
  • The goal is to make CVPOR more like Bloodlines. it is not really mentioned as a sequel to Bloodlines, but all of the story says it should be.

Patch 2 - Portrait of Bloodlines SW:

  • All additions for this patch were recommended to RP by StarWyvern (SW).
  • More enemy palette changes.
  • New palettes for Jonathan and Char to match those od John Morris and Eric LeCarde.
  • Some changes to equipment values, a new model for a certain weapon, and a new weapon usable by Jonathan and Charlotte.

Patch 3 - Portrait of Bloodlines SW + Clare:

  • Contains everything that the second patch contains, say for a few major changes.
  • Huge Equipment Boost. Richter is replaced by Sonia.
  • Maria is replaced by Carrie Fernadez (Credits to Serio, Drameloch, Iamme, for sprites and DF).
  • Some of the enemy palettes are reverted.
