Castlevania: Dracula X is a tough but rewarding experience for retro gaming enthusiasts. It departs from some of the conventions of classic 'vania games, introducing stricter movement and trickier level design. The graphics and music are fantastic, pushing the SNES to its limits, and defeating Dracula's minions remains as satisfying as ever. However, the altered gameplay might be frustrating for some, and the limited continues make it relentlessly difficult.

my definitive 2d castlevania experience

Rondo of Blood but worse is actually still pretty good

People usually speak of this game as if it were the worst thing since the holocaust, and while I see how they would think that, I had some fun playing through it.

OBVIOUSLY its not better than rondo, the movement is really slow (i'm pretty sure the back-flip lasts about 2 seconds), the difficulty can get out of hand at place (that fucking final boss), and it also has a fetish for putting enemies right next to bottomless pits, but for what it is, its decently enjoyable.

not great, obnoxious unfair difficulty and insanely short and visually boring compared to IV.
