A "remake" of Rondo of Blood for the SNES? Sure! Except, the game is pretty much completely different! And if Castlevania Bloodlines was the easiest in the series so far, Dracula X might just be the hardest one! The game's challenge is pretty standard for a Castlevania game for the most part, but when you reach Dracula... Holy skeletons on motorcycles! That Dracula fight is just not fun. Worse, Dracula X brings you back to the beginning of the final level every time you game over, so you can't just grind that boss battle easily. I used save states for that final boss, because my patience had reached its limit. There are only two girls to save in this one, Maria and Annette, as opposed to five in Rondo of Blood. Besides that, the game's music features a lot of remixes from older titles and is generally a banger, with a few original ones thrown in there. What blew my mind, however, is that during the credits, Malus's violin tune from Castlevania 64 which I thought was unique to that game also plays here!!! I can't believe it! I also did both the good and bad endings, which I spliced together at the end, and I also show both the Death and Carmilla boss fights.

The Japanese title, Akumajou Dracula XX, translates to, "Demon Castle Dracula XX", pronounced Akumajou Dracula Double X. The NA title lost an X. And the European title is Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss. Go figure. They love kisses in Europe.
