Let's Play Castlevania: Dracula X! - Finale
Episode 3: Awful Arenas
Endgame. Alternate Stage 5 might be some of the hardest platforming in the game, between more common bottomless pits, timed hallways, and an easy to miss Good Ending requirement! The last section after rescuing Annette is also an odd mid-stage difficulty spike, but thankfully the boss dies pretty quick to a couple of item crashes. Stage 6 continues the trend with absolutely the hardest platforming in the game, but to counter that is some oddly easy boss fights? The differing boss depending on Ending is cool, but without item crashes Death can be troublesome. The final stage isn't too long, has some odd platforming, but the Dracula fight sucks. It's tedious, has an annoying arena, but at the same time Phase 2 feels underwhelming?
