A complete playthrough of Konami's 1995 Super Nintendo based re-envisioning of the classic PC Engine Duo Castlevania game (Rondo no Chi), Castlevania: Dracula X.
I get the best ending in this playthrough, rescuing both girls on the way to Dracula.

The problem with this game is that a big part of its difficulty relies too much on pitfalls. Not only you have to do a lot of hard jumps, but at the same time you have to deal with enemies trying to push you to fall. Also, Richter doesn't bring anything new to the table, he is too slow and very limited which is a huge step back compared to the excellent controls in Super Castlevania IV. Other than that, I still like the game a lot. It has some amazing and colorful visuals and the soundtrack is top notch.

There are many gaming franchises that debuted in the 8-bit era that deserve to make a comeback in this current generation of consoles (PS4, Xbox One). Castlevania is one of the main ones on that list IMO. The fact that a brand-new game in the series hasn't been made since the PS2(!) is mind-boggling to me. Anybody agree with me?

I think the game engineers and developers had something good going on for this game. .....but some big fish boss at Konami tho, probably walked in on them and said: “You all need to finish this game, and get it out into the market before Christmas!!! ....Aaaahh!!!! I don’t wanna hear it!!!! Just finish it and get it out ASAP!!” You can see where this was going before you fight Cerebrus. The music and background color changed into a darker tone. I think the developers had a plan to make pre-boss rooms where you got subs, hearts, and wall meat; just like Dracula X Rondo of Blood. The character design, character animation, and the game controls still needed work. Look at the way Belmont walked here. 🤣

They are basically two different games, the only things they seem to share in common are the sprites, otherwise they don't share much in common (it's why some refer to this game as Dracula XX as it is a retelling of the same story, with less maidens to rescue, and an unplayable Maria. Not having little Maria to wrecking ball her way through the game does take away some of the enjoyment of this game here.). There was no way Konami was fitting a CD game onto a cart, so they had to heavily improvise.

I know people like to claim Rondo of Blood is one of the best 2D CV games ever, and this is more or less a port of that game, but the levels are all rearranged, and there are several key differences that make this its own game. Maybe Rondo is a better game (it probably is), but this is still a fine and fun CV game. Like it for what it is instead of disliking it for what it's not.

I never got it either. Its graphically much more in line with mainline castlevania then IV. I think it blows IV out of the water graphically. And IV was pretty impressive for an early SFC game. Music is pretty good too. That its a sort of port always will always mean that it will be compared to the original and Rondo was certainly a masterpiece of classic castlevania.

Agreed. It was an okay game in its own, but it's gameplay never measured up to the Castlevania name the way 4, Bloodlines, and Rondo did.

For as mid as this game is the graphics are just stunning. Imagine seeing this game when the SNES launched. It looks more 32bit then 16.

After watching this play through I can attest that this in fact is a real great game, most unlike what many so called KZfaq personalities like to say nasty stuff about it. There is no time limit, you can get your sub weapon back if you get one you don’t want, most of the time(enemies on screen), an extra sub weapon attack that this player used highly successfully, the graphics are beautiful with detailed backgrounds, the chain makes a chain sound affect, other sounds are of hi quality, his stride is badass, he can do a back flip, he can jump off stairs, cool soundtracks, there are many great qualities to this one. Is it hard/difficult as hell, it sure looks that way. Maby that’s the reason for all the hate I’ve seen. I for one plan to revisit it soon in hope the get through as well as this guy or gal is playing. He or She’s a boss! Since I own every title and example of Castlevania, including all the imports, this looks of great quality right up there with Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines and Super Castlevania lV. I love the no time limit versions best. However the original NES I revisit monthly. It’s just too great not to.

This is a good game. It’s just a letdown compared to Rondo and SCIV. I think the graphics and sound are phenomenal but the level design is lacking when compared to the other 16 bit Castlevania titles. Frankly I think this was rushed out to hit the Christmas 1995 deadline because Konami knew that SNES would be a second fiddle console by Christmas 1996.

@@ezehogan I believe you are correct you have a very valid point. I noticed Resident Evil 6 was rushed as well. I played through it once and done. Unlike Res Evil 4, that game set the bar I feel. I still can’t get the unlimited hand cannon. Those double chainsaw guys are beyond brutal! Lately, last 6 months or so Super Castlevania 4 has been my go to and I just really like it a lot. I’ve discovered some speed run techniques that work well for my still leisure way of enjoying it. Especially the whip dongle usability

@@ezehogan I think another reason this is inferior is because Konami had to make this considering the SNES hardware's limitations and cartridge space limits compared to Rondo being released as a CD game for the PC Engine's Super CD-ROM2 add-on (CDs allowing more content than cartridges).

Fun game. Not my favorite Castlevania, but a good one. Not the biggest fan of some of the remixed tracks though ... definitely lacking in soundtrack compared to other games in the series imo.

Prologue *Mark Elliot:* Transylvania. The Middle Ages.... An evil Darkness had befallen the land, giving rise to sinister vampire legends. *Mark Elliot:* Until now, the people of Transylvania had grown accustomed to their peaceful existence, secure in the knowledge that their famed hero, Simon Belmont, had sealed the fate of Count Dracula several hundred years prior. *Mark Elliot:* Wicked townsfolk, possessed by the Darkness conspired to revive the King of Blood.... Dracula, now undead once more, plotted to exact revenge upon the descendant of the family that destroyed him... Richter Belmont. *Mark Elliot:* The Prince of Evil viciously attacked the town with his unholy legion. He snatched away Richter's girlfriend, Annet and her sister, Maria. Imprisoning them in his vile castle, he lies in wait for Richter to attempt a rescue. *Mark Elliot:* Richter, burdened by his destiny, left for Dracula's castle with his legendary ancestral whip, the determination to save his loved ones and the resolve to send Dracula to eternal damnation once and for all!

Respect to those who enjoy this, but re-imagining often involves no imagination at all. To me, it seems this only appeals to hardcore gamers. Playing chess with unusual pieces on a new board doesn't make it a "new game".

I think this game was rushed out the door as a quick cash grab while the SNES was still relevant. By the time this was released in North America the Saturn was out for several months and the PlayStation was hitting store shelves. Nintendo 64 would be released the following year. The 16 bit era was on the decline so Konami put limited resources into this game in an effort to maximize their profit. That also explains the small print run this game had.
