Nathan Graves (Circle of the Moon) is pretty good with a whip too, in my opinion. He's the only character who could rapidly spin his whip (besides Juste in Harmony of Dissonance, who needed an item to do it) to create an automatic makeshift barrier to protect himself. Other characters could only wiggle their whips manually, making a slower and less effective barrier.
His game is harder. There's no shop and you need to kill enemies in order to find out what they drop. It makes the game harder that you can't even have a list about enemies and thorough information about them.
To me, they were always 2 completely different games. The only difference is that this is a 're-imagination' of Rondo. And some sections within the levels were borrowed from Rondo as well. Ultimately, this is it's own beast.
Stephen P Both are great. But Rondo feels much more complete. Dracula X did some things better tho. Bloodlines sounds much better in this version, you just can't beat that badass guitar.
This game isnt supposed to be rondo of blood, its non canonical and just a NES castlevania game with better graphics and 1 or 2 quality of life changes.
Castlevania Dracula X has been described as an inferior version of Rondo of Blood, but I wholeheartedly disagree. An accurate way to describe it would be "re-imagining". This game's graphics are beautiful, and its use of Rondo of Blood's music themes feel very appropriate. The exclusion of Maria Renard as a playable character makes this version a better representative of the classic Castlevania gameplay. The one thing I'd change in it is the final duel; I would like for it to match its portrayal in Symphony of the Night, so it could connect to that game, as it deservedly should.
I remember playing this game on the super nes emulator back when I was a child and loving the gameplay.The thing I liked about this game is the the main character named richter has the power to use sub weapons to unleash unique magic depending which weapon of choice is used there even the fire whip power that can be unleashed if no sub weapon isn't available yet.When my brother got a key found at the end of stage 3 he discovered maria in the mine cave stage and give you a key to the hidden water ruins stage.I liked the hidden water ruins stage alot both the soundtrack called the picture of the ghost ship and the stage level and my brother liked the den theme but for me I liked the entire soundtrack both super nes and pc engine version this is a great game and also as a teenager I was surprised that this game is a remake version of japanese exclusive castlevania rondo of blood pc engine when I was watching videos from my middle school days.During my childhood days I use to use cheats to beat the game faster but away this game was my childhood thank you konami and thank you for uploading this video yeah to yes.
This game reminds me more of Castlevania 1 than part 4 does. Part 4 has an entirely differnet look/feel than the NES trilogy. Part 4 the main character and enemies look really tall and not detailed, kind of weird looking. The character design, the stages, enemies, remixed music.. all of this seems like they tried to re-imagine part 1 with this game. Symphony of the night is similar too.
***** to rephrase I believe they have tried to make this game as close to Castlevania 1 on the NES as possible. Castlvania 4 on the SNES doesn't feel like a classic Castlevania to me.
***** Yeah, I think Simon's Quest was perceived as too hard compared to Castlevania 1 back in the day. Kids wanted a hack and slash, but got a Hack and slash hybrid with kind of an RPG, where there was stuff you had to do that was hard to figure out or unnessecarily time consuming. I'm not sure why Konami didn't just continue on with direct success of the first game. I guess they were trying something new.
I agree with the character/enemy sprites, they look a bit too stretched. The game itself looks and feels much more like the classic trilogy then Dracula X in my opinion. The way how the levels are constructed in SC4 with lots of blocks and a classic HUD system. Dracula X has smoother graphics but the overall animé-ish style and faster phase doesn't feel the same. SC4 had some slower phased levels like the cavern but also fast phased levels like the rotating chamber. Also SC4 seems a bit longer then Dracula X. Both are great games though. Castlevania Rebirth on WiiWare was great too :) Classic Castlevania!
On the Castlevania Advance collection, the music test feature has the original tracks from this game titled as their artifact titles from Rondo of Blood. For example the track that plays in the stage where you rescue Maria is titled "Cemetery" because in Rondo of Blood that track played in the cemetery level.
Nothing wrong with this one, good music and graphics,it’s a blast to play because it runs fast like mega drive castlevania. It stands alongside 1,3 and bloodlines as the real castlevania experience
Seems strange everyone considers Rondo the better game. This doesn’t have the cd sound or cutscenes of Rondo, but the in game graphics and level design pisses on Rondo from a great height. Rondo still has that 8-bit look compared to this.
SCIV is probably one of the weaker titles in the franchise the whip is way too strong both the combination of the low recovery time and being able to whip in 8 directions makes the game way too easy. Over reliance on the whip ruins the sub weapon mechanic they dont feel as powerful anymore, in entries that came before and after SCIV the right sub weapon really made a difference and even then they all felt useful. Level design as well doesnt take in to consideration how strong your whip. There will be many points in the game where I can only assume the developers put an enemy there so you wouldn't feel lonely. They're put in spots where they cant even hurt you but you can since you can whip in 8 different directions. For some reason even the enemy design is easier from previous titles. Remember the skeletons and hunchbacks from castlevania 1?, well now they're 10 times easier even if you only had 1 direction you could swing the whip SCIV would still be miles easier than both previous and later entries.
Thanks for this comment, I would never have thought this was worth money. I have it in the box with a instruction booklet. Bought it at block buster for 18$ a long time ago lol.
The game starts off really strong with an awesome first stage but goes a bit downhill afterwards. Awesome soundtrack. Still a good game just not as good as Super Castlevania 4
I still love this game though. I played this before I'd even ever heard of Rondo, so I didn't have this huge disappointment most people claim to have had. And I liked this game way better than I liked CV4. I think it looks nicer, it controls more like the NES games, and the music is lightyears better.
Any1 played this on PSN DL?I'm 1 of those people who thinks that old games should only be played on their designated system,but SNES is 1 that I don't have yet.
He did not rescue Annette. [Spoiler ahead] I realized the boss in the Clock Tower is Annette! If you rescue her, there you find another boss. Also, there is another secret stage if you fall in Stage 3.
I know most people prefer Super Castlevania IV, but this will always be my favourite SNES Castlevania game. I wasn't bothered that you couldn't do as much with the whip. The rest of the game controls just as fine in my opinion, and Dracula X has waaaaay better graphics and music. The boss fights feel way more engaging too in that they actually take more than five seconds to kill.

@ZenoPopo 3 years late I know. But you CAN save Annet in Dracula X. In level 5, after you pass the rising water, hit the spot of the waterfall, that'll lower the water. Then go down and to the left, Annet is in the next room.
Why does the sound need to be cut off like in Axelay as well ? Is there some copyright on the music (pedantic industry nowadays, if they even rely on that on just these old consele games with 'chip' music, can't believe that usless 'crap'/behaviour) ?
The CD format could hold a lot of substance than cartridges. A lot of content therefore had to be cut for the snes release. Hence why cutscenes were removed, hidden paths, less characters to save etc. It still has an improved colour palette and better music in my opinion. Its a good game in its own right, but comparing it to rondo of blood tarnishes its image. Not to mention, NEC restricted Konami from releasing the game on other system. Finally the north american release came in 2007 on the PSP.
This game being so short has to be a joke, or at least did the person playing the game skip any levels? How can a Castlevania game be under 30 minutes, especially when Super Castlevania IV takes me at least 90 minutes to finish.
It's clear that this NOT the best castlevania game,not only because of the old stifty controls and bothered version, but also you have NO recovery time and those annoying medusa heads flying all over the place,also there is some lag,making this game VERY frustrating!!!
Castlevania IV is better than Dracula X. But, Dracula X is worth twice as much or more as Castlevania IV. Castlevania IV is worth $40-$60 now a days. And Dracula X is worth $90-$150 now a days. FYI. Still, I would recommend Castlevania IV over Dracula X.
Definitely prefer X over IV. Having just re-watched both, art and animation in X is much better, and feels more in keeping w/ the style for the series. Don't like the sprite proportions and lack of lighting/contrast in most of the BG art of IV.
Christopher Babic Play the actual Rondo, it's much better, much less clunky lot better looking than this Game's washed up color palette twice as much stages, branching paths And 2 different characters.
just got this on virtual console (3DS).. it seems you can't whip up and down like you can in SCIV? Or am I doing something wrong? Still like it.. but LOOOOOOOVE SCIV (I played that a lot as a teen).
Yeah I still enjoyed it thoroughly and also bought the PSP version which has rondo of blood as an unlockable.. so pretty excited about that :) You learn something new every day.. SCV4 was the first i ever played back when.@@gaupau
This game gets a bad rap, it never was claimed to be a port of Rando, but a reimagining of the game instead. Of course you can't cram a CD game into a cart, so Konami didn't even try to do that. Yeah, no 8 directional whip swing, but that's what made Super Castlevania 4 a legit cakewalk (it was far too damned easy), while this one returns the challenge the series was know for at one time. The music was retained from Rondo, and even in chiptune form, sounds great. Bought this game, and Gokujou Parodius SFC boxed from a friend years back, $100 for both.
Then you should play the Dracula X Chronicle (Remake of the TRUE RONDO OF BLOOD and also contained the original Rondo of Blood and Symphony of Night (Had some Extras from the JP ver. and Maria being playable though she played like her Rondo of Blood rather than her Sega Saturn ver.) In the 3D remake, if you rescued all of the maiden, Dracula will have his 3rd form and OH S*** that was MUCH harder than the Dracula in this game.
I prefer Bloodlines and Akumajo Dracula x86000. Bitching style and fastest pace in the former, and the most devious and addictive level design and challenge in the latter.
Ruby Williams Anti UTTP Yes, but Super Castlevania 4 is easiest and Castlevania Bloodlines is very hard in my opinion. (Sorry, my english is bad, i'm brazilian).
Well, that "princess" was supposed to fight like her turbografix counterpart. It's ashamed that this game was a canceled game but put on Rondo of Blood story into it at the last minute.
shadowshinobi06 Nope, this is just a personal preference. I like the beeping sound effects from the PC-Engine. I like the songs from the PC-Engine as well, I tried to like Dracula X, I really did but it didn't go well for me.
I don't like the SNES version, I actually played it before I tried out the PC-Engine version. I just happen to like the PC-Engine more, despite its choppy framerate.
People say this port is butchering to the pc engine version but there both good in their own ways because one has better quality and music while the other is inferior I find both to be good with the SNES version being good while the pc engine version is hmmm godly
They were all at least average, bad Castlevania is still better than a lot of things. There were parts of the N64 ones that were at least creative, too bad about the controls though.
Now you can say that that Castlevania game on Wii was alright? (Like it beats Castlevania Judgements and that was 2008 so that was 2009,Castlevania Rebirth and now 2010!?...Lords of Shadows never play 2,lol)

Stage 2 has a really strange castle design. Reminds me more of a Spanish colonial house more than Dracula's Castle.
The fun i would have at the time coming home from school and play the mess out of it!😍
Those were the days!🤗
Que saudade Castlevania forever.
I want Dracula X remake with Symphony of the night Richter!
27:57: Ha ha.. its the bad ending #1. Or as I like to call it "Screw rescuing my fiance, I will only rescue her little sister" ending.
This and Rondo are almost 2 different games.

Did anyone notice how when the intro started how it was making the X in the title it made a slicing sound that was from Kirby
So that's where the familiar sound comes from. You're right.

Favorite music of all Castlevanias for me is from this one.
Rondo of Blood's is better. It's the same songs, but they are higher quality CD audio versions.
Are they also the same game with different tittles for different regions or do they just share music?
surprised the person behind the MSU-1 audio upgrade hacks hasn't done this one yet with the better music
Yeah... this is why I bought Rondo of Blood instead. Love the ost still nonetheless and good run.

Muito bom esse jogo.
Anyone know why Konami didn't just port Rondo of Blood to the SNES? This seems like a lot of effort for an inferior game.
The CD format could hold a lot of substance than cartridges. A lot of content therefore had to be cut for the snes release. Hence why cutscenes were removed, hidden paths, less characters to save etc. It still has an improved colour palette and better music in my opinion.

sadly, the audio stop syncronizing at the last quarter. Great run, thou.
Beat the game once before, now I'm adding it to my collection!
Tried to run it on an emulator. There was some pirating protection that covered the screen with fire.
Buy it instead
This game being so short has to be a joke, or at least did the person playing the game skip any levels? How can a Castlevania game be under 30 minutes, especially when Super Castlevania IV takes me at least 90 minutes to finish.
They made up for it by making the game harder.
+surething baby Seen runs of the original Castlevania on NES at around 25 minutes.
Even Castlevania 3 is longer
Dracula X has 7 stages + 2 alternative stages. The less stages are made up for in sheer difficulty. A true homage to the nes era.
It's worth a lot. I did the same thing, bought it from a video store a while back. I sold mine though.
What program use to record?
It's clear that this NOT the best castlevania game,not only because of the old stifty controls and bothered version, but also you have NO recovery time and those annoying medusa heads flying all over the place,also there is some lag,making this game VERY frustrating!!!
Castlevania IV is better than Dracula X. But, Dracula X is worth twice as much or more as Castlevania IV. Castlevania IV is worth $40-$60 now a days. And Dracula X is worth $90-$150 now a days. FYI. Still, I would recommend Castlevania IV over Dracula X.
The Super Famicom version of this game is about $70, so there's a chance of attaining it.
Fucking hell, to think I sold my cart like five something years prior to this comment for only $50, and it's reaching $200+ on eBay now.

Definitely prefer X over IV. Having just re-watched both, art and animation in X is much better, and feels more in keeping w/ the style for the series. Don't like the sprite proportions and lack of lighting/contrast in most of the BG art of IV.
Christopher Babic Play the actual Rondo, it's much better, much less clunky lot better looking than this Game's washed up color palette twice as much stages, branching paths And 2 different characters.

Most if not all castlevania games only have you whip forwards. SCIV is unique in the eight directional whipping.
Yeah I still enjoyed it thoroughly and also bought the PSP version which has rondo of blood as an unlockable.. so pretty excited about that :) You learn something new every day.. SCV4 was the first i ever played back when.@@gaupau

I love every Castelevania game! I must have them all, I don't have this one and it's getting expensive
I want it as well, but too bad both the snes and pc engine game cost hundreds of dollars...
Can't that be said to have taken place as far back as CV3? Where your fellow protagonists include a pirate and a vampire?
I`m just glad I beat this game, wouldn`t want to do it again (considering how difficult Dracula is) but hey, I had a great time.
Better than Super Castlevania...

4:06 Why don't your hearts deplete when you use projectile weapons?
It does.
If only I had the money at the time!😭
Well you can play it with emoulator
Well, that "princess" was supposed to fight like her turbografix counterpart. It's ashamed that this game was a canceled game but put on Rondo of Blood story into it at the last minute.
I never could beat stage 3
Coming to Switch
Not just you.
After seeing this, I have more appreciation for Rondo of Blood on the PC-Engine. The music and sound effects don't sit well. 😕
shadowshinobi06 Nope, this is just a personal preference. I like the beeping sound effects from the PC-Engine. I like the songs from the PC-Engine as well, I tried to like Dracula X, I really did but it didn't go well for me.
Ruby Williams Anti UTTP Just like I said, I prefer the PC Engine version. That's is an opinion and everyone has their own preferences.
Ruby Williams Anti UTTP I already did on my previous reply, did you not pay attention?
I don't like the SNES version, I actually played it before I tried out the PC-Engine version. I just happen to like the PC-Engine more, despite its choppy framerate.
Trevgauntlet But that bass for the stage 1 music, though, you can't go wrong. Lol
People say this port is butchering to the pc engine version but there both good in their own ways because one has better quality and music while the other is inferior I find both to be good with the SNES version being good while the pc engine version is hmmm godly
They were all at least average, bad Castlevania is still better than a lot of things. There were parts of the N64 ones that were at least creative, too bad about the controls though.
Dracula x is more good music.
But rondo of blood is anime version than i expected.
the first installment on the SFC is better than this by a slight margin in terms of control and level design
Now you can say that that Castlevania game on Wii was alright?
(Like it beats Castlevania Judgements and that was 2008 so that was 2009,Castlevania Rebirth and now 2010!?...Lords of Shadows never play 2,lol)
