It's definitely a game for experienced CV players.

Those who liked CV1 and 3 should love Dracula X due to its controls and level design, and bosses.
It even has some alternate paths to make the game more fun to replay.

Maybe it's because it was my first Castlevania, but even though after having played Rondo of Blood I can see Rondo is the overall better game, I say Dracula X should be valorated more for what it is: a completely new Classicvania made after the same setting as Rondo. But not even the gameplay is the same, You can do the backflip and everything Ritcher can do on Rondo, except here he feels stiffer, heavier. Definitely reminds me of Simon on the NES games, whereas in Rondo he feels lighter, swifter. Which isn't bad either, in fact, it was probably a step forward in the franchise, but Ritcher in Dracula X is like playing Simon modo.
Also, no Maria. You can rescue her, but no play as her. No babby mode.
