You can also access it with a password. It's the best way to play the game. Gives some enemies slightly more health and alters some enemy placements. The changes are minor compared to something like CV3 but that hard mode might of taken things too far. This one is just right.

Yes, either on a second loop or with a password. It's ridiculously hard. For example the first level has a new enemy: flying skulls that are like Medusa heads if their pattern was wildly unpredictable and they could go to the top and bottom of the screen.

Not sure if bait but I'll bite. Castlevania X is the worst Classicvania. It's pretty much a shitty port of Rondo of Blood. The only thing going for it, is the music. IMO the best Classicvania of that era is Castlevania:Bloodlines, for the Megadrive/Genesis.

>implying
Also if we're gonna talk actual worst classicvania...
DOSvania exists, Amigavania exists, C64vania exists.
For actual Castlevanias made by Konami themselves, I think the real worst one was Haunted Castle. At least it gave us some really good music, though.
BTW regarding Rondo vs DX, I think both are good games, and if you like one, you should like the other, since they only share the same gameplay and main character, but have completely different levels. DX is like playing a sort of sequel that reuses enemies (and it's not like CV doesn't reuses a lot of enemies throughout the series)

Yeah, they also got decent reviews back when they came out. It was only in retrospect that they started receiving hate, as many other early 3D games did.
CV never worked in 3D, but CV64/LoD was still the best one, with LoI close second (mainly due to the music)

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 20 22:52:13 2020 No.6903026 >>6902604 >>6902707 >>6902694 LoD is pretty good and just has shitty camera at times. Nowhere near the worst CV game.

Yes, yes it is. Dracula XX is a much better classicvania.

Yes. It also worth noting it is the first time the spear knights actually use their spears.

Also the NTSC-U version has enemy sprite changes the NTSC-J version doesn't have on hard

He's right, you know. Rondo is only rated higher because it's easier (especially if you play as the loli, but also because Richter's Bible is OP) and has muh voiced animu cutscenes. Anyone with half a brain will realise that XX has much better designed stages that actually challenge you.

Consider the following:
Dracula X had a limited late SNES release, not that many people had it back in the day.
On the other hand, Rondo has been re-released multiple times, many people who are now in their 20s played the PSP remake (which includes the original) as kids, also on Wii VC.
Dracula X gets memehate, the "bad Rondo port" argument is a LIE, it's not a port of Rondo, it's a completely new game that uses some Rondo assets (just character sprites, all level assets are new, as are their designs, also at least half the bosses are new).
I'm willing to bet more people played Rondo as kids, than Dracula X.

lol so this isn't even about castlevania anymore, you're just a console warrior.
got it.
get over it, Dracula X and Rondo are different games, and normal, non-sheeple people are able to enjoy both. The fact Nintendo prevents you from enjoying Castlevania games is kind of funny though.

Just in case, be aware the PS1 port was flawed (yes, even original version). The only way to proper play X68K is on an actual Sharp X68000, or emulating it.
>>6906332
One thing that surprised me about Dracula X on SNES is that it actually lacks slowdowns while Rondo of Blood has a lot. Of course the games are different but you can notice it in some bosses that are the same ones, like the serpent boss. On Rondo, it's basically in slowmo due to the slowdown, on SNES it doesn't have slowdowns so it's a much harder fight.
Thinking about it, Bloodlines also had a lot of slowdowns...

Yeah I played the Ps1 version and good god the music. I’m the kinda guy who can play a game just for the music, and Castlevania has awesome music. Ps1 chronicles (or at least the enhanced version) did these jazz fusion remixes of all the classic songs and it’s fucking HORRIBLE

What does this means? If you're talking about Super Castlevania IV, then it's up there with X68k as the best ones.
