I must admit I liked this one more then Rondo of Blood, but Super Castlevania 4 is the best. Symphony of the night is good if you like that kinda thing. AVOID castlevania 64, ps2 version and simons quest. i didnt really like draculas curse i prefer the original nes version or castlevania 1. but thats just me
A good game with great graphics and music and I know it's more or less a port of Dracula X: Rondo of Blood on the PC Engine, but would it have killed Konami to add in the 8 directional whipping and the twirly thing from the peerless Super Castlevania IV? Or to have the R button for using your sub-weapon rather than the old NES controls of holding up and attack? A step backwards imho...
I actually prefer the CV Rondo of Blood for the PC Engine better than Vampire's Kiss, awsome that they realeased it for PSP with SotN & the "remake of Rondo" (CV Dracula X Chronicles). But hey, this game is really good too, and if youre able to get a PAL version of this SNES game, you are lucky. Theyre really rare now.
you are rally tallented and skilled to this game, you are really good ;) alright, i'm not trying to be cruell, or anything, but you kinda suck when it comes to dodgin attacks, sorry :( one thing i really loved was at 8:45 where you just jumped from the stairs on the platform... that was just awsome, again, you are really good at this game, but you need to work you're dodgin skills a little more ;)

The Dracula X release in America was not the Dracula X in Japan. The Dracula X was Rondo of Blood, and this is what America did to it I guess. Japan at one point got it and called it Vampire's Kiss. (All my guess, not the actual answer.)
i love the music in stage 3, i always played castlevania VK with a friend on his pc with windows 98, en w eloved this music, in those time the know what a game was...
Hey...I love SCvIV and the old style ones. But games like CvSOTN, Cv Aria of Sorrow, Cv Dawn of Sorrow, Cv Order of Eclesia and others Metroidvania's are great games.
As NaziArabianJew said...they haven't 3D interactions, keeping the soul of 2D games alive in these sucking 3D generation.
I agree with you all that they should make another one in the old style, but I totally disagree in stop making more Metroidvania's.
i now the metroid serie, i played the on NES, SNES, and GBA, Fusion and Zero Mission, and Gamecube but 3D sucks!!! also can you tell me waht is this Mertoid vanias???
@Asgardsjaeger Kinda late , but what people call "Metroidvania" would be Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, wich many people refer to as the best CV game.
Super Castlevania IV is by far the GREATEST Castlevania game ever.I hope they stop releasing these Metroidvania's and start making them like the good old days and deliver some new Castlevania's old school style.
I'm all for SCIV and I consider it to be one of the greatest CV made, but come on.. The Castleroids keep the story interesting and it avoids 3D iterations--which is a VERY GOOD thing
I never said I liked the 3d castlevania games.Hated them from the begining with the one for N64.The metroidvania's don't feel like Castlevania 4.Having to go back and forth to find a passage to an aeria you couldn't go before and trying to figure out what combination of objects you must have to open doorways and SHIT like that makes the game anoying and boring to begin with.I don't think the story evolved into something good and the players keep getting more boring and ball breaking.
@NaziArabianJew Both the original castlevanias and the castleroids have their upsides and downsides. I personally think that the castleroids are overall better games.
Hmm yea, the game is pretty slow paced...no sliding, or running, or any form of dashing...at least Alucard was able to back dash, I would just back dash around in SotN...still a great game with great music (as with most Casltevania games)
I actually adore the control system in IV. Omni-directional attack, one button for sub-weapons, the game itself was as hard as Contra... o.o That and the castle, music, enemies, bosses, and just about everything else that had to do with Super Castlevania IV rocked complete face. I <3 it.
stage 1 music is the best!! just listen to that beat, it encourages you to keep going, and the graphics are awesome for its time, look at those burning houses, the first time i played this stage i couldnt believe it was real, i asked myself
ya that is a challenge but if you beat him you get...i forget but its totally worth it, i've almost mastered the game but some of the request by whats his face the ghost or whatever *obviously i've forgot a lot* are just insane!
So Rihcter whip again and darcula neck blooded. "Dont understand"
"tath crystal was a fakes i sent it to you to replce the reel one it is full of holy water which you are standing on so yuo lose all your power"
"No that is not make sense"
"Whip again" he commanded as he whipped at the head off. Darcula's head rolled down teh forest hill into the swamp by Tranvlsania Desert and his body turn to dust.
The Richter Belmont was reed a letter he gots from the mail. His son wa sick but he read the lettar ovar the candle for the lights. It was dark night and he was in the house but the lettre ws afrom Maria Rennard!.
The fact that you havn't died any any of the stages is amazing, however you still need alot of work, you should be able to do stage 1 & 2 w/o taking a hit. Good job otherwise.
wow you have a wrong definition of HORRIBLE or you simply have no taste ive seen rondo, and this is 100 times better, learn to have some taste, no castlevania beast this one
what can you compare the stage 1 of dracula x and rondo of blood, dracula x has really detailed flames in the houses not from from ritcher, and all the rondo has is some redish ugly flames far away, eeww bad game....and you like that??? oh well not everyone has taste in the world, i understand ...
From what I seem to understand, Simon Belmont is the good Dracula and the first vampire Dracul is the bad Dracula. Anyone care to tell me what the hell is going on?
Well not really, simon was one of the descendents of the belmont clan, the belmonts are vampire hunters and all them are humans, they use the vampire whip wich is a vampire killer weapon that was first used by leon belmont (castelvania lament of inocence). Leon declared war to dracula until he was destroye forever. So from generation to generation the belmonts keep chasing dracula
@LelouchCommandsYou hmmm I believe so, I remember that there are a couple castlevania games in which Belmonts are related to Dracula, maybe lord of shadows is the one
@LelouchCommandsYou Lords of Shadows follows a different timeline. There, Dracula only appears in the final moments of the game and ***SPOILER*** he is none less than the playable character gabriel belmont to be exact.
All it is is the European version of Dracula X, which, while it is a good game, most prefer the original DX Rondo of Blood. Having not played that yet, I say GET DX/Vampire's Kiss! Great SNES game.
