Castlevania: Dracula X, Or known in Japan as Devil's Castle Dracula X: Rondo of Blood (no joke), is the 5th installment in the Castlevania series. You play as Richter Belmont and go through 9 stages, armed with a whip and you can pick up a secondary weapon by killing enemies or whipping candles, and if you are holding a secondary weapon and get a new one, your current one will be dropped so you can swap them back if you change your mind. In candles, you will also (and most commonly) find hearts. A small heart counts as 1 and a big heart counts as 5. Hearts are not health, they are am unit ion for whatever secondary weapon you have.

You use the a button to jump, b to whip, and up + b to use your secondary weapon. Left and right to move left and vice verso and down to duck or go down stairs, and up to go up stairs. As for your whip, you can only whip in front of you, unlike in Super Castlevania IV you can whip in 8 directions. But as for the stairs, you can actually JUMP on the stairs, which helps a lot. And if you press y button, you will do a special attack. This will launch out a huge storm of whatever secondary weapon you are using, but it costs more hearts. But it does lots more damage and helps against bosses or in areas with tons of enemies.

Graphics: The graphics are excellent. A lot of attention to detail and colors. You can tell Richter has some muscles due to the coloration, same with the skeletons how they look rotted slightly. The animation is also well done, not a single frame missing. The backgrounds I like in particular. That fire effect in the first level is awesome with how it waves around. The background also has some nice Gothic details to it, like the destroyed buildings in level one and the castle walls in the other 8 levels.

Sound: The sound has awesome music. Remixes of the classic "Classicvania'' songs. The sound effects are also nice as well, like when you hit an enemy with your whip.

Depth: This game has a lot of depth in it with the weapons, special attacks, controls, ect.

Addictiveness: This game is really fun and one of the better installments in the series with it's responsive controls, good level design, and weapons.

Difficulty: This game is very difficult, and can sometimes lead to some frustration. But hey, difficulty is a GOOD thing. And what do you expect from a game with only 9 levels? But they cut you some slack with infinite continues and it always starts you on the level you are on, which is good since the levels you are stuck on, you need more practice on them to be able to get better and beat it.

Overall: Overall, this is a great addition to the series. Very difficult and has some resemblance to the NES debut Castlevania game, but all in all, I highly recommend giving this a shot.?

Very descriptive and well written. This one is on my list of games to play. Maybe there could have been more description on sound, depth and difficulty? I look forward to seeing more reviews from you!
