@[email protected] I love how in modern day people avoid talking about that big “spoiler” moment in the game and this review is just like “HOLY CRAP THIS BIG SPOILER MOMENT IS GOING TO BLOW PEOPLE’S MINDS!!!”
That’s definitely the Saturn version, you can play as Maria! (Where’s our definitive Night Dive remaster of SotN!?)
But I thought “Castlevania X” was Rondo of Blood? Oh or is that… Dracula X? The international names, ugh!
It’s a bit of a mess when it comes to the naming conventions, especially since the Japanese titles were quite different.
As you might know, the Japanese titles up until a certain point were called Akumajou Dracula instead of Castlevania.
What makes it more confusing is that the game on Saturn and PSone is called Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku.
While the PC-Engine one is called Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo.
Making it seem like it’s a spin-off.
