Dracula X is an action platform game of the highest quality. The visuals are superb throughout with some great parallax scrolling, huge sprites and atmospheric design. The music is also top notch with familiar tunes remixed well and some great new music too. The gameplay is balanced carefully - it's quite challenging in places, but practice always pays off without it getting too frustrating. This game is highly regarded among both PC Engine collectors and Dracula/Castlevania fans alike - it is one of the finest entries in the series (before it took on Metroid-style gameplay) and an essential purchase.
