You might not know it to look at me, but I can run really, really fast.

Presenting the holy grail of my collection: Kiseki Gattai Ideon, released in 1980

Castlevania: Dracula X (1995): Abysmal dogshit. Its issues are so far removed from comparisons to Rondo, the i-frames lasting as long as your knockback and the boxes they put you in with those pink spear guys made this so unpleasant to get through

Truly awful Dracula fight too

Castlevania thread since I'm playing through all the main ones in release order:

Castlevania: Bloodlines (1994): Technically I played Vampire Killer but whatever. A surprisingly refreshing game that was brisk enough for me to get through twice in one sitting. I could see myself coming back to this one when I've got 90 minutes to kill

I ended up having to change the tilt controls btw, rotating the stick was fun until I wanted to hover in the Landmaster

Also turned off rumble for Venom, I couldn't steer properly while fighting against it

It's like I'm actually there

[Desmo @_Desmodus_]

Yeah

This rules

Now why didn't they call the figure "Marvel's Crusher Creel"

I think the controls are great too, but who's surprised there

[Desmo @_Desmodus_]

This game is peak, it just asks that you pay attention

And the "obscure" hidden tiles were surprisingly intuitive too. I found a few of the necessary ones and realised there were indirect hints to them in other areas, effectively doubling your chance of finding out that something's up
