Dracula X (PC Engine) Vs Super Castlevania IV (SNES) - which game is better?

[warpig227]

IV ! maybe its because i grew up on it but buy a hair i go with iv

[Tatsujin]

I also had IV 3 years before drac x, and drac x still wins a million times over IV. hehe.

FINAL CONSENSUS: Super Castlevania IV edges out Dracula X in a closely fought contest. Ultimately, Dracula X simply did not age as well as SCIV.

THANK YOU. THIS DISCUSSION IS NOW PERMANENTLY OVER.

I have been playing SotN over the past couple of days... never played it before. I've gotta say... this game is f*cking awesome. But, it'd be like comparing apples to oranges... it's not a level-based platformer like Rondo is, it's an explorative ("open world") platformer, so really all you'd be doing is comparing representatives of two distinct platformer subgenres that both just so happen to be Castlevania games.

Only thing I don't like about SotN is how easy the damn game is.  Even with losing all your weapons reaching Death in the first level.

[nodtveidt]

Yeah, that's true... it's been a cakewalk for the most part for me so far... and in parts where it might be tough to kill a boss, all you have to do is level up and/or change equipment. Also, some parts were just bloody obvious to figure out, but I'm sure the designers thought they were so clever... spike-breaking armor found after a hallway of spikes you can Mist through... hrm... I'm sure that's clever to a 7 year old, but it was the bleeding obvious to me.

[Tatsujin]

lol, rover became a bloody limey?

[gamerslife]

sadly i've never played the pce version of Dracula X, but have them both on the SNES and do enjoy X more than IV so I'm sure PCE X wins this contest for me too

[Tatsujin]

yeah. definitely must be that way, since: pce drac x [x-------------------l--------------------]  snes drac x

and now, GET PCE DRAC X AT ONCE!!!
