When it drunkenly stumbles into all the Castlevania parties, Dracula X gets some serious side-eye from the chad units Super Castlevania IV and Rondo of Blood. Even their sidekick Bloodlines has far more going for it with its two playable characters.

Dracula X is slower, clunkier, and worse-looking. It lacks the branching paths of Rondo and the gameplay variety of IV. It’s not a horrible game, just a step back. Doesn’t fit in with the cool kids, but doesn’t deserve to sit with the booger-eating Castlevania Adventure.

In case you’re wondering, Castlevania 64 is too cool to be at the party and is upstairs with your sister and your mom.
