Konami only released a handful of games for the PC Engine system, and Akumajō Dracula X is often considered as the most polished and one of the best 'true Castlevania' game. The player starts the game as Ritcher Belmont, descendant of the Belmont bloodline who's destiny is to oppose the evil spirit of Dracula. Our hero, like his ancestors did before him, is a mission to rescue his beloved Annette Renard from the hands of the evil vampire and his army of minions and servants. Players will also free more villagers as they venture deeper inside Dracula's creepy castle - and even play as the young Maria Renard if they happen to be skilled enough to find her. The game follows the Castlevania's tradition and Ritcher can strike his enemies with his whip or special weapons such as daggers, axes or crucifixes. The game offers seven huge areas to explore but also alternate routes, bringing the total to twelve stages. Thanks to the SuperCDRom² format, a long and full screen introduction sequence feeds the game story with elegance and... German voice acting. Konami put the icing on the cake by also giving players the ability to purchase clues and tactics to beat bosses and the total percentage of game completed. Their path to victory is for the most part linear but various stages are designed with alternate routes and side quests.
