Play Castlevania - Dracula X Online

Castlevania: Dracula X on the SNES is one of those games that feels like a gothic horror movie in cartridge form. You play as Richter Belmont, whip in hand, storming through candle-lit corridors and moonlit courtyards to rescue his kidnapped lover from Dracula—because, of course, the guy just can’t stay dead.

The levels are packed with those classic Castlevania traps—swinging axes, crumbling floors, and Medusa heads that fly at you in the worst possible moments. And the bosses? Huge, screen-filling monstrosities that make you rethink your entire strategy halfway through the fight. The music’s all dramatic organ and pounding drums, which somehow makes getting knocked into a pit by a bat feel more epic than it should.

It’s not the easiest game in the series, but there’s something satisfying about finally nailing that perfect whip arc to take down Death’s scythe barrage. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a vampire-hunting badass with a killer soundtrack, this is your game.
