Is this worth playing at all or is it just an inferior Rondo?

Inferior to Rondo but still a fun game

>>383929693
It's a great game, totally different from rondo. They have basically superficial similarities. This one is harder, though, so be warned.

>>383929693
It's literally a completely different game that just shares the same sprite for the protagonist.
Heck, I recommend you use this hack to change the sprite:

And that completes the transformation into being completely unique and unrelated to Rondo.

Is there a romhack that lets you play the uncensored jap rom with English?

>>383931635
Post above you, the only thing that was censored was blood and the romhack that changes the sprite also uncensors the blood.

>>383931759
How convenient, thanks lad.

>>383931635
You can also play it on psp

Only through emulation.
Dracula X Chronicles does NOT include Dracula X, the SNES game, actually.

DXC includes only Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night, the 2.5D remake of Rondo and finally a small hidden game called Dracula Peke.

Dracula X wasn't included cause it ain't canon which is a super fucking petty reason by IGA because the game is pretty good and the visuals are actually more impressive than in Rondo since SNES could do more in terms of graphics than PC-Engine/TurboGrafix, ironically enough.
PCE's main advantage was usage of CD-ROM for RedBook audio.

Its way worse than Rondo and way different outside of the sprites but its still a decent entry in the series.

Even sprites are different. The only really shared ones are bats, medusa heads, zombies and Richter. Basically it reuses far less Rondo assets than every single post-Rondo game.

The slow as fuck walking ruins it. I'd play just about any other classicvania before it.

a Shit Rondo, but its music is pretty damn good
And some of the versions in this are more punchier sounding like Stage 1's theme.

>those filters

how I play rondo of blood. I don't want to play the shit psp version.

>>383933070
>PSP version
>shit
It's literally the best version of both Rondo and SotN, you are clinically retarded.
Even the 2.5D remake has its merits due to some level changes, completely brand new Stage 5' with new boss in it, Dracula has an extra phase if you save all the girls, generally there's nothing fucking wrong with PSP.

>>383933070
Retroarch+Mednafen PCE,you're welcome.

>>383933190
The 2.5D remake is shit,stop reccomending it.

>>383933249
>The 2.5D remake is shit,stop reccomending it.
It really isn't. It's generally inferior yes, but it does have its merits.
The Ayami Kojima redesigns are superior to the animeshit of the original, new Stage 5' (original didn't have any real one at all), new boss, new 3rd phase for Dracula battle. Those things alone make it worth to give it at least one playthrough.
Besides you don't need to fucking play it if you don't want to, it still has objectively best and definitive versions of both Rondo (the original one) and SotN.

>>383933190
>PSP SOTN

Please get raped by niggers and die, you won't be missed.

>>383933249
he was talking about the rondo in the psp.
It is not shit, but not the best

>>383933425
you do have to play it to find the original games in the levels

>>383933509
The PSP version is not even in the right aspect ratio, it's worthless.

>>383933509
the voice actor they got for Alucard sucks, now he sounds like a girl as well as looking like one

>>383933618
>The PSP version is not even in the right aspect ratio
It is. I bet you used some fucking stretch hacked version from PSPISO.

>>383933618
you can change the aspect ratio idiot, you haven't even played it

>wanting Yuri Lowenthal Alucard

seems like the only good thing about psp sotn is maria is playable. The dialogue with richter and belmont and alucards voice actor is so iconic they had to be nuts to change it.

>>383933732
No, even in the non-stretched mode the picture is still too wide on PSP. Skip to 9:30 in this video and see for yourself - the clock is a fucking oval

It has dual audio you plebs, if you're not using JP voices with glorious Wakamoto Dracula then you're doing it wrong.

>>383933848
No you are still wrong there are 3 aspect ratios you can choose from by the way
here compare it to the ps2 version of the same clock skip to 4:56, its the same with the psp version being more sharp. The only arguement for this version not being the best is you loose your hilarious dub but you can change to Japanese to compensate

>>383934829
Skip to 23:00 in this video of the PS1 version to see what the clock is actually supposed to look like

>>383935087
alright this is way better example, but this still makes no difference as there are 3 aspect rations to choose from even if your autism wont let you accept a single one this is still the best version of sotn as it even adds the extra saturn items but not the extra zones (though the entrance is still in if you hack it)

>>383935595
It actually adds more content than Saturn, and Maria has proper moveset resembling the Rondo loli Maria's instead of just having re-sprited Richter's karate like on Saturn.
Anyway you're preaching to literal idiots that will never see the light so don't bother.
