A Great StartJustSearchingForGoodHacks2021-07-03Version 1.0

This is great. No more cheap and stupid final boss fight. A great way to fix one of the many problems of this game.

I love how now the boss fight is possible to be beaten. Thank you so much for the fix.

Be gone Cheap Final Boss!!Demos10852020-07-16Version 1.0

Dracula X may not compare to more polished entries in the Castlevania Saga, like Super Castlevania IV or Castlevania Rondo of Blood, but I like it for his simplicity, it is classic Castlevania at is core straightforward, thought, a little clumsy, but satisfying once you figure it out, since it's also pretty short I always enjoyed playing this game from beginning to end in a single sit, but the final boss battle was always the low point of the experience, this was because the pits made taking any hit potentially fatal, I was forced to counter attack with equally cheap tactics, like staying in a single platform waiting for Dracula to randomly teleport near me so I could attack him, making the fight boring and unnecessary long, this patch solves this issue, making the final battle much more dynamic and entertaining since you could chase Dracula around the Arena without the fear of being killed by a single cheap shot. Definitely recommended.
