That's definitely the Saturn version, you can play as Maria! (Where's our definitive Night Dive remaster of SotN!?)

But I thought "Castlevania X" was Rondo of Blood? Oh or is that.... Dracula X? The international names, ugh!

@CodexArcanum@lemmy.world

It's a bit of a mess when it comes to the naming conventions, especially since the Japanese titles were quite different.

As you might know, the Japanese titles up until a certain point were called Akumajou Dracula instead of Castlevania.

What makes it more confusing is that the game on Saturn and PSone is called Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku.

While the PC-Engine one is called Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo.
Making it seem like it's a spin-off.
