Castlevania: Dracula X (Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss in Europe and Akumajō Dracula XX in Japan) is a platform game and sequel/remake of Demon Castle Dracula X: Reincarnation of Blood (Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo). Numerous levels were cut or redone, and the graphics and audio were of a lower quality than the original. The game was the first to feature Richter Belmont, who is often considered to be the most powerful Belmont.

It was developed and published by Konami in 1995, and is the final Castlevania installment to be released for the SNES. It shares the gameplay and storyline of Chi no Rondo, but the levels had been completely redesigned and other elements were completely taken out of the game. In Australia, the game was released, uncensored, under the Vampire's Kiss title.

[edit] Story

It is 1791 in Transylvania; one hundred years have passed since legendary hero Simon Belmont defeated the evil Count Dracula and sealed him away for what was supposed to be eternity. The people have long since forgotten about the horror of the undead, thus allowing a few depraved individuals to restore the Prince of Darkness to his former state; sleeping in his coffin by day and preying upon hapless victims by night.

Dracula now plans to get revenge on his old enemy through his descendants by locking Annet, the girlfriend of Belmont's great grandson, Richter, and her sister, Maria, in his dark and gloomy castle.

Once aware of this, Richter takes his ancestor's sacred whip, passed down through the years from father to son, and sets out for Dracula's castle to rescue Annet and Maria, and to seal away the evil Count for good.
