Two very badly designed areas, some new items, a new relic, new outfit for richter that's still not accurate to his artwork, and really stupid new enemies.

Also lots of slowdown and degraded effects.

what was the new relic?

Shoes of godspeed. They give you an ability to "run" as Alucard. It's really just a Richter style doubletap run which skips Al's walking intro and goes immediately into his run sprites, with a small speed boost.

There are a few more bugs in the DXC version, but one of them lets you skip death in any game mode, and that is awesome! Here's a video of how to skip death and a few other rare bugs I found...

So despite being a little more buggy, I would have to vote for the PSP/DXC version...btw, how do you vote?

That's called variable jumping. It's in the rest of the other exploration-esque Castlevanis as well.

Yeah it was a Relic. You could use it at anytime, without it having to take up an equip slot.

You ran at double speed, just like Richter's double tap run that Serio is talking about, but you're Alucard, and it added some nice, faster gameplay, and is a change of pace when compared to the other SOTN games.
