A thread to talk about the classic series Castlevania from the original NES games, Symphony of the Night, the Netflix series, to even the DS games like Portrait of Ruin

I have so many Castlevania games this forum won’t allow me to show them all in one post, lol.

Looking at a list I pretty much own every Castlevania game released on Nintendo, MS and Sony consoles and handhelds in some for or another (like Rondo of Blood I only have as unlockable on the PSP game Dracula X Chronicles), including Kid Dracula, excluding Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.

All great picks. Never got around to playing PoR though! I have the other two DS games, but not that one. Need to track down a copy.

PoR has a very special place in my heart because it got me through a very difficult time in my life

did you ever play the GBA Castlevania like Aria of Sorrow or Harmony of Dissonance?

Unfortunately no! Dawn of Sorrow on the DS was actually my very first Castlevania game, so I’ve been playing catch up ever since haha. I should download the GBA trilogy on my Wii U.

My favorites are Super Castlevania IV, Rondo of Blood, and Symphony of the Night.

By the way, I find Lords of Shadow games very underrated.

Symphony of the Night is one of my favorite games ever. Lords of Shadow was an interesting trilogy. The last one was odd, though.

Bloodstained, the spiritual successor, is pretty fantastic too. I made some trophy guides for a few of these over on PlaystationTrophies.org, for Bloodstained and Castlevania Anniversary Collection. Don’t tell I sent you though, I hate those people right now lol.

I’m an old timer so my favorite will always be the first game. Being an Indiana Jones fan I was immediately drawn to the game because it was one of the few games on the market at the time that the hero actually used a bullwhip as his main weapon. Hell, I think it was the ONLY game out that had the character using a whip. Of course there’s the old Atari Raiders game but I prefer not to think about that. LOL

Anyway, I played the shit out of Castlevania. I loved Simon’s Quest and Dracula’s Curse too. Symphony was also a lot of fun and I loved the RPG elements of that game. I played a few of the portable ones but just couldn’t get into them. Super Castlevania was “Ok”……best part of that game was the ability to use your whip to swing. LOL

After those games I’ve lost track and never really got into the new stuff. I’d love for them to reboot the series and maybe turn it into an open world type of game and explore a big map. Think Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Undead Nightmare. I think that would be really fun. :)
