Alright faggots, we're having a motherfucking Castlevania thread. Post your favorite vanias and talk about them. For me it's between 1 and 4. 1 was super tight, the difficulty was just right and it didn't overstay its welcome. Super 4 had that sweet directional whip, more control, great soundtrack and one of the best final bosses in the series.

I still need to play 4
1 is great but haven't been able to finish it yet. I'm very glad a game over doesn't send you to the very beginning like in contra

1, 3, and X68000 are the only ones worth bothering with, FUCK the rest. Also Richter was a faggot and his game was the beginning of the end for Castlevania.

I'm most nostalgic for 4. It's probably my most beaten Castlevania. But I think Rondo has taken over as my favorite over the years. The feel of the game is just right. I go back to SOTN often too, it still feels really good to control but I'm more critical of its game design now. I'm not as much a fan of the metroidvania style games as I was once.

I like most of them but IV is my favorite, with 1, 3 and Rondo very close.
What did you guys think of the proto of IV? Did you try the ROM?

Rondo is basically a more refined and prettier 3 though. Iga being put in charge of the whole series basically doomed it. The 2D games rehashed so much from SOTN and he couldn't make it work in 3D so it basically trailed off until the reboot. Castlevania 64 was a better game than Lament of Innocence.

I didn't play it but I watched a stream of it. I wish it was a version closer this promo video. But it was still cool to see even if the levels weren't that much different from the final release. The music was the most interesting part. All the tracks are missing that little something extra that makes them great.

I think Rondo is easily the best for me.
But you can't really go wrong with this series, unless your favourite is the original english version of 2.

I was thinking about playing through the series for October but that might be too much of a task for me to accomplish. I did replay a couple though, SC4 is still good, tried a little of the hard loop too but didn't get far. Need to complete that some day. Also beat SOTN again, enjoyable but it's always a slog to get through the inverted castle. I think I'll do 1 next.

Castlevania is indeed very solid. No fat to trim and an absolute blast to run through. Just the right amount of challenge and it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
