On the right track, but I beat that one too. Got all three of the dangan ronpa games down too. I guess I mainly use my vita to occupy my pea sized brain with anime.

The Atelier games are all pretty fun if you like the idea of RPGs with involved crafting systems, although they're also all pretty big in terms of download size, which might be an issue since you mentioned you have a small memory card.

Do you need to do much with them? In 1 so far it only seems to be for aiming the bow, but it's kind of made up for by being able to tap on your target. (So you don't need to be able to aim well.)

Two things worth knowing before you buy and play Dracula X Chronicles: pre-SotN Castlevanias are horrible, and they retranslated SotN so all the terribly iconic lines are gone. :(

Dracula X is actually a great remake of one of the best traditional Castlevania games.

Uh what. There's a case to be made for the first two NES titles, and maybe third if you can't get over the old controls, but after that they're loving solid. They're not "metroidvania" until SOTN, but they are solid action adventure games. Dracula X holds up extremely well, remake or original.

Castlevania Chronicles on PSX and Super Castlevania IV on SNES are still worth looks.

Lemon-Lime

It doesn't have anything to do with them being Metroidvanias or not - fixed jump distances and practically no air control does not make for a very fun platformer, IMO. :(

Don't get me wrong, Dracula X is a good remake of Rondo of Blood, but Rondo of Blood is very, very low on the list of games I would ever want to actually replay.

Fair warning - in Dracula X Chronicles you have to do some surprisingly obscure bullshit to actually unlock SotN, so don't be afraid to just look up how to do that.

Super Castlevania IV is still the best non-metroidvania of the series imo, definitely at least one of the best SNES games around

imo only play the 3d remake long enough to unlock original Rondo and SotN

Yeah, the Dracula X port is surprisingly ... not terrible, but it has worse control than Super Castlevania IV, and is just missing loads of stuff from the TG16 version.

I felt this originally, but it's really not bad? There are new things to discover, and it has loads of detail -- like a lot of care went into making it surprisingly.

I like SotN, but I also really like Castlevania ReBirth and wish we saw more Castlevania titles in their original style, rather than Metroidvania because I don't even like Super Metroid.

Similar deal happened with RE4, which I don't like either, but it was immensely popular and changed the direction of the series forever. Dead serious.

Severed's control scheme kind of makes me wonder if they plan on porting it to mobile at some point (if only because it doesn't seem like the best financial decision to make a Vita exclusive indie game)
