Never. They will never make a 3ds castlevania. Too bad they never made and released one for the 3ds.

found a boss fight in hod, behind a rock wall. there was a cutscene with text and stuff so it was an important fight, i killed it and got nothing. looked up a guide. from there you have to go aaalll the way back to this other castle warp point, then come all the way to the same room in the alt castle for a cutscene where you get the next major item

i just deleted the rom

being forced to navigate half the entire castle 4 times for dumb story bullshit is terrible, as well as being lost all the time with a bad map

I'm playing CotM now and it is definitely my kind of game. I'll never understand why they removed running as a basic ability, legit platforming and enemies that actually deal a decent amount of damage from castlevania games after this one.

Newgame+ isn't anything crazy but it does have some cool things that change gameplay up. The only thing I think is bad about cotm is the DSS cards are dumb. OoE had the training hall which was sort of platforming.

imo it is extremely messed up that lords of shadow 2 exists.

LoS2 isn't as bad as everyone says it is...

however you could excise everything that happens in the modern day and it would be infinitely better.

hugh isn't that bad but he has a ton of things he can do you have to be ready for. i think the worst part is that if you mess up the save point is forever away and dark armors are really good at punching your face in

CotM owns and never really gets the credit it deserves but i'm p sure people ignored it when it came out because it was legit impossible to play on the regular, unlit gba due to how dark the color palette is

Circle of the Moon had one of the more interesting bosses


Castlevania III is cool since you get to pick your BFF

I usually pick the wizard, but the pirate and Alucard are cool too.

This boss loving sucks I hate this boss and I hope whoever developed this boss gets kicked in his stinking nutsack

the best part of Circle of the Moon is the ability to run through the poisoned water area like a loving suicidal idiot instead of purifying it and just straight skipping a whole boss and section of the castle. It's the most obvious sequence-break in the series.

E: also I did this for three playthroughs before I even realized there was a boss you could kill to purify the water.

that boss is good and learning how to dodge his moves was a rewarding experience. this game also has a top tier death, second only to OoE's

I love Castlevania music pretty much across the series, but nothing sounded like Super Castlevania IV did.

now that you beat the game i don't feel bad telling you that there's a glitch in the game where if you have at least one card combo you can access every other card combo in the game. it's awesome you beat dracula legit though, i'm pretty sure no matter what you do that fucker can always kill you in 3 hits or less

Harmony of Dissonance is exceptionally bad in comparison with the other two GBA games, wowwie. I try really hard to like it but I always make the mistake of playing it after one of the others, and can never stomach more than 1 hour

His charging attack dealt 768 of my 730 health in damage. he was friggin hard.

mostly because his eyeball form is reaaaaallllly hard to hit.

Portrait of Ruin got here so I jumped right into it today. So far I like how Jonathan and Charlotte work but the bosses haven't been too great yet.

There is no version of SotN that looks gross.

Maybe the 360 version if you stretched it into a weird aspect ratio...
