If the game is called Castlevania, there better be a drat castle. :colbert:

Curse of Darkness has out of castle areas as well. You should get on that game its good.

Ecclesia is out of the castle until the last quarter that I haven't beat, I'm assuming that the game ends with the castle

A lot of Castlevanias don't fully take place in Drac's castle.

CV2, CV3, CV4, CVX/Rondo, Bloodlines, Dawn of Sorrow, Curse of Darkness, Portrait of Ruin (painting zones), Adventure 2, Judgement (lol), Lords of Shadow.

Like 2030 or something, so there's no laser guns or anything. I guess maybe Soma dresses weird because that's the style in the future but otherwise it doesn't seem to impact anything.

There must be some insanely detailed Castlevania timeline out there, but I don't know if I'm ready to jump down that rabbit hole. I do like that Portrait's plot references Bloodlines.

In Aria of Sorrow I liked the fact I could wield a gun, to bad they were never useful though. I have yet to new game plus Dawn but I'm looking forward to it.

This website in 2016 has frames and is completely unreadable on mobile. I love it.

I think I enjoyed Julius mode in Dawn more than the actual game.

Pay attention to the bat pattern, they're actually the least threatening of his attacks after you die to them two or three times
