did anybody play any of the PS2 games? I'm wondering if Lament of Innocence is worth trying out or not.

Castlevania: Bus Ride of Burnt Toast
― kingfish, Thursday, 23 August 2007 21:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Playing C:Order of Shadows. It's a lot like the NES versions, due to the limited controls. You still have stats & an inventory, tho.
― kingfish, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 23:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Two new games on the way, another DS title and a 3d fighter:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania:_Order_of_Ecclesia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania_Judgment
Apparently, the Portrait of Ruin team is again working on this. Too bad I sold the DS a year, but we'll see.
― kingfish, Saturday, 12 July 2008 08:33 (fifteen years ago) link
I kinda burned out on these games when I picked up that GBA double pack with Harmony/Aria, though they were both fun. Both pretty good, though Aria was way better (damn you addictive soul collect-a-thon!) in general.
Not sure if I should still bother to get the two DS games, or just wait until Order comes out.... what say you?
― Nhex, Saturday, 12 July 2008 22:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Got an emulator for the original PC Engine "Rondo of Blood". Yeah, it's the best Castlevania game ever.

I really like the anime feel on this one. The controls are perfect and the game music is amazing. Stage 2 is like being in the "Thriller" music video.
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
This game is a work of art, Roget Ebert can suck it.

I need to get these drum samples.

Playing "Castlevania: Bloodlines" for Genesis now. Amazing soundtrack as always, cool as hell bad guys, nice weapons, etc. Buying a Castlevania game is like buying a Beatles record.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 13:09 (eleven years ago) link
Bloodlines was awesome, underlooked probably because it wasn't a main series title. Definitely preferred it to IV though, and a good stepping stone to the Rondo/Symphony series.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 15:25 (eleven years ago) link
it's not a lot like buying a beatles record
― the bitcoin comic (thomp), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
I never had a Genesis so I never got a chance to play Bloodlines.

― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 20:10 (eleven years ago) link
it's more that the level design is lazy -- you can fly anywhere, so they add a ton of spikes and lasers, the end. but also most of the sprites are ripped from rondo of blood, beelzebub and the optional boss being exceptions.

thanks that’s what i would have posted if I hadn’t been in bed

i like Celeste mechanically but wish i could excise between 80 and 100% of the script
i feel like its lineage isn’t particularly Mario tho. it feels more like a ZX spectrum platformer (though obviously , yes, much better) than a console one.
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Saturday, 30 May 2020 03:08 (three years ago) link
tbf i haven't played rondo of blood since the late 90s when i foolishly let my original copy slip into a friend's hands. i did remember a bunch of the sprites going over to SOTN so that's fair. but not all of them surely!! i dunno i had a blast in the second half, love all those environments, shit was cool. def not as "tight" as the first half but that's true of tons of games that open up in terms of linearity as you go on.

The Last Faithhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN3Opf27ztoIt's amazing how many of these games there are, I find most of them on this channel, but see this playlist in particular.http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7eMqz_fn4BpW8BEBUQcmHtAi3Xc77ef4
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 31 May 2020 19:19 (three years ago) link
SOTN and another CV game is cheap on PS Store at the moment so I grabbed them. Worth it?
― doorstep jetski (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 13:21 (three years ago) link
Certainly. Rondo of Blood is my favorite of the "classic" gameplay style. It placed #44 on this recent forum poll of platformers: https://www.resetera.com/threads/reseteras-101-essential-platformers-top-101-posted-hm-voting-in-progress.217215/
I picked up the collection with 1-4 and Bloodlines. I've never played Bloodlines before.
― wasdnous (abanana), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 16:42 (three years ago) link
Bloodlines is totally dope. One of the best classic era titles.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 8 July 2020 00:48 (three years ago) link
Interesting that Wallachia goes for a specifically early 90s lookhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8CPL7Y4aAw
And the new Record Of Lodoss War game looks modeled on Iga era Castlevaniahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdmKbXx6gtU
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 7 November 2020 19:40 (three years ago) link
A Lodoss War game? in 2020??All for it, but surprised. Lol at that "Item Get" animation being a carbon copy of the Igavania message style
― Nhex, Saturday, 7 November 2020 19:47 (three years ago) link
the lodossvania is by the same folks that made the touhouvania game a year or two ago that was pretty good
― ciderpress, Saturday, 7 November 2020 19:53 (three years ago) link
I didn't realize that the first Lodoss book (Grey Witch?) appeared in english a few years ago, some reviewers say it's completely generic but I'm putting it on my endless list of things I'd like to but probably wont read. Actually I didn't know there was a book series that came out of another table top rpg.

I had no idea that in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - the gradient in the UI flips based on which castle you are in (normal or upside down) pic.twitter.com/tSpORA19cz— Derek Daniels (@derek_omni) May 18, 2021

They should flipped the text as well for the full upside-down experience
