Oh trust me Dracula x I definitely wanna do I just never played it and don’t have the time to cover it in this moment but I wanted to give Bloodlines the spotlight cause I truly feel this game is under appreciated and under SCV4’s shadow which I still feel this game is better in terms of gameplay and replayability. The final boss makes me inclined to conquer Dracula x when I have the time

I can agree with bloodlines being more fun than 4 as well. Rondo it’s a great game but i haven’t played it too many times but i’d say my list for now is best to worst:cv3,cv1,bloodlines, rondo, scv4 and I’ll probably make a new list sometime later

cant comment but someday I want to get around to it if it is as "hard" as they say

@Imgoodurbadd it always depends on what people mean by hard since Castlevania Chronicles even have an easy mode called Arrange Mode with no knock back for example.

@@EuSouRCS Man you should know me by now. I got to play the highest difficulty available xd

​@@Imgoodurbaddone thing you should know is that there are a few gameplay differences between ps1 "original mode" and the og sharpx68000 version that makes the game easier and/or less accurate for the former (ai being broken, time being faster etc) So yeah if you wanna bother yourself with chronicles just keep that in mind. The game is based tho (<-didnt get past the clocktower)

@thesubinion thanks for the info! Yeah whatever’s the most difficult or janky I’ll try to beat sometime

I can agree. I like it but out of most classicvanias, I dont go back to it often although I can agree the atmosphere is really good.

@Imgoodurbadd very good game indeed,but the only reason to be so overrated is because anyone can beat it easily.

@@EuSouRCS more of my reason is just it drags on I feel and coming after CV3, it drops all the features that game had which I see as a step backwards. I guess the difficulty plays a part but I'm more into NES games and Bloodlines one of the few sega genesis titles I've played and know well

@Imgoodurbadd exactly! Castlevania 3 is a MASTERPIECE with so many features then we got Super Castlevania IV with mode 7 and that OP whip,big deal.

I guess but I will say it's wrong xd. I think the main thing to compare is bloodlines and 4's gameplay. 4 the whip is fun but the cross is only viable weapon and the levels kind of drag on. Bloodlines has controls I enjoy more, gives subweapons secondary functions, the blue whip is cool idea(one hit though is lame) and two characters to choose. Bloodlines could've done better with alt paths

True. This entry give me any day of the week compared to 4

I have a better strat: dont die. Gotem. I think the 1ups play a pivotal role this time around which is cool but limited continues is bad design in games so it cant be pardoned but I kind of forget it has them

Dont worry I plan on doing the NES trilogy and the classic series when I play 7,8,bass and 10 plus try the X games. I dont want to do it back to back to back so I'll tease when MM2 is next :)

I agree. I wanted to bring some attention to it and cover on expert also. CV64 now that is interesting to hear and LOD. Never tried them

@Imgoodurbadd CV64 was unfortunately released unfinished... Or rather severely compromised by tossing out close to half of the originally planned game to release the version of the game they could finish. Legacy of Darkness is the "director's cut" , a new version of the original planned game. Still not the original planned version. But closer to it. Adding tons of new gameplay, features, levels, and improved camera and controls, while also removing elements from the initial game. I always play them back to back, because they are two halves of the same whole. They are truly great games, with minor flaws. The original got pretty good reviews upon release. LoD got mediocre reviews, mostly criticizing the game for A) being the game that should have been released in the first place & B) coming out so soon after the original. I truly love those games. They are my favorite Castlevania games out of the entire franchise.

Yeah. I think it is underrated because I dont hear too much praise for the game and yes I have to play this on expert otherwise it's too easy xd

I still stand on CV3 is the best due to replayability, music, and the partners plus multiple paths which make the replayability so I've easily played that entry the most

John is under the water please help him

It is sorry to say. Love the extra orchestral in this version and I listen to this version way more

Yeah old games be like that. Pretty stupid

Never heard of the game so that will be a while. I don't have time to cover new stuff right now

sometime later down the road. I havent played it yet not in my current schedule

Ye it's very underrated imo. I enjoy it a lot more compared to SCV4 and Rondo the other popular ones

yeah it's pretty liberating to run through the game especially when usually holding the spin slash and knowing what candles hold weapons and ninpo. I enjoy learning the game.

I definitely want to. There's a whole world of retro I've barely scratched the surface of so I will cover as much as I can and you guys like. As for TMNT and DD3, not sure because I have not played those titles.

Well in my experience I hear SCV4 and Rondo getting more praise when I dont hear anything about this game. Regardless, I wanted to bring limelight to this game.

Me. I feel bad she kinda bad though. But she trying to take over the world with him so no good

Yes of course. I like the choice of Eric but come on you have to pick the guy with the whip and I like John's controls better and it would be boring af on normal. I like SCV4 for atmosphere and music, but yeah I think some levels are a bit too long and not interesting enough and not memorable bosses. Also coming after CV3 with all the replayability and different characters, 4 lacks a lot and Bloodlines bring some of the features back. I like Rondo too more than 4 but it doesnt do it for me or I'm just incredibly biased for NES games. Thanks also for the compliment!

I usually have plasma whip and axe for that rush. Yeah it's repetitive but at least the bosses have half health so you can kill them faster

Interesting take never heard anyone like Dracula X. I do wanna cover it someday havent tried it out

And the pits for the final boss. Yes, you hear me correctly. Pits.

@@Imgoodurbadd I think the people that hate it played Rondo first. But I played it before Rondo and liked more than I liked CV4. CV4 just has such dreary graphics. And a weird meandering soundtrack(except Simon's Theme, which rules).

@@mapmakerlich Can't argue with that. That final boss fight is a nightmare.

@@DarthEnderX I could see that. I went in order so SCV4, Bloodlines, then Rondo I believe and Bloodlines triumphs it for me. Still my 3rd overall fav 2nd CV1 and CV3

I dont think it's really a glitch but maybe AI manipulation. I'm just lazy lol.

Should I though? He doesnt hold the vampire killer

@@Imgoodurbadd His pantsless apparel strikes fear in the hearts of night creatures.

Well they are in this game. They're hella slow and dont knockback as far. They only show up three times in the game I think

True. I like this entry in the series a lot

It's definitley something I wanna cover but not anytime soon. Never played it and I dont have the time so I appreciate the recommendation!

For me CV3 easily, then CV1, Rondo, SCV4 then the rest idc enough lol or never played

Yes I am still a CV3 diehard fan(american version I'm weird I know) I'd say Bloodlines is third after CV1 and CV3

@@Imgoodurbadd well for a more unpopular opinion. I think rondo is a bit overrated and dracula X deserves more love. The level design in rondo is boring and bland with long hallways everywhere. Dracula X has tighter level design with a few annoying parts later in the game. I still love Rondo though.

@@Roge9 very interesting with drac x. I havent gotten around to it but when I have time I want to cover it and yes I like Rondo but idk might just be NES bias but it doesnt do it for me like CV1 and CV3

Yeah I just thought this looked nicer and more modern sorry

Never played MM8, but the tower level moving is a really cool effect

Ain't a hot take my friend. It's a snore fest

I agree. I like the game do not get me wrong but it feels empty compared to CV3 and Bloodlines with multiple characters and alt paths(I wish Bloodlines did more with alt paths)

I agree xd

Yes I agree. It's a damn fine entry and it has two characters to play.

Truly. It's why I wanted to cover it and give it some spotlight. Even though it lacks some traditional classicvania features like the Belmonts, John Morris still works and you can have the choice to play as Eric

One is amazing the other is mid

Castlevania Bloodlines was always one of the weakest of the classic Castlevania games and it really is pathetic that so many that really don't understand these games try to put it up on an undeserved pedestal. It looks ugly, and even a little goofy at times. The audio is probably the weakest with everything from the wolf bosses eeeeeeeee howl to those awful bird flapping sounds. The compositions aren't bad, but not as good as the other Castlevania games. The level design, while by no means bad, isn't as good as 4, 3, or Rondo. The play mechanics feel like half-hearted steps backward from Castlevania 4.

​@@davidaitken8503 castlevania 4 level design is pretty mediocre for the most part, it's very bland with no substance or interesting ideas and when it's not bland the ideas are usually very badly executed

Interesting. I find SCV4 to be more praised but because maybe the fact more kids has SNES but I am unsure

I will agree the sound effects and atmosphere isnt the best in Bloodlines but I think the gameplay is better. Yeah SCV4 gives you the freedom of multi directional whip but there's no reason to use subweapons and I think the lack of alt paths isnt great.(bloodlines at least tried alt paths, but has 2 characters so replayability is there) Bloodlines does have a difficulty adjuster which is nice

Thank you! I appreciate it yes I think this game needs more recognition I play it more than SCV4 and Rondo and I really like the game.

You better finish the game or else xd

@Imgoodurbadd or else what

@@issac6156 I will send Medusa heads to your house

wrong music lol

Moonwalking is not in my gaming critique xd but it's cool

yeah holy water was nerfed in SCV4 and still bad here. CV3 holy water come back to me

sign up for my newsletter xd

wow that is very interesting! I had no clue about that I guess the dev's really put some thought and not just a goofy design. Thank you for sharing that!

@WaywardRobot Cro tch mouth spitting fire sounds like he caught some nasty S TD from someone he brought home from a bar last night

Bro, same xD Such a blast from the past when internet and youtube were still wild lol

I'm glad it worked. One of my favorite videos on all of UA-cam.

I dont agree its peak. Personally, CV3 is peak with music, graphics, replayability and gameplay. I think every other entry has not lived up to those expectations and SCV4 lacked all the features of CV3

Thank you! I appreciate that and glad you liked it. Yeah it's a mix it's satire but also I've played the games I covered way too many times so these games are very easy for me but once I gain the time, there are more titles that are hard I want to go after
