    Serio's Castlevania Fighter as a game involving Serio is finished, in that Serio has stopped contributing to its development--but several of us who were involved in its development under Serio are continuing to develop the game (or a version of it) without him.

    The bonus game is a Doom WAD called Castlevania Simon's Destiny.

      ​@@sammyshehole Hiya and thanks! The game is not full yet but since this video there has been about 12-20+ updates. Adding lots of graphical, sound, story, feature and new content updates. Currently working on the next patch but I'm a lot behind due to making a huge patch almost a game rewrite update to another game I made called Monolith Tiermes for a dungeon crawler jam. Once that update is done I'm back working on this game 100%. I dont have a time frame as I'm bad with those but I originally intended to finish Simons Curse this year but I'm uncertain about that. It still has lots of content to play and saves SHOULD always work with future versions as well. If you follow the project you get notifications once a new version comes out. Thanks for showing interest in the project =)

    Gonna have to add the recent Castlevania ReVamped to the list. Best Castlevania fan game I’ve played. Lecarde Chronicles 2 is right up there alongside it, though.

    Chronicles 2: Simon's Quest as well as the Lecarde Chronicles 2 are ones I found out about recently, and really want to try them both! They both have their ups and downs of course, but still I do love me some Castlevania, and have been looking for new ones to play since Konami isn't likely to release a 'traditional' Castlevania (either linear or Metroidvania style) anytime soon, if at all.

      @jaredelizardo201 7 місяців тому +1

      The reason for Konami not makeing a castlevania is that the company is gone too 💩 as the guy behind silent Hill said after he Quit working for them.# he said on a recent podcast if they change there ways I will return but it's not likely going too happen .

    • @sammyshehole
      @sammyshehole 3 місяці тому

      Chronicles 2 was great. And it had one of the most satisfying final boss fights in the series. It was rough and felt good when I finally beat him.
      I do wish there was an option to choose a more toned down soundtrack, like the original game. I’ve never been a big fan of the heavy metal music people sometimes use in Castlevania games.

    Castlevania The Lecarde Chronicles 2 is still the best fan game ever made, in my opinion. Lecarde 1, despite its gameplay shortcomings, is a masterpiece when it comes to dark atmosphere. On that list, the only one I never played was Serio's.

No one wants to play demos...and by the time they finish these games it'll be too little, too late and the fan fare will be lost.

    Unpopular opinion, «The Lecarde Chronicles» duology is one of the bad ones, due to its level design & imbalance, and taking into account further games that the dev released on Steam, I'm not alone in this opinion, since they didn't get any better. No negativity, just frustration, and now there are a lot of much better projects that aren't overrated.
