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.
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.
I got stuck in the castle portion of Lecarde 2 and had to take a break from it. I definitely want to go back and play it again but actually complete it this time. Such a well-made game.
OH COOL you featured my remake of simons quest Simons Curse. In honor of that I'm going to release a new version of it today. Also feel free to leave feedback in how to make it better. Thanks, this means a lot to me!
@@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.
Thanks for including our game HooperVania in this, glad to see it in such good company! There are several games in this list I have been following and several I meant to play for quite some time now!
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.
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 .
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.
Konami is not as big as the rest of the gaming companies, but they are still widely known around the world. Still much respect to them for not shutting down Fan games.
I recommend you two more games: Vampire Blaze and Return of Egypt, two of the greatest Castlevania fangames ever! also, "Seal of the Curse" if you don't mind the heavy goth style :3
That one in unreal looked great, well all of them did, but make a better whip animation and it would be badass, it kinda looks like he is slapping at a bug or something. Draculas curse 2020 was very well done, and seems all the music is great
I loved Dracula’s Curse 2020 so much…. Was looking for fan remakes of the first and seconds games as well. Gonna use this. It’ll be like Castlevania All-Stars.
Finished Lecarde Chronicles 2 about a week ago. Absolutely amazing, both the game and the soundtrack, despite being fan made. The quality is very good. I'd love to play another installment! Castlevania ReVamped less so - feels like a racing game. 😅
Fantastic video! I saw some games I haven't played or seen yet! Thank you! That Vampire Killer Resurrection game looks interesting. I thought an updated version of the original MSX game would be good.
Bro you must to try Ponyvania Order of Equestria. For me is one of the best fan games of Castlevania. It had Ponies, yes, but still my favorite fan game
So where the hell do we download these games? cause I did some digging and downloading and can't get to start a single one of them because of errors / bugs in the program or whatever... does anyone have an actual list of reliable downloads of some of the games from this video? let me know, thanks.
10:18 I noticed this game has a link on internet archive in desc im somewhat worried about the legality of downloading the game. Idk I just lack info and can’t realy find any answers to this with a google search it looks intresting
Sad how the few great ones are STILL not finished and it's been over five years (8 for one) like Simon's Curse and The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest which again - 8 years and still supposedly only 60% completed. 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.
I think that must have released after this video was made. Warmachine is making great progress on remaking Castlevania Adventure next. Looking forward to that one.

I feel like you can fit a few more serios into that sentence.
@@Elijah_Morning_Wood Are u serios bro' ?
why did he stop?
How i wish they add gabriel belmont dracula in serios
@@minkenpark7389 There may be plans for that.
The bonus game is a Doom WAD called Castlevania Simon's Destiny.

Truth!
The fact it's got two of the final boss'es of super castlevania four in it is awesome slagothra and Gaibon
I got stuck in the castle portion of Lecarde 2 and had to take a break from it. I definitely want to go back and play it again but actually complete it this time. Such a well-made game.
I think Soul of Dracula is the best one
@@timrosswood4259 Soul of Dracula is good too, but I still stick with Lecarde.
OH COOL you featured my remake of simons quest Simons Curse. In honor of that I'm going to release a new version of it today. Also feel free to leave feedback in how to make it better. Thanks, this means a lot to me!
I'm at a loss for words 😊
It looks great. Is it a full game? If not, do you have a general time frame for it?

Those are 2 of the best Castlevania games I’ve ever played. TLC2 is extremely hard though and can be frustrating at times, so be prepared!

Simon's Destiny makes me realize how badly I would kill for a Symphony of the Night conversion in GZDoom
Thanks for sharing this documented and easy to get compilation. Best regards from Mexico City!
The Lecarde Chronicles 2 is the absolute best.
I kinda respect Konami for being so chill about these
Konami is not as big as the rest of the gaming companies, but they are still widely known around the world. Still much respect to them for not shutting down Fan games.
I love how the only game on the list that isn't playing like a Belmont is Touhouvania 2. Nothing against it in the slightest. The game rocks
I was hoping to see "The soul of Dracula" Obviously inspired by the Castlevania saga but as a super improved version of Haunted Castle
Koumajou Densetsu 2 was originally released on 30 December 2010
and its a game based on Touhou not Castlevania.
@@crust5909
Obviously, it’s a Touhou fangame in the style of Classicvania
With the release of Castlevania ReVamped we need to add it in one of these spots
Man, Ive been playing soulslikes for so long Ive forgotten that better games like this exist!
Lecarde Chronicles, such an epic pair of games
Truth, indeed.
My Question is why is the lecarde's related too the belmont or not????????????????????????????
I recommend you two more games: Vampire Blaze and Return of Egypt, two of the greatest Castlevania fangames ever!
also, "Seal of the Curse" if you don't mind the heavy goth style :3
Return of Egyp, a hidden gem!
As well as Return of Egypt's "sequel", Pharaoh Rebirth+. 🐰
@@Holothurion Vampire Blaze's ost is excellent"
@@guiguisuperG Totally agreed. 🙂👍🏻
@@Holothurion I put all the ost in my channel ua-cam.com/video/Pt6qr4HghKU/v-deo.html
Koumajou densetsu (or Touhou castlevania) is such a GOATED GAME!!!!!, thank you for mentioning it
That one in unreal looked great, well all of them did, but make a better whip animation and it would be badass, it kinda looks like he is slapping at a bug or something. Draculas curse 2020 was very well done, and seems all the music is great

7:11 Cocoricooo!
I loved Dracula’s Curse 2020 so much…. Was looking for fan remakes of the first and seconds games as well. Gonna use this.
It’ll be like Castlevania All-Stars.
Thanks for making this video going to have to try some of these.
10:54 IS THAT ALICE MOTHER EFFING MARGATROID!? This is so peak I have to play this.
excellent video,ewxactly what was i looking for!
I'm presently playing Dead Cells to get my Castlevania fix, and let me tell you guys...... It's GREAT!!..... Anyways, kudos on this video, salute!!👍🇹🇹
Finished Lecarde Chronicles 2 about a week ago. Absolutely amazing, both the game and the soundtrack, despite being fan made. The quality is very good. I'd love to play another installment!
Castlevania ReVamped less so - feels like a racing game. 😅
Konami must have been high when they said that gamers weren't interested in Castlevania anymore.
Thanks! Downloaded a few LOL
Seeing the miniature Casual, And then komajou densetsu, wau
Lecarde Chronicles 1 + 2 are my all time favorite Fan made Castlevania games right next to Arkhouse's The Seal of the Curse X.
11:08 THIS IS JUST A WHOLE TOUHOU GAME!? They combined two things I like very much.
Fantastic video! I saw some games I haven't played or seen yet! Thank you! That Vampire Killer Resurrection game looks interesting. I thought an updated version of the original MSX game would be good.
@FATALVISION
Bro you must to try Ponyvania Order of Equestria. For me is one of the best fan games of Castlevania. It had Ponies, yes, but still my favorite fan game
Lecarde Chronicles 2 is Epic games to best soundtrack and got full game.
Efrain Lecarde & Alucard Tepes
0:00 Which version of Beginning is this one that plays at the beginning of the video???
For what platform(s) are they? Are they ROMs for emulators of classic systems or PC games? Nice video!
Yeah would be cool if they added what you can play it on
Poor Dracula's Shadow gets no love... probably because of how much of a PITA it is to emulate.
Koumaju Densetsu isn't really a Castlevania fan game, it's an inspired style game in the Touhou universe.
Top demais mano parabéns
The Unreal one has potential because 2.5D Castlevania seems cool
Needs a lot of work though
I hope to be as talented as these people. I’m currently in college for game development.
Thank You Castlevania Fans.
10:21 Wow Bloodstained before Bloodstained.
The bonus game is a doom mod
I recommend one more game: SOUL OF DRACULA, very Taito 1980
If the game are remake to first to last or something I’ll play that all
The attack delay on the unreal Castlevania remake absolutely pissed me off so much I ended up getting rid of it
So where the hell do we download these games? cause I did some digging and downloading and can't get to start a single one of them because of errors / bugs in the program or whatever... does anyone have an actual list of reliable downloads of some of the games from this video? let me know, thanks.

That almost Ayako Kojima style Sakuya hehe
tell me which castlevania project made it to steam?
where's that beginning coming from?
Me atrapaste este top es cine
how is called the art style of lecarde chronicles?
Personally, I recommend Yume Nikki Gensou for its unexpectedness.
Sad how the few great ones are STILL not finished and it's been over five years (8 for one) like Simon's Curse and The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest which again - 8 years and still supposedly only 60% completed.

Castlevania resurrection Dreamcast
These games all look brilliant!!!!! Please add me and lets start a campaign to bring the franchise back to it's roots. It's time.
Where's Curse of the Moon?
Castlevania 2: Rebitten is an awesome concept game as well. It takes the mechanics of CV 1 and implements into the CV 2 setting.
Where's chronicles generation games?

Castlevania The Lecarde Chronicles 1 is amazing, but the second part wooooooooooooooooo, 10/10
Where's Soul Of Dracula?
Definitely should have made it to the list.
how can we play these games?
Download and install if required, pretty easy.
Someday Esco will finish SOTN Hacked... someday Esco will finish SOTN Hacked... I just gotta keep telling myself...
10:18 That one's a Touhou fangame in the style of Castlevania
Too bad the Unreal one gave Simon such an odd gait.
That touhou game shouldn't be on the list it's in the listing of Metroidvania yes but has nothing to do with castlevania or hunting Dracula
You missed The new Castlevania Chronicles 3 by BMC Warmachine. The same developer that made Castlevania chronicles 2.
I think that must have released after this video was made.
Warmachine is making great progress on remaking Castlevania Adventure next. Looking forward to that one.
Really not a fan of the Unreal remake. Looks very much like... an Unreal remake.
10:33 Why Soma is tomboy?)
Disliked, don't leave a title for the comments when the top comment isn't even going to be revealing the title
doomvania!
YOS
Doomvania lol
Hate to say it but I'm pretty sure my Castlevania fan game would be leaps and bounds better than most of these. Serios is cool though.
Koumajou Densetsu es un juego de Touhou project, no un fan game de Castlevania
Koumajou Densetsu is a Castlevania fangame with Touhou characters
So sad can't use cheats
Stra, stra, stra Straight Trash ash… ash….. ash!
