  • Castlevania, also know as Devil's Castle Dracula Apocalypse in Japan, was met with some controversy during it's transition to 3d. However, this underrated gem is an excellent game with an equally excellent score composed by Masahiko Kimura, Motoaki Furukawa, and Mariko Egawa.

      yeah mike can go & fucking drop death for all I care, they are the ones missing such great game & they prefer worship others truly shitty games, I don't hate on james now, I know he is huge -Castlevania lover at heart, he only said that he did not like the game cos of stupid camera angles, also we all know that james is not the best 3d-mentional games . it like my self I hated him at first for ranting on my beloved -Castlevania 2 simon's Quest, but then truly naver did really hate the mighty game, he only like to make fun of it's flaws, yet again what game does not has flaws ? btw I think that you are one of subscribers right ? or you where ?

    To me, this game will always have a place close to my heart. I can honestly say that I feel as though this game's soundtrack has some of the "scariest" music. Every track just captures the mood and setting of the game so perfectly, it never ceases to really make you feel uncomfortable. It's very beautiful.

      Midis Malungahu I remember that. I always thought that was such an honorable thing to say. most protagonists are overconfident heros, but he legitamantly is scared about the trials ahead of him and what he might face. His ability to be scared but overcoming it to save the world was so cool.

  • @DamascusTest
    @DamascusTest 7 років тому +101

    Time stamps. Since i love this game and its soundtrack, like all Castlevanias...
    00:00 Intro (reused in Circle of the Moon)
    00:27 Bloodines (Richter's theme) Malus/violin version (secin Intro)
    01:45 Setting (menu screen)
    02:57 Prologue
    04:01 Shudder
    05:08 Intrusion, THIS IS CASTLEVANIA ! There exist a second version for Dracula's encounter
    05:56 Watchtower, so smooth music
    07:54 Annex - Silent Madness, legendary level !
    10:42 Hamlet People
    11:46 Rose, legendary scene
    12:58 Maze Garden, dat freaking gardener !
    14:35 Mysterious Coffin, YAY ! Bloody Tears !
    15:29 First Struggle, so good but so short
    16:34 Underground Waterway
    19:20 Underground Tunnel - Invisible Sorrow OMG why they didn't re-use it in another game ?
    24:20 Lamented Rose, so beautiful...
    25:06 Dungeon - Main Theme, nitro someone ?
    27:54 Malus Reappears. There are actually several versions of this song in the game, for encounters where is it played.
    29:12 Actrise. Did a supporting villain in any Castlevania has a so frightening theme ?
    30:09 Sypha (this is indeed not Sypha, but Carrie Fernandez is actually a descendant of Belnades clan)
    30:58 Planetarium, so lovely
    31:41 Unexpected Encounter
    32:28 Duel Tower
    34:46 Tower of Science, same as First struggle : so good, but so short...
    37:27 Tower of Execution
    39:51 Tower of Sorcery, another legendary level.
    42:03 Second Struggle (actually : Dance in Phantasmatic Hell from Rondo of Blood)
    43:21 Toothed Wheel
    45:22 Stairway to the Clouds, short music for short location, but... wow.46:41 Third Struggle - Dance of Illusions, less pumping than RoB / SotN versions, but first time we fight Dracula in 3D !
    48:18 Moment of Silence (used between Dracula's fight and bad ending)
    49:13 Castle Escape
    49:58 Fourth Struggle - Concert of Another Dimension, while music isn't that good, it is probably one of the hardest series' final boss !
    51:37 Carrie's Good Ending... so sad, yet it has a glimpse of smile.
    53:29 Bad Ending, a good music whatever the ending is the bad one.
    55:20 Schneider's Good Ending, so hearthul.
    58:05 Credits, the main theme in enhanced version is a so great track !
    1:02:27 Melodies of Castlevania (Bonus Track) : First part is just awesome ! A "sad symphonic" version of the main theme ! Its structure is used in Castlevania Judgement (mixed with Malus reappears and a very short portion of Toothed Wheel) for Cornell's theme.1:04:18 Second part of Melodies of Castlevania, this sounds a "joyful" version of Bad Ending.
    1:06:06 Invisible Sorrow (Bonus Track) , wtf dancing remix though Invisible Sorrow is hardly if not recognizable.
    1:10:58 A Night of Peace and Quiet (Bonus Track)

      No way, modern companies could never pull it off. They'd come in and try to f*** with the formula too much, make some flashy thing that looks like everything else on the market just trying to make a buck.
      Or worse yet, They'd turn it into some shoujo nightmare like they were trying to do with the later Castlevania games...

    every 3D castlevania game I played after this never really captured a atmosphere like this one.
    It felt like a survival horror game. It was scary, beautiful and mysterious at the same time, which I think 3D castlevania games should aim for. Dracula and vampires are supposed to be creepy, not like that twilight bs stuff that lords of shadows pulled tried to pull off.

    • @HarrisonTyler

    This game used to terrify me. The music played a huge role, but the imagery did too. I was raised Roman Catholic with an Orthodox paternal family and this game felt like a Christian's nightmare. It felt, and still does when I play it, like I'm roleplaying as a warrior against Hell. One's background can really have an effect on how one feels when encountering the overall atmosphere. Unadulterated work of art on so many levels but the music is really what did it. Thank you for posting this.

    The final song, A night of peace and quiet I think describes this game. It's not triumphant but rather a very solemn, introspective, and internal song. It's not the usual cv song one would expect but I think that, much like the game itself,shines in a very unique light. It still respects the past while still trying to forge a new path and while the bumps I feel are grossly exaggerated, this is still castlevania at the end of the day.

    Personal I feel this soundtrack is better for easy listening when getting work done than SOTN. I love this soundtrack and most of the tracks are based on creating atmosphere. I think SOTN has amazing tracks and probably more all together but it has such a varied musical style throughout that it is harder to listen to from beginning to end if you are writing a paper or something.
    Personally though I feel like Super castlevania 4 is my personal favorite soundtrack because it was the first castlevania game I beat and the music blew me away! :)

    My sisters and I used to take turns playing this when we were young along with Ocarina of Time. What a cool time for music in gaming, and this game is so underrated.
    I never was able to finish it, but wasted hours and hours trying to. I saved in a bad place with my health right before the final big battle and never had enough health potions, so I gave up after trying SO many times I can't even count. It was super frustrating, but completely my fault.
    But the music... ugh the music is brilliant and eerie, and I wish people could get over the silly things and actually play with the story.

    Tower of Sorcery was always my favorite soundtrack though it does sound like it came out of Final Fantasy 7

    Best CV games in terms of atmosphere by far (Including Legacy of course). And cinematic appeal as well. I also loved the vampire depiction, from the mystery of Rosa and Malus to the bestial nature of the lessers, and others like Gilles de Rais and so on. They each have a class and a nature to them that sort of covers the levels of "thirst" in some vampire depictions, where the more deprived of blood they are the more animalistic they look and act - and the higher level ones were pretty unique, like Rosa being good, and the Malus reveal just showing Drac's sort of bored/curious nature, and so on.
    I also don't mind clunkiness if it's done right (which...this game wasn't perfect but a remade one could be). Thing with a _certain_ clunkiness like Monster Hunter and/or Dark Souls is that encounters tend to be more rewarding, because you have to treat them with a lot more care - I don't mind the hack-n-slash alternative but it does get a bit repetitive after a while when some button mashes clears room after room without much emphasis on timing and positioning and things like that, and I don't know, I'm just kind of over it.
    I don't even recall the camera bothering me as much as others seemed to be affected by it. The only issues I had with the game was how damn hard the Nitro section was, and how stupid the Motorcycle Skeleton was as an enemy design (literally the design, it's just stupid). Other than that I wish the series would return to this level of atmosphere and cinematography. And no, the Lords of Shadow duology(ish) pacing and dialogue was just... I don't know, maybe just me but it felt like adolescence trying very hard to be serious, so they were both pretty cringy games for me unfortunately, and the combat again, just wasn't fun to me after a while. I think the only game with hack-n-slash combat that really impressed me was Darksiders 2 (I haven't played 3 yet), because dodge timing and the like was absolutely paramount in it, especially for the challenge fights - and one other game is, surprisingly, Kingdom Hearts, especially 2 (haven't played the followups). The rest, from most of the DMC games to GoW, were just too button spammy for me outside of the bosses to maintain fun for long. The Lords of Shadows games looked fantastic though and did have some good cinematography.

    I have so many good memories of this game... I remember watching my Father in his own playthrough with Reinhardt (on Hard I believe), he made it to the Reaper boss near the end and then he didnt have more time (went to Metroid Prime later). Also remember watching my Aunt's playtrough with Carrie (she beat the game even before me). Ah... good, much simpler times. The soundtrack is amazing as well.

    This is still my favorite Castlevania. It had mood and atmosphere, especially the music. Although it was clunkily executed, it did have a 4 part story and all the characters are likable with clear motive and story arcs. For the generation it went above and beyond other 3D platformers in terms of storytelling (Visual and audio). It has a special place in my heart and I always yearned for more lore on Carrie and Schneider (and Rosa).

    This game is soo good, on the first hand the story and the sound were mysterious and very emotionally, on the other hand the playability was good enough in that time for a 3D transition game. Playing this was like playing a different kind of Castlevania 3, so rustic but gooood. To me, this game had better story and was more funny than Lament of Innocence.

    They need to release an HD Remaster where this and Legacy are combined. Take the best of both and combine it.
    If budget allows ad what was cut due to hardware limitations.

      Though this game has flaws, one thing that shines through Castlevania 64 and legacy of darkness is tone. Both games have this creepier haunting feeling, that always makes you feel on edge. From the grim lighting to the music and even the jump scares they throw at you in this game. That's something that not even the Lords of Shadow series could even bring in both it's games. Clunky controls aside in these two Castlevania games, Konami really had something going here. They just didn't have enough time to refine it.
