"It seems easy to fault franchises with fundamentally similar entries for being repetitive. Innovation is certainly important, and as many series have demonstrated (the Tony Hawk series is a notable example), modest annual updates can certainly begin to wear thin their welcome. On the other hand, Nintendo, for example, has clearly demonstrated an ability to develop extraordinarily similar yet extremely enjoyable games time and time again with their keystone franchises. Although they have taken some criticism for this similarity, and even as innovative strides have recently been made with titles like Super Mario Galaxy, it bears some thought as to just what it is about their particular approach that allows them to be successful in this way."
Castlevania’s twilight years were some of its best, but they were not enough to avert the dramatic end of the series as we knew and loved it.
Someone should fire to the lowest pit the guy on Konami that thought mobile gaming was the future and destroyed MGS, Castlevania and other franchises in the way.
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are among some of the best Koji Igarashi titles that fans can play while they wait for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to release on June 18.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Steam reviews are very positive 9/10. I'm going to buy it for Switch though. I want to also play on the go, and at work :D
Damn didnt know Bloodstained just released. Will get it on switch
Yeah I'm REALLY loving what little I've played of it so far and this is coming from someone who hasn't been too impressed with what has been shown of the game, guess metroidvania plays better than they look.
Few game series are as definitive and beloved as Castlevania. Pitting players against Dracula and his unholy forces time and again, it is a staple of the medium of gaming and continues to live on in some way, shape or form after decades of releases. Some entries have been better than others though, so today we've got all 30 ranked from worst to best.
