what's your favorite castlevania game?

[rklone]

Mine is Aria Of Sorrow, i just like how Soma moves and the way you progress the game, it's a lot more linear and intuitive than SOTN and it has better weapons imo.

 

[Tonberry]

Rondo of Blood is my #1, I don't really think anything comes close to it for me.

Other than that one, I also like Castlevania 1, 3 and Symphony of the Night. I haven't played alot of the series from the GBA onward though.

 

[Big Finger Jim]

Tied between Aria of Sorrow and SotN.

 

[Eclipse14]

Super Castlevania IV.

 

[RageBurner]

Bloodlines (MD), Rondo of Blood (PCE CD), Symphony of the Night (PS1), and the GBA and DS trilogies (though they need improvement patches).

 

[Cu-Neo]

Mine is between Aria of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia, but If I had to choose one to play for the eternity it would be Aria of sorrow.

That theme is so good.
I also love the N64 games.

Castlevania Chronicles has the coolest set pieces, best music, two different game modes, multiple switchable soundtracks, and redhead Simon. It's an absolute crime this has never left the PS1, this should've been in the original collection given that it's a port of the X68000 game and is a remake of the original Castlevania.

SOTN and Rondo of Blood as a double feature. I didn’t grow up with the series and only played most of them for the first time last year and these two still blew me away. I’ve not completed the entire series yet but the gba and ds titles are pretty enjoyable although they’re starting to feel samey. I didn’t quite get the appeal of IV and prefer the style and fluid gameplay of Bloodlines overall, but I’ll probably be in the minority here.
Simon‘s Quest was interesting too. Very flawed and the cryptic nonsense would have made it a pain to play through without occasional help from a walkthrough but it had some fascinating ideas. I could see early traces of the SOTN formula in there.

 

[Karnik 2.0: reboot]

i like SOTN but it just lacks so much, like the bosses do not feel special and the enemies are a pain in the rear

possibly. everyone is going to like one game more than the others. circle of the moon was the first one that i saw, owned, played and beat; so it's my favorite because of that.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Portrait Of Ruin, followed closely by SOTN.
