Bros is there anything significantly different about those collections on Steam versus just emulating them? The only Castlevania game I've played was SOTN
Nothing. The only difference is that you're a moron paying a company for permission to use their shitty emulator with a bunch of ROM's and DRM.
>>737033318TL;DR not really but shamelessly copy+pasting my old effortpost on this topic:>Circle of the MoonEither emulate the GBA version or play it via Advance Collection. Both are fine. Also, do not grind cards or look up card guides on your first playthrough, just use whatever drops.The Advance Collection adds QoL which makes card grinding more convenient, but don't let this trick you. You weren't meant to grind the cards so just don't do it.>Harmony of DissonanceEither emulate the GBA version or play it via Advance Collection. Both are fine.>Aria of SorrowEither emulate the GBA version or play it via Advance Collection. Both are fine. Similar to Circle of the Moon, don't grind the souls on your first playthrough.Unlike Circle, you ARE encouraged to 100% them at some point, and it's much less work than it seems, but only do this on NG+ Hard Mode which increases their drop rates.>Dawn of SorrowEmulate the DS version with the Definitive Edition+ patch.Both the patch and the Dominus Collection address certain issues with the original game, but the patch does it better in my opinion, and it fixes some issues that the Dominus Collection doesn't address at all.>Portrait of RuinEither emulate the DS version or play it via Dominus Collection. Both are fine.Keep in mind certain extra modes are unplayable when emulating. The Dominus Collection makes them marginally more playable, but not by a whole lot.If you really care about an optional extra mode that was tacked on to the game, you can seek out a DS copy, but it's not necessary in my opinion.>Order of EcclesiaEither emulate the DS version or play it via Dominus Collection. Both are fine.
>>737033506>>Aria of Sorrow>Similar to Circle of the Moon, don't grind the souls on your first playthrough.I did this and i dropped it halfway through, because it got tedious...Doesnt the ending require you to have all souls or something?
>>737033440Do you still have your saves from when you played these games on emulator 26 years ago? No? Well you would if you had purchased them on Steam.
>>737033318Fuck Shanoa
>>737033849>Doesnt the ending require you to have all souls or something?Nah just the gaint bat,succubus,and flame demon
