Strongly recommend the Team Ladybug games if you haven’t played them yet. Deedlit’s Wonder Labyrinth is the more polished game but I had more fun with Luna Nights.

RoB isn’t a Metroidvania, it’s a classic side scrolling platformer with branching paths.
If you’re looking for a Metroidvania Vania SOTN is the perfect entry point.

It feels like any other Metroidvania on the market which was sadly the smartest call they could've made. Establishing Castlevania again by appealing to people who think Castlevania was like Hollow Knight or the Dead Cells DLC makes logical sense, especially since everybody who is REALLY a stickler about the Igavania format has Bloodstained.

I'd say Classicvania fans were underserved but we've gotten two Curse of the Moons and Haunted Castle Revisited plus there's like one solid indie Classicvania every six months or so (which isn't so bad compared to the dozens of mediocre Metroidvanias launching every year).

Doesnt fix the memetic SOULSLIKE/HK limited melee combo attack and those annoying pauses when hitting or gettin hit, plus the Troonleste spike fetish level design, but yeah the actual ost is horrid, now, how would it felt with lets say, music from Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness (to me, peak Yamane that sounds as good as SotN, because the DS games sound a bit cheap due to the soundfont limitations)

Muh boy, checkout Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 1 & 2.
>>
>>749939280
As has been said play Curse of the Moon, they're Classicvanias with CV3 character swapping without having to wait seconds to swap. Not the toppest tier but they're very good.
>>
>>749935121
Neither does Igarashi's shit, music aside (which is a big deal to be fair).

>>749939707
I haven't played the second one, but the balancing in the first one felt kind of annoying to me, like they were trying too hard to make the other characters/added powers feel significant. Not a "wrong" choice but I didn't care for it.

How? It's pretty out of the way.

>a man loses the love of his life to a monster

The lore of Castlevania could be explained in a single paragraph. 2 paragraphs if you want to go into deep detail. I also don't get why people would be upset that a MONSTER HUNTER is wary of the MONSTER taking up real estate in her head and that she wouldn't take the claim of a monster that would be over 400 years old at that point at face value. The """critiques""" against this game are outrageous.

The franchise straight up retcons everything it feels like with each new successive game, and the most offensive thing is Leon here.
>>
Calling this game Netflix is the red herring planted to steer the crowd away from the real problem of being an amalgam of Hollow Knight meme spike rooms and enclosed arena-style rooms forcing you to beat everyone, OMG TOTALLY HOT women with manjaws / broad shoulders / titpecs instead of actual tits just like in Hades 2 character portraits, and this dogshit "look at muh references" music that lost any rights to complain about the bland slop frrom Bloodstained.
losing Ayami Kojima and Michiru Yamane cursed both CV and Blooodstained to a perennial state of mediocrity, both half-games missing each other's alleged SOVL and also lacking staff who aren't part of either anymore.

The level design in Bloodlines is kind of boring in comparison most of the time, and it's not that much more difficult than IV (with Eric it's arguably easier). I agree that sub weapons were not handled well in IV, but it doesn't sink the game.

>>749940350
In fact, attributing its canon inconsistencies to Netflix is an anti-woke larper bait.
Netflix warped canon out of spite, most of it based off contempt for the church. meanwhile this game gets shit wrong out of incompetence from skimming wikis, not malice. there is no deliberate atttempt to troon out Alucard, to make Death an edgy teenage potty mouth, to create a new african chick that uses unga bunga african magic instead of crosses and holy water because church bad.
both King Louis and Joan of Arc are treated respectfully, and the corrupt bishop that became Mammon doesnt get treated as representative of the whole church, he admits his own mistakes

>>749940379
Use the downslide to avoid the third claw slash, crouch and slide to avoid him swinging on the whip, and jump or crouch if he attempts to grab you with the whip.

You can also destroy his cross throw with a sword strike or spell blast.

The game is balanced around base zangetsu and no subweapons, the other characters are there for gameplay diversity as the alternate routes are balanced around them can only be accessed by them, being able to swap between them is just a clutch to new players like you who haven't figured the game properly.

Reincarnated Japanese teen Dracula dealing with nebulous pulls toward The Dark Side and CHAOS without much meaningful moral dimension is just edgy wank and a paper thin justification for a game mechanic that only kinda-sorta calls to mind Dracula himself, even if you consider Lament of Innocence (and I try not to). It's just a weak culmination for a series so fixated on Dracula as its primary villain. They managed to make a Japanese series feel like it was held hostage by Japanese fanfic authors.

It doesn't bother me that much because none of the stories in Castlevania really matter much, but it's funny to me that the LARPing Christfags never pay attention to Aria of Sorrow when they're pearl clutching.

NTA, but he's saying that the story to Aria is stupid and not going to see an omnibus anytime soon.

>>749942350
Aria is fantastic, but Castlevania games had maybe 6 minutes of cutscenes in any given game and is elevated by pure nostalgia. I personally thought PoR had a great story and that's in spite of the series overall lore; not because of it.

I explicitly said it didn't make me mad. I just don't think it's good, even on its own terms. The game itself is well-made and my favorite of the Igavanias after Symphony, but the story is about as far as you can get from the earlier monster mash Hammer/Universal movie mood the series started with.

They literally destroyed the entire Belmont bloodline for THIS shit.

It's a different game than Igavanias. I don't know what you were all expecting.
>but the lore
Portrait of Ruin retconned that the Whip in a non-Belmont's hands will cause their wounds to never regenerate, killing John Morris and Eric Lecarde between games for the sake of drama. Lament of Innocence put a human soul into the Vampire Killer and writers have had to deal with the complication of Dracula having two wives for ages when they don't just ignore shit altogether. This lore is already fucked.
>but the gameplay
Generic as fucking shit without much taste or soul to it, but nothing offensively bad unless someone wanted the whip to be their primary weapon. Not even all that abnormal either, Igavanias are all about different weapons besides Curse and Harmony anyway.
The worst things are the soundtrack and art style, honestly.

So, it really is /pol/fags who don't give a shit about Castlevania baiting these threads. I predict we'll be able to actually discuss the game is a few weeks. This game will be called an "underrated gem" the moment it gets its first 60%+ off sale. Mark my words.

ITS A FUCKING MODERN METROIDVANIA WITH A CASTLEVANIA SKIN

IF I WANTED MODERN METROIDVANIA THATS LITERALLY ALL THAT GETS FUCKING MADE THESE DAYS
IF I WANTED A CLASSICVANIA THEN AT LEAST SOME INDIES HIT THE MARK DECENTLY ENOUGH
IF I WANTED AN IGAVANIA THEN ONLY FUCKING IGA HIMSELF STILL DOES IT WELL

ITS INARGUABLY DECENT BUT IT LOST ALL ITS SOUL AND CHARM, NEITHER A CLASSICVANIA NOR AN IGAVANIA AND WITH ALL THE DOGSHIT MUSIC TOO

I don't like it because it is not in observance with Christianity. And any Castlevania that's lacking in good faith will never be valid in my eyes.
>>
>>749943462
They're either doing this for free or they're bots. Is funny how they try to copy the lingo of this place and "blend it" but they just stick out as a sore thumb. They're hellbent on doing this shit but it really baffles me their reasoning. I guess they must be proxy defenders of Netflix castlevania or something.

almost done with the game already. been pretty fun ride, but there is this upcoming empty feeling again
>>
>>749944024
The exploration is legitimately a dopamine hit. I hope we get a sequel that expands on the ideas in this game while paying more fanservice to the older games. Something like CV4 as far as general art and pallette, but with exploration as well thought out as this. Paris was a massive filter and should have been 3 hours shorter.

i was trying to do that and it wasn't working, i'm not sure what i was doing wrong, it doesn't seem like it even has a hitbox. and if it does, it's about five frames long.

Reads like projection since /v/ is shitting so heavily on it. Any defensive opinions are probably people just playing the game and forming opinions after the meh demo.
>>
>>749944403
I'm 100% sure Konami forced the devs to early launch it in October since the switch version is so undercooked
>>
>>749944360
If it makes you feel any better, I can at least tell you this: you can always go back and then you wouldn't have to share this space with me anymore

I actually really like the puzzles and exploration. It feels SO good when you figure out what to do or where to go. Igavania doesn't really have that and if it does it's something dumb like going back to the npc you haven't visited for 5 hours to get a key item to board a train despite nothing indicating he could help you with that.
>>
>>749943826
It is, objectively, the most Christian Castlevania to date.
>>
>>749943253
By definition that wouldn't destroy the bloodline.
>>
>>749943714
You don't have to ALL CAPS RAGE post.

Belmont's Curse is a Castlevania game it's just a different flavor of Castlevania.

Symphony of the Night is just Super Metroid with RPG elements. This franchise has always been a melting pot of other ideas.
>>
>>749944535
I feel the same, I really like SotN and Bloodstained because of the exploration but in those games it's sometimes too obtuse but I still loved it.
This game actually gives you obvious hints but not too obvious to the point that it's like yellow lines
>>
>>749944535
That was fucking retarded. I was playing Bloodstained last week and gave up after 2 hours of wandering before checking a guide. On the other hand, this game can get confusing at times if you aren't good at keeping mental track of small landmarks or paying attention to the backgrounds.
>>
>>749943714
>IF I WANTED A CLASSICVANIA THEN AT LEAST SOME INDIES HIT THE MARK DECENTLY ENOUGH
I can't think of any.

good luck getting more Belmonts from that.

>>749943253
Trevor has sons with a woman who isn’t Sypha
>>
>>749943374
Is that not really good for a castlevania? How much did dominus collection and bloodstained get?
>>
>>749943826
The Belmonts literally use witchcraft and a "holy whip" made with the soul of a dead woman.

>b-but what about DS games from 20 years ago, and an unrelated game?!
>>
>>749944403

oh, it's not flying enemies, but regular enemies on ledges. that was incredibly fucking annoying to figure out

>Belmont's Curse is a Castlevania game it's just a different flavor of Castlevania.
Its a modern metroidvania

Its more similar to hollow knight than it is to any older title in the franchise

It says to kill any enemy with fall damage. Find a skeleton near a ledge and knock him off with the rock. There are some save rooms with this exact setup for you to farm.

Fuck I am a retard, I misread because medusa has the same objective, and it works on fleamans.
For the Gargoyle you can try it on skeletons that's on a ledge, there should be plenty in main hall and library.

Bloodstained peaked around 27k
LOS2 is second place around 3.5k
Dominus peaked at 1.6k

Yeah, it's a stupid question designed entirely to make you feel better by comparing it other games that are at LEAST seven years old.

Pathetic.
>>
>>749944773
I mean you guys keep saying bloodstained is the "real" casltevania so fair comparison.
>>
>>749945096
One gets to trade off the name
One has to be an actual good game
not a fair comparison
>>
>>749944707
It is a little strange, but somebody taking their mother's name isn't the weirdest thing.

I kind of preferred the idea that the Morrises were the rightful heirs (even if the quasi-connection to the Dracula novel doesn't make any sense at all), but obviously games after Bloodlines don't support that and it wasn't intended by Konami even at the time, given the EGM fax (which has a lot of details subsequent games contradict).

Dracula's room

>>749945054
Doesn't stop any of you from doing the same and Bloodstained's peak numbers has no expiration date, unless you can point to a metroidvania that has a higher peak? You're pulling a woman move.
>>
>>749945169
Actually it's more of a woman move to look for pointless comparisons just to make yourself feel better about liking a shit videogame
