castlevania bros get the fuck in heregrimoire of souls recomp is outhttps://github.com/BLSNCVS/Castlevania-Grimoire-of-Souls-Recomphopefully someone does harmony of despair next and adds online functionality, although there is a slim chance konami does it themselves at some point
>>751124952Isn't this a phone game?
>>751124952>hopefully someone does harmony of despair nexthttps://github.com/Wrexxial/HarmonyRecomp haven't tried it but someone is working on it.>>751125498It was a mobile game that had an offline version released exclusively on Apple Arcade after EoS, so most people couldn't easily play it. I've got no clue where to pirate Mac games, though.
>>751124952What's the gimmick for this game? Never heard of it.
>>751126043I read it's closer to classicvania, takes place after the DS games, features temporary clones of classic characters brought back to life. Also Dracula gets cloned in it but isn't temporary even after dying so he can return again. Not sure if they will consider it canon or not.
>>751124952Mmmm...sloppa. Thanks Claude~ :3
>>751124952Call me when we have harmony of despair recomp with functioning multi-player.
>>751125671>>751128520It says the online works. Anyone want to test it out together? I've only tested the single player stuff.
>>751124952these retards really need to stop titling the recomp the exact same title as the game, its an easy way for the company to send a C&Dalso anyone have the ROM?
Already played it and it sucks.
>>751129674Downloading it now. Will let you know when I get it online.
>>751129735https://archive.org/details/castlevania-grimoire-of-souls-v-1-4-2
>>751130027thank you bro
But there was already a rebuilt working version of Harmony of Despair with working online literal years ago./v/ played it for 2-3 months straight even.
>>751128520That'll also be aisloppa
>>751130124The unity port was pretty bad and emulating it had barely working online.
>>751130159Something is better than nothing.
>>751128029Thanks. Unfortunately, I prefer metroidvanias over classicvania.
>>751130735>metroidvanias over classicvaniaoof quite unfortunate indeed. Couldn't be me.
>>751129735Moblie games are not ROMs.
>>751128520You can already do that with RPCS3.
>>751131240>emulation >in the year of our lord 2000 + 26that's a big yikes from me, famalam.
>>751131240>PS3Aside from the already mentioned online issues, one of Maria's attack is bugged and doesn't do holy damage like it's supposed to.
>>751130124That shit was half assed. We only played it because it was our only choice
HD recomp needs to happen so that we can mod in all of TMNT and the entire map in
Best way to play Lord of Shadows right now?
call me when we unfuck aria of sorrow and dawn of sorrow so they're not shit
>>751124952>MMXDiVE but for Castlevania aka despite the removal of gacha the grind is still so baked in it takes longer to beat it than several of the games it has fanservice forI mean maybe I'll see how it controls but I'd be excited if there's a proper port for Harmony of Despair or the light-whip arcade game.
>>751132619All three are on Steam, so either there or wherever you pirate PC games. I've been playing Mirror of Fate on my 3DS and it's pretty solid.
>>751132863Oh! For some reason I thought it was PS3 only. I might have somehow mixed that up with Dante's Inferno though both are pretty similar games from what I understand.
I remembered playing it back when it was a Gacha. Don't know if my faulty memory is completely correct tho>Game is set in a specified amount of time after Dawn of Sorrow >There's a magic book artifact recorded the heroic history of humanity fight against Dracula >Because Soma refused to be the Dark lord, Death has to figure out a way to get Dracula back>By tampering with events in the book (instead of winning, heroes got defeated by certain bosses, instead of good end Soma, it's bad end Soma etc) Death can affect real world somehow >It ultimately culminated in Death falsifying an alternate timeline where Soma succumbed to the bad ending and become a Dark Lord>Alucard and summoned historical figure wake him up>Through enough altering of alternate event in the book, Death managed to create a fictional Dracula from the fanfiction timeline he has written where all the Belmonts were beaten etc>The fictional Dracula has the same memories as the one from real life and Death decided it's good enough >The fictional Dracula got defeated by the hero and Alucard but he can start the normal Dracula resurrection cycle again because he is a real being in the world now
>>751129984Multiplayer doesn't work. It says need to login to xbox live.
>>751133245Did you enable online co-op and set up a name through F6?
>>751133371No will try that but the whole game is kinda laggy for me.
>>751133506>If the game runs at 30 FPS or stutters, check that no frame rate limit is set for it in the NVIDIA Control Panel ("Max Frame Rate") or similar driver tools: together with G-SYNC such a limit can halve the game's frame rate. Use the frame rate limit in the F6 menu instead.I had no issues but maybe this will help.
>>751133061LoS1 and Dante's Inferno both use a Light & Dark magic system so that's understandable.
>>751133189I didn't play it myself, is it true that it implies Chronicles is an embellished legend told of Simon's fight with Dracula by later generations which explains the extra stages and Simon's design?
>>751124952it says you need an original copy of the game for it to run. where can i find a copy of the game?
>>751134387Archive but be wary is very very super to download from and it's also not owned by the government
>>751133871It's true, Saw a picture of it, Chronicle Simon is a skin and this is it's description.
An interesting fact you might like about this game : There wasn't a Castlevania team really available for it, so almost the entire game was instead developed by people from the original Kojimbo Production who remained there without a Metal Gear in development yet. They were not able to work on Metal Gear again at the time so they did this as a way to try reviving Castlevania.Since they are back on Metal Gear, they probably will not return.It's why the game as several Easter egg to games made by that studio.
>>751124952Just tried it. Base gameplay is fun enough. But the whole>earn gems and combine parchments and upgrade skills and unlock whatever other currency and get the daily login bonus to combine whatever to earn a reward...it's too much. Too much going on in the menus too. A bit overwhelming. I'm gonna try to understand all this stuff later on.>>751134387read the thread:>>751130027the torrent option was the fastest download for me.
>>751134431be wary of what exactly?
>>751124952Probably a very stupid question but what's the point of this as opposed to just playing the way we could always play before
>>751134684That's really cool. A lot of the lore seemed like they stuff they had on hand from the IGA games but the MG easter eggs make more sense this way.
where do i get the game ? post link plz
>>751136301read the thread you retard

>>751124952But like, is it good?
>>751134980I'm not sure I follow. This game was locked to Apple Arcade before and was delisted(?). So it was unplayable for a majority till recently.
>>751136482here>>751134686>>751130027>>751136427
I played the Apple Arcade version of it and enjoyed it. I don't know why it needed to be shut down. It's not like it had a multiplayer mode anymore and they couls have just automated the event systems.The Mega Man X Dive comparison someone made earlier is accurate, but I say this plays better and has more interesting dialogue and interactions. In Dive, it's just a bunch of OCs interacting with the player and you're just playing copies of the X cast. Nothing cool actually happens. GoS, while being memories from a book, everyone still very much is the same characters. It's fun seeing Simon interact with the later cast and being a humble chad who looks out for the ladies and makes Jonathan be his training partner. The biggest downside is that everything is designed around the gacha prison. Can't proceed unless you do your chores to make the numbers go up and all that junk. The level layouts are solid, controls are fine, although they can be a little stiff. Good enemy variety and placements though. It's a fun enough action platformer with a ton of easter eggs and callbacks sprinkled around. A proper offline release stripping the gacha wall structure would be nice but I can see why they'll never bother with it. Wish I could have tried it with multiplayer though.
>boots up game>runs forward>it auto attackswhat did I even expect from mobile niggery.
>>751124952>grimoire of soulsNo thanks, it looks like shit.
how much do I need to play to unlock the bitches? alucard is gay nowadays...
>>751137990Quite a bit. You don't unlock Charlotte until Chapter 1 stage 3. Shanoa unlocks in Chapter 2 and Maria in Chapter 4.
>>751138409fuuuuuuuuuuck
I'll wait until I beat Portrait of Ruin since you get Charlotte early on. PoR is fantastic though, S-tier Igavania for sure. It and Aria are the only ones that have really been on the level of the Classics to me.
welp I unlocked loli maria, game's pretty good now.
>>751137850What the fuck? That's gay
>>751137850>>751140828Just disable it
So, since the game was mobileslop (yeah yeah it released on Apple Arcade where ACKSHUALLY legit games are), how does it compare to real, normal games in the series? Ofc I can just download it and play it myself but why bother when anons have done that for me already?
>>751141246Ignoring the gacha walls, its a linear action platformer structured more like a classic Castlevania than a metroidvania. Every stage is a unique layout and eaxh chapter ends with a boss fight. Stages are short and simple at first but later stages get longer and more complex with platforming and hazards. Every stage has bonus objectives and some have minor alt routes with hidden secrets or tougher enemy encounters. Every character plays differently with their own movement options. Shanoa is the best.
>>751136602Oh, it's mobile slop. Nevermind then.
>>751141016Oh.
>>751141792>Shanoa is the bestOkay, I trust you.
>>751141792Which parts of it are auto like a typical phone game? Are there shit like dailies or gems or whatever?
>>751131182Touch grass
>>751141246>>751141792>its a linear action platformer structured more like a classic Castlevania than a metroidvania.As far as level design it appears to be so. But combat from the little I just played, even with Simon, is more like the metroidvanias than the classicvanias.
>@BLSNCVS's activity is privateI'm not up to speed on vetting this shit with how fast it's being pumped out by randos. How do you know what to trust?
>>751146627>How do you knowI don't. They're vibecoding, I'm vibetrusting
>>751146627>by randossays the rando himself
>>751141016what demons and other evil undead creatures see moments before their asses are stuffed with pidgeons
>>751146627you could just say that you have to click on a bat file instead of a exe to run it and i bet more than half of the thread's population will stop their tracks
>>751147014untrue nigger there's a GOS.exe and the game runs just fine from there.
she's crazy in this game now to unlock THE Shanoa
>>751124952You could play harmony of despair on PC with online right now
Too busy playing cotm but cool anyways whatever it is
>>751129674multiplayer was removed from the apple arcade version iirc
>>751128520Why not just use RPCS3?
>>751124952Simon's walk looks really jaunty in this, got a strut to it.
>>751149827they are talking about harmony of despair, that other ps360 game with online coop
>>751144957The auto stuff is spending tokens to auto clear levels you've already beaten. There's also stuff like sending character out for hours for more materials but it doesn't lock you out from using them in stages. Yeah, there are dailies and gems. Dailies are your typical use character X times or beat y stage/event. The grind later on becomes rough so you will end up doing them. There are also challenge modes/stages you can do a limited amount of times. An enemy rush, stage rush and elevator style gauntlet. >>751145047That's why I specifically mentioned level layout. Every character plays differently from movement options to abilities, and even the character itself can be customized further to have different moves and movement options. That definitely leans closer to a metroidvania but I don't feel like going down that rabbit whole. For the most part, every character takes after their source game but they're either scaled up/down to fit this game (Simon gets new moves, Alucard obviously loses some)
>>751149998I walk like that
>>751150470oh oops, i speedread those posts my bad
>>751148704Charlotte is definitely the best character to use in the stage rush challenges in the tower gauntlet mode just because of her ability to fly and heal between stages. I would definitely dump points into her for traversal and Shanoa for combat.
>>751149891Because it's inconvenient

>>751124952doenst work for me. i put the rom into the setup as told but when i try to run the actual game the window says an error occurted trying to play the video. anybody got an solution
>>751152306>showing off her backHoly shit
>>751153405video codec issue maybe?
>>751153405make a new folder and do it over. you put it in the proper dat file yah?
>>751124952damn castlevania bros eating good lately
>>751153405It's vibecoded, so you need to fight vibe with vibe. Ask chatgpt to fix it.
>>751153405His Harmony of Despair recomp says to put it in a directory with a short path, that may also be fucking something up in the Grimoire of Souls one if you have it on your desktop or something.
>>751152306For me? It's the sexy mummy costume
GO GO GO status?
>>751156537I could fix her...
About to finish the first chapter and my consensus is that the game feels great specifically when you're using Simon with the uppercut. Otherwise, it's okay. Charlotte is clearly good but feels kinda shit to play but maybe that's because I'm coming right off of PoR where she's fun as fuck. I'm filing this under "flawed core but there's some cool shit here" next to Mirror of Fate and Circle of the Moon.
>>751141016she doesn't need to sway erotically like that
Are you like me /v/, and can't get interested in a game solely because it's iOS or Android, but might be able to play it if it was on PC?
>>751142047its preety fun actually. i had the same reservations. plus i can play it on my regular laptop
>>751162668I'm not interested in anything on iOS (or Apple Arcade) because I do not own an Apple device.Android is cool ever since I got a tablet for when I'm in bed, but before that probably.
>>751162668I hate playing games on my phone besides maybe solitaire.
>>751131240Yet another recomp thread where I'm wondering "why the fuck is everybody pretending this is new, I was doing this in an emulator years ago"
GO GO GO
>>751163647anything past gba is just garbage to config.
>>751163857Recomps are *more* complicated to fucking set up on average
who would you mod in?
Shanoa's combo game is fucking crazy, if you have that launcher, the arrow, and the gun you basically do Off-brand Bayonetta shit.
>>751163647Because on average the performance depending on the game goes from double to quintuple what it is on emulators.Also decomp'd game files means easier mods, to the point you can LITERALLY tell the AIslop what mod you want and how you want it and it will do it.
>>751164859>Because on average the performanceMy brother in Christ these are Grimoire of Souls and Harmony of Despair, performance is not a concern for these games
>>751164986Optimization is optimization.Not caring about things because hardware can just brute force it is how westoid AAA gaming became such dogshit.
>>751164618Julius as the "fuck all this gacha nonsense" character whose base gear doesn't change and is always scaled so you're a little overleveled for the stage you're on.
Where does the new Belmont's curse belong in the timeline? After 3 but before castlevania the adventure?
>>751169296It's Trevor's alive so it can't be too far beyond 3. Probably after Curse of Darkness as well since Trevor's not greying in that game.
>>751169360yeah the events of cod are mentioned
>>751164618The N64 characters
>>751169360>>751169637but what is the implication of Dracula's curse being destroyed in the new game? It has been established that his curse is basically the embodiment of the sins of humanity and can never be vanquished till evil in the hearts of men exists.
>>75116929623 years after Curse of Darkness
I want at least one more game set in the 20th Century, the 55 years between Portrait and The War of '99.

>>751164618Mad all the temporary characters into fully playable characters. Was upset when I found out Richter was put in the bench.
>>751124952Holy shit man, I'd just about given up on the idea of ever being able to play this.
>>751141246>>751141792How do the in-game currency and gachaslop elements work in this recomp?Do you just get infinite amounts of everything? I would hope so.
>>751178762it's a recomp of the apple arcade version, which just stripped out the microtransactions but left everything else intact. you could probably just CE it though

>>751146627You wait two weeks for everyone else to run it first by which time the antivirus databases will have been updated.
I see a lot of people complaining about this AI vibecoded stuff, but I have had zero problems with any of the ones I have played so far. Not a single crash or hitch or loss of save files.I'm starting to think it might just be anti-AI freaks trying to poison the well.

>>751187546dead game
I'm about halfway through the Inverted Castle in SotN and was wondering what /v/irgins think would be the best game to play after it. I really like the RPG elements SotN has, if that matters (I cheesed a few extra levels with the jewel knuckel exploit on the spiked ball on the giant staircase). Alucard is cool.
>>751188559probably Aria of Sorrow, then Dawn of Sorrow, the Portrait of Ruin, the Order of Ecclesia.Then go back and play the other GBA ones if you're not done. Also bloodstained.
>>751188559Just play all of them in release order, you faggot. So sick of this plebbitor "which games should I pick and choose guys, I can't think for myself aiiiiieeeee" bullshit
>>751187546we do not speak about dead cellsvania in these threads.only good games.
>>751189980Doesn't look like there's much speaking at all, which was my point.
Actually whats the general consensus about Belmonts Curse here? I played the game non stop and didnt engage with opinions or reviews to not get influenced.
>>751191270It's not good. It relies too much on traps during platforming which is quite unlike castlevania.
>>751191270I thought the demo was shit so I didn't buy it
>>751185083>recomps of fangamesthe fuck you talking about? CoD, HoD and GoS are not fangames?
>>751183519I don't trust code that isn't vetted and that isn't going to happen with slop recomps when even the guys releasing them don't know what's in there.
>>751191985Anything made by the hack Iga is a fan game.
>>751192601then vet it. It's all there
>>751188559you had to cheese an easy game like sotn? maybe go back to minecraft, bitch
>>751193087don't pretend you don't spend an hour killing schmoo anon
>>751191270Generic indie metroidvania larping (badly may I add) as a Castlevania.
>>751191270Low enemy variety. Too much platforming for a Castlevania game. No fun extras like character unlocks and extra modes. Garbage soundtrack. No contact damage means you can just run past most enemies. Overall mediocre.
>>751183815>a developer and artist puts his heart and soul into a game , AI has no soul because it is alienbased technology and cannotWhy would it need a soul? It's job is just to put thing into other thing. I don't need a soul, I need a Q&A Tester
>>751193087I used the Shield Rod and Alucard Shield to cheese Galamoth, too.
>>751188559Harmony of Dissonance is basically just an attempt to try SotN again on the GBA's limitations with a Belmont instead of Alucard. It's a good game but skipping it will make Aria and the DS games overshadow it in ambition. I think the combat is better in HoD than SotN but it obviously looks and sounds way worse.
>>751188559Im playing with Rithcer. Do i get to spend the money somewhere?
>>751198041No, and if youre going to keep playing the rest of the games, get used to it, the second run is simpler and more straightforward than the first one.
>>751198331This. It's basically a victory lap, with a few more interesting mechanics. Unless you're playing SOTN and really NEED to have the absolute best gear, I guess.
>>751198421Come to think about it only HoD has a second run mode that I didnt like, and thats just because theres no progression and HoD has a terrible castle, even PoR, the other game I didnt finish a second run in has it better because at least that games levels are actually fun.
>>751198421>Unless you're playing SOTN and really NEED to have the absolute best gearIs that for Alucard?. The only "upgrade" i have got with Ritcher are items like the axe, bible, etc.
>>751198757PoR has the best second runs though.>Obligatory DS controls characters instead of forcing them into the main game like Dawn, and they're wildly different gameplay-wise>Richter & Maria mode which fits for a number of reasons>Based Old Axe Armor mode that they actually built around finishing with just the Armor (which also canonizes that it's female)
>>751199102For Alucard, yeah. The only way to get the best ring is to play on a memory card that has already cleared the game. But most people don't need to worry about that. Richter is too good for equipment, all he needs is his whip
>>751199176I dont know, maybe its because the main game is already so full of content I ended up satisfied with it when I finished it, but I didnt feel the need to go for a second run with the rest of the characters.
>>751191270I thought the demo was OK but it didn't wow me enough to buy the game on release, I'll be getting it on sale.
>>751201338Same thought
