>>12911585i have castlevania fatigue. Dont you niggas play any other games? I beat these like 15 years ago
>>12911585someone should make a hack that adds all the enemies and bosses from the inverted castle to the regular castle. Then you really don't need to do the inverted castle at all.
thanks bruv now i dont need to play it
>>12911585Why would a bunch of demonic monsters suddenly switch loyalty to a good guy just because Drac died for the 40th time? The original story is better, this fanfic sucks.
>>12911765>Why would demons serve someone who killed their master?Do you even demon, bro?
>complaining about SotNyaaaawn
>>12911585The whole game is about Alucard opposing Dracula and his blood even if he's a vampire. It would make the plot much less interesting.
Inverted Castle is actually great because it's completely open ended and you already have all of your upgrades so you can go wherever you want and do things in any order. It solves the issue a lot of SotN clones that came after had which is by the time you've unlocked all of your abilities, these games are basically over and you have nowhere to use them in
>>12911587Belmont's Curse just came out, so people will be shitposting about Castlevania for a while, whether you like it or not.
>>12913334>Inverted Castle is actually greatNo, the game literally wasn't designed with walking on ceilings in mind, so you need to spam super jump/bat form every 5 steps which is annoying af. It's clearly just something they added very late in development to pad out the game.
>>12913367Isnt that game fucking terrible? Looks like total western indie troonslop by people who think Hades is cool
>>12913392No, it's well liked, even on 4chan.
>>12913417lmao no. Every /v/ thread I saw said it sucks, and the streamers I watch say its ok and didnt finish it
>>12911587Belmont's Curse like the other anon said, but also Halloween month and the SOTN Ultimate release all made Castlevania topical.>>12913392I played the demo and it's an ok game. The kind of thing you wait for a deep discount to buy and even then it's not your priority, but it's not bad.
>>12913392>Isnt that game fucking terribleYes.You can safely assume anyone heaping loads of praise on it is a shill.- Lackluster enemy variety- Obnoxious Super Meat Boy style platforming- Music is 90% utter garbage- Excessive Screen Shake- No sub weapons- Removing Christian elements (Crosses, Holy Water), replaced with occult shit instead.- Art style is OK. Some hate it, some love it. I think it's OK but the depiction of the monsters in particular is severely lacking and soulless. Castlevania is known for having great visual designs for the enemies and BC does NOT deliver.Basic mechanics and metroidvania elements are "fine" but who the fuck needs yet another generic "fine" Metroidvania in 2026?
>>12913571Having bad music and okayish art style in a Castlevania is criminal-tier.
>>12913571You forgot:>no enemy collision, feel free to walk past most enemies>no unlocks or alternate fun stuff like luck mode, Richter/Julius mode, etc
>>12913392>>12913571There should be a male Belmont protagonist instead of Rose.
>>12911585Super SOTNhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZbrsOnN2bk
>>12913609Seriously, why even fucking bother making a Castlevania game if you're going to phone in the music and enemy designs?
>>12913881Jesus fucking christ this image is brutal
>>12913386I find it mildly annoying at times but don't think it's that bad. I think it's an interesting difficulty spike in the sense of being complex/difficult enemies but you also have a shitload of abilities to employ against them. The thing about the inverted castle is that I'd say it's there's somewhat less need for backtracking. You just start plowing through the content and collecting body parts until you unlock the final boss. So the fact that you're walking on ceilings isn't such a big deal because you're not usually trying to speed through.>>12913334Completely agree. Whether you nitpick the "walking on ceilings" issue, it's superb as both a content and aesthetic choice. Everything being upside down feels extra demonic.
>>12913392It's just another average pixel indiesloppa that got astroturfed to hell
>>12911585He never liked his father he was a good guy since cv3That would work if it was anyone but alucard, plus we have enough subversion where we the bad guy wins
>>12913881While I'm not the biggest fan of this new Castlevania's art style, your comparison misses the mark because to me they're clearly going for the pic related variation of the zombie enemy
>>12914478That would be a good point if the result didn't look like the most generic zombie ever, and the game wasn't full of other generic zombie types that look like sword hollows and bow hollows from Dark Souls. Choosing the inspiration is part of the creative process.
>>12914478They resemble undead from House of the Dead remake or Night Slashers remake
>>12911585Izzat-minded post
>>12911585>>Alucard shows up to get revenge on Richter for killing his fatherI thought he showed up to investigate why the castle was active again.
>>12915213He's making shit upAlucard showed up to stop his father once and for all because he suspected the castle was active because of him
>>12913392It was fun but the fucking game deleted my save after 15 hours and now i think it fucking sucks
