1UP writes: "First off, the game's lone new heroine, Shanoa, represents a massive deviation from the series' whip-crackin', all-male Belmont bloodline -- she's a dutiful, emotionless acolyte who wields amazing magical abilities in lieu of a flail. Her clever "glyph" powers completely redefine the nature of Castlevania combat: Rather than fighting with physical weapons, Shanoa must cash in her ever-regenerating MP to manifest the powers of equipped glyphs. You can have two different weapon glyphs and one ability (magical attack, enemy summon, etc.) ready at any time, and certain glyphs can be combined for even more devastating effects. And although Shanoa amasses a sizable arsenal of glyphs, equipment, and items during her adventure, you rarely feel the obvious collect-a-thon vibe that infiltrated the otherwise excellent Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow".
Castlevania’s twilight years were some of its best, but they were not enough to avert the dramatic end of the series as we knew and loved it.
Someone should fire to the lowest pit the guy on Konami that thought mobile gaming was the future and destroyed MGS, Castlevania and other franchises in the way.
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are among some of the best Koji Igarashi titles that fans can play while they wait for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to release on June 18.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Steam reviews are very positive 9/10. I'm going to buy it for Switch though. I want to also play on the go, and at work :D
Damn didnt know Bloodstained just released. Will get it on switch
Yeah I'm REALLY loving what little I've played of it so far and this is coming from someone who hasn't been too impressed with what has been shown of the game, guess metroidvania plays better than they look.
Few game series are as definitive and beloved as Castlevania. Pitting players against Dracula and his unholy forces time and again, it is a staple of the medium of gaming and continues to live on in some way, shape or form after decades of releases. Some entries have been better than others though, so today we've got all 30 ranked from worst to best.
