In light of the recent release of Castlevania: Harmony of Despair for XBLA, I’ve gone on somewhat of a replay through the best titles in the Castlevania series. The classic NES titles are always good fun, but things really start to get exciting with the Metroidvania style games such as Symphony of the Night. There have also been quite a few misses in the storied franchise, most notably Castlevania Judgement, but what are the top five games in the classic Konami series?
Love single player RPGs? Here at HardcoreDroid we've complied a list of the top ten offline Android RPGs as of 2020.
Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.
Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.
But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.
But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.
Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
Inspiration is a big part of the game industry, but if a game is inspired by another does it cheapen the experience? CGM's Jordan Biordi tries to examine the concept.
I would cast my vote for Symphony of the Night.
Not too bad of a list.
I've only played one Castlevania game. It was the first one for DS, but its title escapes me.
Don't shoot me please! Haha.
SOTN is the only castlevania for me.
1. Order of Ecclesia
2. Dawn of Sorrow
3. Symphony of the Night
4. Aria of Sorrow
5. Portrait of Ruin
For me☆
