Castlevania Thread

AoS is better designed*

I've been liking HoD so far, but I've only completed AoS and OoE so maybe my bar is just set too low.
Successor of Fate is one of the catchiest character themes in the series.

We are all praying bloodstained is SotN but with with no inverted castle and not as easy.

I don't think Harmony of Dissonance is bad, it just has a god awful soundtrack for some reason. Usually castlevanias have oretty good music, I wonder what went wrong with that one.

Circle of the Moon best GBA Castlevania.

This post hurts my feelings.

There must be some fancy aphorism about making a baseless general claim without even attempting to back it up.
SotN has more content than AoS.
You must be insane. That was not even physically possible on a GBA.
SotN was more popular than AoS. It was the most popular and iconic castlevania. How could it be hipster at all to like anything about SotN.
Yeah exactly.
Fucking what? It's only "performance" because it didn't try to do any of the fancy graphics effects that PS1 did.
So the game that people complain about having too much superfluous content which isn't needed to finish the game, has no replayability. Okay.

Forgettable music and the simple graphics/overly gray pallette made traversing the castle mind-numbing an hour into the game.

CotM has a lot of substance but with all the style of a dying cat in a wet paper bag.
