As I sat and chugged through all the games offered in this collection I have come to the realization that this game, for what its worth, is alright at best. If Steam offered a neutral choice I would absolutely choose that option, but I am forced to give either a positive or a negative choice so I opted for the good side. As mentioned for the collection of games it has and what it is, its alright at best but s h e e s h does it have a few issues that bugged me while playing, and from those issues stems my negative viewpoint of this game. For starters, sometimes when you boot the game up, the audio is b a d. It has tiny peaks in the audio clips and (at least for me) would play louder out of one side of my headset than the other (I have tested my headset numerous times, I know both sides work. No clue why it would have that issue with just this game). Plus when you think it'd be fine after entering a game it isn't, and sometimes it may be worse cause every single audio clip is peaked. I had to do some digging around and the best way to fix this would go into the launch settings on Steam and type in "-disableaudio" and it should fix it - key word being should, for I still had the issue sometimes and would have to close/open the game a few times until it finally fixed. Another issue I had with it is the emulator would be really slow at some points making a few of the game sections (most notable ones I can think of is the clock tower from Castlevania III and almost a good chunk of Castlevania: The Adventure) almost unbearable to play and tempted me to just stop entirely. I know older games like the ones in this collection tended to be slow cause ya know, very old hardware was used to make them, and I read somewhere that sometimes slow portions were intentionally put in to "help" the player but can I ask why that is? Actually I guess I can't, so that goes unanswered. But I feel like if they were to put all this in an emulator and launch it as a collection series they should've at least fixed some of those "intentional" slowed portions or honestly put it on a better emulator to maybe sort of accommodate for modern hardware (that may be a weak argument there). Another thing which I'm sure a majority of people have also complained about is the controls, more so specifically the KB&M controls. I won't ramble too much on this point because all it is is that the KB&M controls for this game SUCK. Just get a controller and use it, makes it all SO much easier to play and its definitely intended for controllers too. Other than those, the games were alright. Some of these I have played before, a majority of them I have never played before, but I still had fun regardless. Castlevania 4 (never played before) and Castlevania Bloodlines (never played before) were definitely my favorites out of all the games in here, with Castlevania: The Adventure (never played before) definitely being the worst of them all. Getting all the achievements in it is a really simple task too seeing as how a good chunk of them are just playing the games. I know I have 29 hours of playtime for my copy of it, but I feel like it m a y be shorter than how much time I have on it? I guess it depends on the skill the player has/how much free time a person has in a day too. I could usually sit down and knock one or two games out in a single sitting and call it so. Would I recommend this game full price? Meh, only if you're a really big fan of the series and know you'd enjoy it full price. I'd definitely wait for a sale to come up and then snag it. Another point to make about all these games is from our dear friend AVGN and how the main hazard in a majority of these games isn't the enemies themselves, its the stairs.
Bless me father, for I have sinned. It has been at least 30 years since my last confession. I confess that I spent about 100 dollars....American dollars....on a console controller to play a game on my PC. I know that I've committed a mortal sin against the PC gaming gods and their divine keyboard/mouse interface....but I couldn't help it father! I have recently purchased some old NES games on this Steam service on my PC and just couldn't suffer the damage I was doing to my keyboard playing these silly games from the 80s. Please accept this public confession father, for I just cannot use the keyboard/mouse combo on these games. To be specific, this collection truly broke me of my sacred duty to the keyboard/mouse combo. Between the 8-bit jumps, whips, daggers, axes, holy water, and crucifixes my keyboard/mouse is absolutely useless and as ludicrous as sunblock on Nosferatu. I beg you father, and the gaming gods to accept and reprieve my confession. Hear me father! Many gamers young and old will not understand my devotion to the sacred keyboard/mouse combo, for it provides such flexibility and button combinations that could never be matched by an inferior console controller, no matter how much any heretics may disagree, but not here! Not for this beloved Castlevania collection! Please don't allow this affront to damage my devotion and worship of the electronic personal gaming computer gaming universes. I remain a devoted disciple of the sacred discipline of the keyboard/mouse combo, but this one time....just this one time....err....please forgive me....there were other games from the gods of Konami. Dare I speak of the "Contra" shooters? They deserve to be mentioned in this confession, those amazing gifts from the gaming gods that gave us mere humble gamers so much joy, frustration, passion, and sore fingers over those many years in the turbulent decadent decade of the 80s. In the ruins of that truly blasphemous gaming decade I must add the "Contra Collection" to this confession. Please forgive me. I just couldn't endure the damage I was doing to my keyboard playing these "primitive"," side scrolling," "8-bit," and "old school" gaming universes...please accept my humble confession and permit me to move on and pledge to commit no further sins against the PC gaming gods, AMEN....Setting my true confession aside, this collection has it's own genre, or at least half of one. The other half of the so-called "Metroidvania" is still missing. I've searched long and hard for my beloved Metroid (NES) on Steam, and as of this typing have yet to find the original war against the Metroid creatures and their pirate captors on Steam, but such is a tale for another time. For this review I shall do my best to evoke tears from my fellow elders and not bore the younger gamers to death....or at least a death without the sacred cross to protect thyself from the dreaded Dracula and his hordes of the undead. For this utmost holy collection of the Castlevania games is not only the historical partial birth of a genre for the youngsters, it is a sacred place of joy and profound holy frustration for we the elders of electronic gaming. Gamers beware, the hordes of the undead shall show thee no mercy! Simon's Quest (Castlevania 2) is something of a bittersweet joy in my universe. I spent many an hour in my adolescent room upstairs, down the hall from my sisters, and far away from any adult disturbance trying to figure out Dracula's riddle with little success. So many hours spent and blood spilt! I played the Simon's Quest game cartridge that I permanently borrowed from my Zoroastrian friend down the street so often that my ears would demand that I mute the volume and instead turn up the radio. Older folks will remember those devices that once existed in the FM/AM configuration. In this case I would listen in on my beloved Rock 101 KLOL Houston TX circa 1991-1993 whilst attempting to navigate and solve the riddle of Simon's Quest, without the hints and guides that so many other kids had from their Nintendo Power diagrams and/or gaming magazines maps to assist them in the quest. To this day I can still here the faint sounds of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, DIO, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and all the others somewhere amongst the 8-bit MIDI music of Simon's Quest, not to mention the commercials in between. Dracula's Curse (Castlevania 3) came from the same Zoroastrian source and was far more direct, but just as difficult. Ray the Zoroastrian and me the Catholic boy would exchange notes in the summers of 1991-92 before we gave up and went outside to play out our boyish fantasies of blood, glory, and blasphemy. Such nostalgia is reserved for only the most superior gaming gods. Dracula's Curse gave us the same action as Simon's Quest, but simplified the choices and characters. It also didn't require maps and diagrams (or befriending some neighborhood kid that hadn't thrown away and/or lost the manual). The original Castlevania was something that got lost in the midst of the console wars of the 90s and I have to confess that I hadn't played it until I found this collection on Steam. Player beware! While the youngsters grind away with ambitious futility, I giggle with slightly angry nostalgia and a strange sense of completion. These games are not for the casual gamer! Prepare for jumps and those floating Medusa heads! Don't forget to keep thy head above the rising waters of the sinking Greek ruins. The Gameboy games in this collection are foreign to me, but I care not for that green screen hand-held abomination. I wasn't impressed when the Gameboy was brand new and I remain the same to this day. Afterall, I was a Gamegear gamer back in the day, but that is another story. Super Castlevania 4 (SNES) was something else. The other Ray in my boyhood neighborhood (not the Zoroastrian, the white-anglo-saxon-protestant. WASP) was the one to convince his royal mother to permit me, the slightly older misfit, into the well kept and decorated Hutchinson household to play not the first SNES in the neighborhood, but certainly the most prestigious, and allow us kids an hour or 2 to play Super Castlevania 4. In those days we kids would beg our parents to let us rent actual physical games from the local movie store to play on the family TV. There were no streaming services back then, nor those awful Orwellian touch screen control devices. There's just something missing and absent whenever I click a game download. I miss the ritual of arrival, observation, selection, payment, and the ride home. We kids would be giddy with excitement on the ride home, waiting to try out a new game on the old consoles. The weekend that Ray Joseph (God rest his soul) rented Castlevania 4 from Midway Video will always be in my heart whenever I play that silly game so many years after his tragic death in Iraq....but moving on... Time passed in my boyhood and somehow I was able to finagle a Sega Genesis from Santa Claus after much struggle. Naturally this would bring Castlevania Bloodlines right to my own doorstep. Talk about redemption! I may have been late in my entry in the 16-bit wars of my boyhood, but I arrived in style. Castlevania Bloodlines is not only one of the best Genesis games, it's a force of nature and perfect update to the survival horror Metroidvania side scrolling gaming god Valhalla created back in '87. So many adolescent memories, so much 16 bit blood and guts. Castlevania Bloodlines was the best we could hope for blood and guts on a home console back in the day. It also gave us the option of a lance over the traditional whip, which had already been mastered in Castlevania 4, These days we have survival horror and action games the likes of which couldn't have been imagined in even the most innovative adolescent mind back in the day, but the original Castlevania games will always be legendary amonst us sinners nonetheless!
This is an entire full pack of every Classic-Vania game in the series, including GB games & a translated version of Haunted Castle. 1. Castlevania (1986) - The game that started an entire franchise, you take control of Simon Belmont as he takes up the Family Heirloom, the Vampire Killer whip, & makes his way into Dracula's Castle to once again vanquish the Vampire Lord! You can find Sub-Weapons & Hearts in Candles, along with Secrets in breakable walls, all of which continued to be staples of the series for many games to come. There is a full line-up of classic Universal monsters for Boss Fights, including the likes of Medusa, Frankenstein's Monster along with Igor, & your standard Giant Bat. I give this game a 10/10 for obvious reasons, this game is the original & is a pure piece of art. 2. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (1987) - Take control of Simon Belmont once again in a rarely-seen direct sequel to the previous game. Simon has been cursed by Dracula during their previous encounter, & after spreading his remains all around the country, he now must gather the remains once again to burn them inside Dracula's Castle, otherwise known as Castlevania. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest would be the very first game to introduce early RPG & open-world elements into the series, which wouldn't be seen again until Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for PS1 in 1997. These RPG elements include, but are not limited to: Levelling up via Enemy EXP drops, picking up ammunition from Enemy drops, finding items that open new pathways for further exploration, & even discerning between good & bad advice from the local Townspeople found throughout the many villages in Wallachia. I give this game a 9/10, I particularly love the RPG elements mixed with such an old-school game, I am ALWAYS happy to pick up Simon's Quest & highly recommend any doubters just pick up a simple guide & follow along, it will make the game a lot more fun! Or, you can dive into a TRUE old-school RPG mystery & solve everything yourself! 3. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (1989) - A prequel to the previous games, take control of Trevor Belmont, Simon's ancestor, as he returns from his family's exile to fight Dracula's freshly-unleashed minions onto Wallachia. Trevor meets up with several allies along the way while taking different branching pathways, including the Speaker, Sypha Belnades, Grant DaNasty, & Alucard, son of Dracula & future Symphony of the Night protagonist. The ending you receive is determined by which ally you finish the game with. I give this game a 9/10, while it perfected the Classic-Vania style with as much packed in as possible, I personally find the original to be a touch more fun upon replay. Try experimenting with different endings to see what could have happened! 4. Castlevania: The Adventure (1989) - Set 100 years before the first game, Castlevania: The Adventure follows Christopher Belmont, an ancestor to Simon Belmont, who must wield his Mystic Whip to defeat Dracula's minions after Dracula swears revenge upon the Belmont Clan. The gameplay is a little more simple, being the first handheld title on the original GameBoy, but it's still that Classic-Vania style we all know & love! It's only 4 stages long, but those 4 stages are definitely going to give you some trouble! I give this game a 6/10, while it lacks any personality in the graphics & sprite work, the classic Whip-swinging action is still intact, & you know it's Castlevania if you can destroy Candles for Hearts! 5. Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (1991) - 15 years after Castlevania: The Adventure, Count Dracula returns to kidnap Christopher Belmont's son, Soleil, to turn him into a demon and siphon his mystical powers so that he can regain human form and rebuild his castle. In this sequel, Christopher (you) will have to conquer 4 separate Castles before you can enter Castlevania itself & conquer true evil! I also give this game a 6/10, I think the GameBoy games are a cool little side-story that add some much-needed depth to the Belmont lineage & timeline. I definitely recommend NOT skipping these! Just use your Save States & take a deep breath! 6. Super Castlevania IV (1991) - This is essentially a Definitive Edition of the original game, you're back in Simon's shoes playing through the classic setup, HOWEVER, after Level 1, the whole game is completely redesigned & suped-up in every single way! You couldn't get a better Classic-Vania experience than this game right here! Amazing music as always (every Castlevania slaps), amazing power-ups, amazing Whip-action, amazing Boss fights, amazing level design, just amazing all-around! PLAY THIS GAME! 10/10, easiest perfect 10 I've ever given a game since SOTN lol 7. Castlevania: Bloodlines (1994) - This one is set all the way in 1917. Castlevania: Bloodlines follows vampire hunters John Morris (son of Quincy Morris from the Bram Stoker novel) and his friend Eric LeCarde as they travel across Europe. Together, they must stop Dracula's niece, Elizabeth Bartley, who has orchestrated the start of World War I to gather enough human souls to resurrect Count Dracula once again. While this game doesn't contain any Belmonts, John Morris does use the Vampire Killer whip, which was given to him by the Belmont family. Good enough for me! You can also play as Eric LeCarde (Al LeCarde?) & he has a SPEAR, which is unique for Classic-Vania games, & it has pretty good reach, too. The Boss fights in this game are really awesome, as well, they will definitely have you saying out loud "Oh, that's sick!" lol. I give this one a 9/10, I really enjoy this game, I haven't overplayed it over the years so it always feels nice & fresh when I come back to it every 10 years or so. You definitely need to experience it at least once, & you wont find it on physical cartridge! If you are a fan of the genre at all, then you owe it to yourself to add the games that started it all to your Library! There is definitely enough value here to get this full-price, BUT it's always on sale anyways, so definitely grab it for a few bucks & play your way through some gaming history! 10/10 Overall Rating!
