Incredible package of games! While I've always preferred the Igavania titles, there's no denying how awesome the classics still are. Worth it for Super Castlevania IV and Castlevania Bloodlines alone. Konami please please PLEASE release Rondo of blood and Symphony of the night on PC!!!
Just get the collection if you're a Castlevania fan and when it's on sale. Otherwise here is what I think about each games. Castlevania original : Banger game Castlevania II Simon's Quest : Banger game if you have a guide next to you Castlevania III Dracula's Curse : It's so great I love it, it's in fact my favorite in this collection, but be careful : It's a very hard game. Super Castlevania IV : Too easy for my taste, I don't like the music either but it's just because I hate 16 bits musics in general. It's great though Castlevania The Adventure : It's not good, really not good. Castlevania II : Belmont's Revenge : It's Castlevania The Adventure but 100 times better, it's actually good, I liked it Castlevania Bloodlines : I liked it, it's fun, but like Super Castlevania IV I found it a bit easy and didn't liked the music, it's a good game though, really good. Kid Dracula : It's a parody not meant to be taken seriously, I did find it fun
This is generally just a great collection of linear platforming action games, even though the achievements don't add much. I had already beaten most of the games here years ago, but it was fun to revisit and reattempt to master them. The first three Castlevanias are kind of essential except for maybe Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest which is horribly dated and only playable with a guide because it's overly cryptic and stupid. When you do use a guide, the game is way too easy because if you die you restart right where you died with little penalty. Castlevania 1 is "classic NES" hard, although really the only "impossible" part is the horrific fight against Death that will likely test your sanity. Castlevania 3 is the longest and most intense of the experiences on here. It's by far the hardest game in this collection, full of sadistic boss fights and horrifically unfair platforming sections. Some of the enemy movement patterns are slightly randomized, meaning you can do nothing wrong and still die. If you manage to beat it, there's an even more insane second loop that replaces medusa heads with flying skulls that attack at random. I don't know if I've ever been more frustrated at a 2D platformer, but I did manage to beat it. Also, Castlevania 3 has three side characters, one optional level and two branching paths. This means you must play through the game four times to unlock all of the achievements. The Gameboy games aren't really as hard as people make them out to be. They involve tedious memorization and have very hard final levels, but as a whole they're not that bad, plus you can beat them without worrying about the Gameboy's batteries running out which is a huge plus. Castlevania 3 GB is missing from this collection, but it's a bad game and the developer has kind of abandoned talking about it so it's worth skipping anyway. Then there's the "next-gen" Castlevanias, games that are dated and yet are so cool looking that they still feel cutting edge. Super Castlevania and Bloodlines both use pseudo-3D effects to create vector graphics that just look and feel impressive. Super Castlevania is my preferred game of the two, but they're both great. Super Castlevania's ambiance is top notch, especially when you get to the underground area. It brings me back to that feeling of the best SNES games: mysterious, foreboding, but also adventurous and oddly comforting. It's pure nostalgia and the controls are great, but it's also very easy and can be completed in a few hours without much of an issue. Bloodlines, on the other hand, has a steep learning curve. The game kind of screws up by not forcing difficulty on the player, letting them choose from normal or easy and setting the lives to 1,3 or 5. Further, if you die you can use a password to continue, negating the need for lives or continues. I dislike this type of game play since it never really feels like you've "mastered" it. With that said, if you beat the game on normal you unlock a much harder "expert mode" where you take double damage and gameplay elements are changed to make things way harder. I managed to beat it on expert dying the number of times that's equivalent to setting lives to one in the settings, so if you spent a decent amount of hours mastering the game you will get better at it. You get four extra lives and there are health refills hidden on the stages, so it is still often forgiving despite the difficulty. You also want to beat this game twice (There are two characters) and it's super programmatic, meaning you can do the same thing on each playthrough with little error once you figure it out. The two characters' paths deviate slightly but it's so little that it's barely worth mentioning, and it's essentially the same game with altered controls. Finally, there is Kid Dracula, which is technically considered a Castlevania game despite being a Megaman-style platformer. This game is surprisingly hard, especially at the end as you must beat the entire final stage including two bosses on a single life. You get lots of upgrades and there are several "high adrenaline" moments where you are jumping up platforms, riding a rail or trying to climb up while enemies attack you and the screen scrolls. It's really a gem and one of the better platform games on the NES. If you beat it the game has an ending where evil wins and there is a reference to Simon Belmont, almost suggesting "Kid Dracula" is actually Dracula from the normal Castlevania games, which is very humorous considering the tone and look of the game. If you can handle the dated nature of the game play here this collection is essential for anyone who wants to get into Castlevania because they show the origins and evolutions of the games while just being a lot of challenging fun in general. I only dislike the "save anywhere," and record features. Saving anywhere destroys the challenge, and while I get Konami wants to make these games more casual, it simply isn't the way they were designed to be played and it totally nullifies the sense of accomplishment. Thankfully, it's optional. The record feature is really dumb because it occasionally interrupts the gameplay because the recording is "full" even though I don't even know where the game is storing this theoretical recording.
