Your top 5 Castlevania games?

Curse of Darkness

PoR

Order of Ecclessia

Aria of Sorrow

Lords of Shadow(come at me,haters!)

What's your top 5?

All time: Aria of Sorrow 2. Harmony of Despair(too much awesome in one game, plus they redrew Julius's dreadful running animation from DofS) 3. Dawn of Sorrow 4. Symphony of the Night 5. Circle of the Moon Hopefully Mirror of Fate will be good enough to bump C of the M off this list. El_Zo1212o

The GBA ones are all better than Symphony of the Night.

But that's just me.

1. Symphony of the Night
2. Super Castlevania IV
3. Lords of Shadow
4. Dracula's Curse
5. Lament of Innocence

1. Circle of the Moon
2. Symphony of the Night
3. Dawn of Sorrow
4. Portrait of Ruin
5. Aria of Sorrow

I never played the pre SotN games when they were new and to me they just feel really outdated by today's standards so those are my favs.

Top five CV games...

1. CV: SOTN
2. SCV IV
3. CV: HOD
4. Castlevania III
5. Castlevania I

Honorable mention goes to Portrait Of Ruin. I didn't like CV II as much, but kudos to Konami for experimenting and trying out something different with it.

I think the case can def be made for Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow. But for Harmony of Dissonance? I thought that was easily the worst SotN style Castlevania to date. I wanted to like it, but it just felt really uninspired to me compared to the others.

Just so that people understand, when I said HOD, I didn't mean Dissonance at all, but Despair, which is a lot of fun to play with friends on XBox Live. It was fun going through all the stages and finding the best loot possible. :)

I got it. I was just interested in hearing what El_Zo1212o's thought of Harmony of Dissonance. No need to worry.

Same. It's not a bad game, but it def didn't live up to my expectations for the series.

Only one I played was Lord of Shadows. One of my top rated games this gen.

1. Lords of Shadow (was totally blown away by this game, never in a million years expected it to become my favorite)

2. Castlevania (NES)

3. Bloodlines

4. Symphony of the Night

5. Order of Ecclesia

@users that said Harmony of Dissonace wasn't as good as CotM.

I feel the opposite,i liked it better than CotM.

Order of Ecclesia slowly but surely over took Symphony of the Night as my favorite. I liked Shanoa as a character, and I enjoyed that they took it out of the Castle and made it into an adventure and how Shanoa ended up there to defeat Dracula. Just sat really well with me. But more so, Hard Mode was a lot of fun. It was fun to overcome and getting past an area based solely on skill was welcome, as the franchise is normally pretty damn easy.

After that, it would go Symphony of the Night, Super Castlevania IV, Dawn of Sorrow, and Lords of Shadow.

Casltevania 3 Draculas Curse

Super Casltevania 4

Casltevania Rondo Of Blood

Casltevania 1

Casltevania Lord of Shadow

I can't stand the Metroidvania games.

1. Order of Ecclesia 2. Symphony of the Night 3. Rondo of Blood 4. Aria of Sorrow 5. Portrait of Ruin Why they felt a need to reboot the storyline and throw out the entire canon is beyond me. It's why I have no real interest in playing the Lords of Shadow games.MAILER_DAEMON

they didn't.

The old timeline still counts.

I guess it takes place inj a different universe

5. Castlevania: II: Simon's Quest

4. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

3. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

2. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

1. Super Castlevania IV

1. Castlevania: SotN

2. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

3. Super Castlevania IV

4. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

5. Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

With #1 being the best:

1. Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse
2. Castlevania Dracula X
3. Castlevania 1
4. Super Castlevania
5. Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest

Castlevania went downhill after Dracula X. I don't care for Metroidvania. I thought the linear level design was a lot more fun in Casltevania. That's a game series that did linearity right. The only Castlevania games worth playing are the ones on the NES and SNES.

Bump

My top 3 in no order are Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness, and Castlevania Judgment.

as for 4 and 5, I would say, I guess, Portrait of Ruin, and.. Dawn of Sorrow

In no specific order:

1. Super Castlevania IV

2. Symphony of the Night

3. Order of Ecclesia

4. Castlevania Chronicles

5. Portrait Of Ruin
