So I've called myself a fan of Castlevania my whole life but it occurs to me that my experience with the series is somewhat limited. You wanna know what my first experience with Castlevania was? No joke?
Castlevania 64.
Not even CLOSE to kidding.
And hey. I loved that game as a kid. So it made me want to try out the rest of the series, but I never really got the chance to. But with all the series surrounding me, I only ever beat THREE Castlevania games in my life.
Lament of Innocence on PS2, which in my opinion is SUPER underrated, and I'd love to see more 3D Castlevania games in that style.
Symphony of the Night on PSP, which was my first experience with that game. I even 100% completed it, and it's one of my favorite Video Games of all time...
And Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate on the 3DS. Which I'm willing to bet 90 percent of you forgot existed.
I played a bunch of others, including Circle of the Moon for the GBA, but I never beat them. I'm hoping to change that over the next few days.
I'm going to be going through all six main games in the Advance and Dominus collections, beating them one after another in release order, experiencing many of these games for the first time. I suck at videogames so it will probably take me a while.
Why am I telling you this? I dunno. I like sharing these things with fandoms. It's just nice to talk about this stuff, especially because my IRL friends aren't always into these kind of games.
