Finished Castlevania 4

[deleted fren]

Pretty great game. Very good final boss. A much better final boss than Rondo of Blood. I'll probably play Castlevania 1 NES next.

I hated Castlevania 1 cuz it was almost impossibly hard most notably the stupid fucking obnoxious knockback on every hit and offscreen jumpscare enemy placements other than Castlevania 2. At least Castlevania 2 can be now finished with guides but Castlevania 1 is like a kaizo maker's wet dream designed to troll and waste the player's time. Stupid game I call it overrated.

It's actually quite easy tbh, only the penultimate stage is hard

Castlevania 1 being hard is a meme

I do appreciate those too, and I feel the metroidvania thing has been overdone to death. That’s why I kinda prefer this one over SOTN:

Yeah the game makes it easier cuz of the cheese strat guides + save states or not if you have insane endurance cuz there are no checkpoints in this era of games. I've played it blind first time without any guides and still harder than 2.
