Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines are the only good classicvanias. Prove me wrong.

everyone thought that Super Castlevania IV was the second coming and the best in the series. Look at it now. It's the Lords of Shadow of it's time.

love this meme
I like the Metroidvanias, but I've never touched classic Castlevania.
Which is the best?
>>313019471
Chronicles and Rondo are superior to both of them.
>>313019802
Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines, of course
>>313019802
Rondo of Blood, Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines are IMO the holy trinity of classicvania, they have mostly everything good about the classic games consensed.
If you want more of a challenge, there are Castlevania 1, III, the X68000 Akumajou Dracula and Dracula X on SNES (a different game, not really a Rondo of Blood port).
Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth on Wii is also an amazing classic, remake of the first gameboy title in 16-bit style by M2.

Super Castlevania 4 has the best art style and controls. It's most likely the easiest of the classic castlevania's but that makes it really beginner friendly.
Rondo of Blood (PC) is a perfect mix of Castlevania 4 and Castlevania 1. Movement options while still being hard.

You mean PCE

rondo is top tier

Honestly, Castlevania III, Super Castlevania IV, and Rondo of Blood/Dracula X Chronicles are my favorites. I'd definitely pick up all 3 though, especially Dracula X Chronicles. It's a remade version of Rondo of Blood with english voice acting, plus it has the original game and SoTN with a new dub and script. It's the ultimate deal
The only good Castlevania games are Symphony of the Night and Order of Ecclesia. Very overrated series.

Holy shit, I forgot about Bloodlines! Another one of my favorites. I need to actually beat that game soon

thanks for your input. strongly disagree.

Those games are excellent, but they are most definitely not the only good Classicvanias.

The classicvanias and metroidvanias are debated all the time, but nobody can deny that this is the best Battle Arena Toshindenvania of all time
