Memes aside, this game is worse than Castlevanina 2. And the

Yet it still has better controls and combat than the other GBA games.

It's the best game in the series.

>>382084565
>controls
I disagree, playing this back to back with Harmony of Dissonance made that game's dash system feel liberating.

>>382084565
The controls are not bad, but pales in comparison to HoD and AoS.
The graphics are the best of the trilogy, in my opinion though.

Rate this series from best to worst

Dashing is lulzy but isn't really solid mechanically; Juste controls like a bar of soap on acid. Mashing shoulder buttons to move also wasn't much better than double-tapping the D-pad once to sprint.

Worst flaw with the game really is the RNG drops for spells, which is bad although not nearly as bad as the RNG in the Sorrow games. OoE was more like CV2 than this.

I can't yet, I am playing all of them in release order, this one is the worse till now.

>>382084925
Doing exclusively Metroidvanias:

PoR > CotM > OoE > Aria > Dawn > HoD

Haven't played SotN.

Also

CV3 > SCV4 > Rondo > Bloodlines > CV1 > Rebirth > Simon's Quest

I really really like dawn of sorrow, but maybe it's just because it's the first one I played.

it boggles the mind that konami made these games and now they're in the gambling business, what happened to all the pixel artists and gameplay designers? did they quit being game developers?

CotM and OoE were the only games in the series on the GBA and DS I liked

kill yourself

Why does everyone suck OoE's dick? It's good but it's hardly great. Game is basically a glorified boss rush for crying out loud; there are like five levels which are literally just a giant corridor

Does anyone else agree that the only major problem the IGA games have is that they're too fucking easy?

Circle of the Moon was the first Castlevania game I played. I also put a fuckload of time into it.

I could never get over the fact that you could kill Dracula with kung fu. Mars + Thunderbird, baby.

There we go.
>>382089087
And also predictable as fuck.
They also reuse the absolute fuckout of SotN/Rondo enemies. I hate it.

>They also reuse the absolute fuckout of SotN/Rondo enemies.
i think they update the art of a lot of them, but people barely even notice it

>>382089572
Doesn't matter if the AI is still the exact same.
Case in point: the fucking spear knight.

>>382084485

Circle is fine. it's a bit, like crude sorta since it's an early GBA game.

Harmony is an outright mess.

Aria is god damn golden. The only one I actually own.

>>382088993
I had more fun with Albus mode than anything in the other games. It's basically a Mega Man game at that point.
