That's not order of ecclesia

No handheld game is the best anything of anything.

buno

not bad huh?

YAHOOOOOO

Actually, patched Dawn of Sorrow is the best.

>patched?
Do tell?

No more touch screen gimmicks and AoS character art. Basically the only nitpicks with the game are gone.

spoken like a true console pleb

Sounds cool, I loved bot Sorrow titles, wouldn't mind replaying Dawn again.
Is there a place where I can get this patch without getting a gorillion of viruses?

>>388412701
I'll upload the copy I'm using currently.

>>388412530
The character art wasnt that big an issue even if it was inferior to AoS but the touch screen gimmick was incredibly annoying
Good thing they learned from it

It's pretty good. Suffers from the Symphony problem of running out of steam halfway through, the last four paintings have the inverted castle problem, but not as bad.

One of the best final boss battles though, I mean hot damn.

Top lad, thanks

The only best part of it is the soundtrack, its lows aren't even comparable to the series' worst, and when it soars it goes way beyond the best.

>THOSE FUCKING RICHTER AND SIMON REMIX THEMES, LAAAWWWDDDD.

As for the actual game, its bearly at the top, but not nearly there.
>The ganeplay flow is stellar, but things can get stupid broken if you know what you are doing. It was fun going back to a whip user, and Charlottes magic was a really cool thing instead of having some magic subsystem again.
>Great castle hub, but it will always feel like its missing 25 percent. I get it, ths castle map is the most accurate compared to its actual shape, but the size of the actual tower makes it feel like there shpuld have been a northwestern wing.
>This ties into the portrait worlfs as well. I do not mind the remix levels, but I think anoyher chunk of castle and 2 or 3 other original worlds would have made it better.
>Winds Quests reqard exploration, skillset sharpening, and an actual incentive to explore rhe castle in its entirety. Again, its a great thing and the most important updaye to Castlevanias formula, but the game feeling short does it no justice.


Overall the pieces were definitely there for it to be the best, but SotN and the Sorrow duology spoiled me silly in terms of game length, and I feel it ends too abruptly for my liking. Not trying to say its incomplete, but it needed that extra push for me. Best bonus modes ever though, gotta give it that much as well
