PEAK Castlevania | The Shadow Rebirth Fangame (Harmony x Portrait)

[@DARRENZCONANIMS]

What you all just saw is a private demo. This mod is all about OVERHAULING (well mostly, lol) the game and make it look like an official new game. But it takes time, so be patient. Thanks for the demo showcase!

[@WyvernCult]

its looking awesome so far! thanks so much for all your hard work!

MY MAN DARREN WSG

[@shamak0054]

We agree that this looks like the DEFINITIVE castlevania hack-rom fan-game. It has such a level of detail that it even seems like an individual Fan-game like Lecarde Chronicles 1&2 or Seal of the Curse, it is very difficult to believe that this is a hack of Portrait of Ruin And it's not even finished yet!! I take my hat off to all of you

[@somefries3101]

Like the harmony of dissonance mod that adds Simon and stuff?

[@ironravenfox]

Do you have a level editor so that instead of it is just the same level as people can design different levels for themselves

[@detectivesky6123]

Jupiter: *glitches up to a late game weapon* Also jupiter: “omg this is so good it needs to be banned”

[@gagejoseph91]

It's a testament to how good this hack is that every time he picks up a new weapon or movement upgrade, Jup says "I'm switching mains." Everything is just THAT good.

[@shamak0054]

This is one of those games that just by seeing the demo you can see that the wait for the final product will be completely worth it.

[@darian6423]

22:35 Oh wow, I wasn’t expecting to see my work pop up in this romhack! Nice!

[@DARRENZCONANIMS]

Yeah, i love your work as always. Thanks for drawing one of my fav protagonists, Nathan Graves

[@Guille-mz7xf]

@@DARRENZCONANIMS Nathan deserves more love and so does Circle of the moon

[@Lechai]

Oh wow, I was NOT expecting to hear my old Crystal Castle/New Messiah arrangement in here (starts at 33:51). I'm way more than okay with this, though!

[@koenvandepoll927]

It’s amazing! Is there anywhere where we can still find it?

[@shadowandsilverxd9321]

Yoo, House of Sacred Remains coming in clutch, never expected that soundtrack to be here. Niceee

[@HouManTang]

so fitting also

[@Fostext]

Maxim and Juste look and move so well. It reminds me of Simon from Super Castlevania 4 but on steroids! The music and sound design is top notch!

[@tmdllc]

How do I find a copy to play of this beautiful fan made game?

[@tiago4826]

I had a great time with Circle of the Realm, can't wait for this one

[@gagejoseph91]

Good lord, the CV modding community has to be one of the best out there.

[@DarthFhenix55]

Man, I love how Maxim's round jump is just the barrier attack from Metroid. Using it in a Metroidvania is just too fun.

[@jeremeyersteinberg-baylis737]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think his double jump in HoD also looked this way ^^

[@HarbingerYT]

​@@jeremeyersteinberg-baylis737 Maxim had a triple jump in HoD. He also had a Somersault attack that acted like the Space Jump and Screw Attack combined.

[@CB-L]

This is unexpectedly awesome and I can't wait to see the complete version. Love the custom sprites & animation. The partner tag SE is mildly annoying though Feels sorta ironic that original PoR is the last game with Maxim's legacy(Stellar sword) - meaning either Kischine is no more, or retired from hunting the night entirely

[@Animeku065]

[@Dr.SamCarterPhD]

13:02 Nice subtle Abbott & Costello reference

[@cletusmcyeetus5975]

The thing I love the most about the custom character sprites is that the two of them run _the same way_ as in their original game.

[@pehhii]

This is by far the best fangame I've seen in a while. Darren is a G!

[@Kurokami-One]

Amazing sprite work and put "Battle for the Holy" in high quality!? it's a dream come true!

[@Jurarigo]

Oh my god you showed us some crazy hacks this year but THIS ONE is the absolute best of all, I can't wait to play the final version, I literally can't!!

[@TheTolnoc]

The SotN background looks so good on DS, it's insane.

[@Jon_East]

Genuinely love how much you're enjoying this :D

[@manwharinooo]

11: 46 I was waiting somethin like this when they give you the diferents whips in Castelvania Harmony of the Gba .

[@BonesJolene]

Wow the castlevania fan game community is really knocking the music out of the park lately, huh? The custom graphics and sfx on this are so good too… Edit: I did a spit-take when I saw The Weirdo

[@Geneolgia]

It's always so nice seeing other characters get their sprites and animations up to the SotN/DSvania standard, and Juste's whip animation is so good.

[@Type03xx]

Now this is top tier rom hack. Many things are so fresh it's like a brand new game. Also, House of Sacred Remains remix is simply gorgeous.

[@darinrode812]

Wow!!! This looks incredible. Can't wait for the finished product.

[@NecromancyLabz]

I think someone just needs to make a Dracula X/SoTN style Castlevania engine. Maybe we can get some definitive remakes of the DS trilogy and even some brand new fan games made from the ground up. Clearly Konami has no plans to give us a new Castlevania game anytime soon that isn't a mobile game or pachinko machine.

[@moxxiefan2.055]

This was by far the CastleVania fan game i've ever seen. Props for the creator who made this demo of CV: The Shadow Rebirth, Looking forward to see a full fan game playthrough after the fan game's release.

[@tretrefairman]

This is one of, if not the best Castlevania fan game I’ve ever seen. It’s like the point is to really push the limits of what possible and frankly, it’s INSANE that this is only a demo. Who knows what craziness lies in the future?

[@flightsimx]

All the remixes here using Portaits soundfont are so good, they sound so official and on point. Love that Psycho Solider got some recognition and was remixed. Awesome stuff here.

[@derrickevans8491]

I think all the old Castlevania games should get a remake using the same sprite & game design like in Portrait, with free roam maps, new weapons, items, enemies, bosses & modes. They'd bring back alot of Castlevania fans.

[@KrimsonKattYT]

First we have to get Castlevania 1999. With Konami starting to license out their IP to indie devs, anything is possible now!

[@derrickevans8491]

@@KrimsonKattYT Oh i know, with Iga leaving & starting his own project really screwed Konami in the long run. but this is a good start on them.

[@SOTNHacked]

Other than the out of place Contra Music and the R-type final sound effects chucked in... this looks absolutely amazing!

[@lilcherryblossom]

This was beautiful! What talent!

[@qualityqueen1553]

Can't wait for the official release I've been waiting for another room hack like rondo of ruin

[@linkdx7079]

Dunno where else to say this but i accidentally discovered stacking in this game when i was farming the final guard, it was funny seeing them die so quick that their death animation didn't play and they just disappeared

[@Is-wunny]

Cant wait until Someone Mods the Beheaded in the Castlevania Games

[@Is-wunny]

Or if i learn how to edit Characters, i myself will add the Beheaded or Bobby to CV

[@HyperDefective]

This looks awesome, can't wait to see the finished game!

[@DemoniteBL]

Where can we see the progress of this hack? Is it even still being worked on?

[@dfo627]

This looks so good! I really wanna play this so bad, harmony is my fav ;-; (Along with Dawn, aria, and symphony, but Harmony was my first ever taste)

[@Giffsen]

The valmanway effect on Maxim looks funny lol Inb4 everything gets switched by the big golem. Not complaining tho

[@CB-L]

The amount of custom content(especially weapons and skills) make me reallllllly curious about all the enemies' 0.4~8% rare drops.. What's *Leon fake* gonna grant us with?

[@ltenshu1354]

This looks amazing

[@Rihcterwilker]

It looks so fun. I'm starving for this kind of game.

[@pearljaime2]

Submarine on a castlevania? Yeah, Rondo of Blood more or less.

[@ahmadchoirul660]

Ohh no it's time for the beep beep beep😂

[@TheTolnoc]

Why is this the first Castlevania game I've seen with a good double whip strike like that?

[@ErrantMasa]

25:17 where's my hassou-shuriken? (reference will make sense if you've played The Revenge of Shinobi/The Super Shinobi)

[@artrecs]

Necesito ese juego en mi vida 😮

[@beatsinmycrates]

Well happy new year to me . ...I need to play this ..

[@Gensolink]

maxim and juste never looked so good

[@YoshiDrare]

Hope it would be released soon

[@chrono817]

The only thing missing is JUSTE! MAXIM! JUSTE! MAXIM!

[@Shatter149]

i just like how juste swings the whip.

[@alwaysangry2232]

using the circle of the moon juice glass for MP/HP max up is a interesting choice

[@LunalovaniaGaming]

My favorite Castlevania game of all time, is definitely Castlevania I. I grew up playing it, even though i kept raging at how hard it was for me 😂. I never beat it as a kid, but I got up to death. Beat it as a teen though, and it was SO satifying to get that ending. 😅 I love a lot of the classic Castlevania games. I also love AOS, SOTN, and OOE. 💕

[@xboxclown8922]

I would love to see a mess up of Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow I'll play that in a heart beat.

[@beltube]

hey, if you're looking for more fangames/mods, i know you're not AS big of a classicvania fan but i've been cooking something up that i think you'll be interested in :)

[@RAD215]

I need play this.... I can't wait!!

[@HEYdababdoo]

[@AquyllysX7144]

É um Hack tão bom que nem parece um hack de Portrait of Ruin parece mais um jogo novo (É impressão minha ou a música de chefe desse hack parece a musica de chefe do Mario & Luigi Superstars Saga) 1:13:43 eu simplesmente amei esse inimigo kkkk

I'm hype for the final release, that's all I gotta say.

Looks better then the original man the Castlevania community has so good ROM hacks

[@SterlingCooper21]

Very nice! Some of the music in the beginning reminds me of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers game on SNES!

[@jeremyhall2727]

Yeah it's looking awesome

[@MLandriganReid]

Kinda knew that was Miriam but in my head it was Juste with Chun Li and Rambo (I don't have a photographic memory for every Castlevania game ever so I don't even know who Rambo is supposed to be)

[@WyvernCult]

can't wait to play this one!

[@kaisyra]

Does anyone know where the New Messiah arrange in the clown world come from? Superb demo by the way, can't wait for when it'll release!

[@TheTolnoc]

For some reason, the first screen gave me Ecclesia vibes instead of Portrait.

[@canceresbunny]

I thouhgt Juste always had the vampire killer in chain form bc his overflowing magical proficency.

It's looking godly

[@spardazinblackcoat3544]
