I wonder how annoyed Dracula must be by being beaten every time. All his ambitions, all his plans - just dashed to pieces usually by the very same family that beat him before. Still, this short-and-sweet RECAPitation is satisfying as always and I'll never tire of "Descending into the dismal depths of the deadly dungeon" being spoken by you. I'll rendezvous with you on the next battlefield.

Leon Belmont spoke no word of a lie when he proclaimed that the Belmonts would forever hunt the night. Their ancestral duty that's passed out naturally by lineage stands in direct opposition to Dracula's immortality. It's quite a cool duality

He deserves every defeat at the hands of the Belmonts and the vampire killer for the bs he pulled on Leon at first, and on the world at large as he kept going.

People are pretty split on this one. I know it removed a lot of great things from SotN like the open world and some of the mechanics were a bit odd, but man this is my second favorite behind SotN. I absolutely loved the maximization and stats in this one and is one of the few I tend to spend a long time playing after beating it just leveling stuff up.

actually, making little levels like in the classic style while keeping the metroidvania style makes a lot of sense, since Shanoa was traveling the country in search of the Dominus Glyphs that Albus stole having multiple Castlevania games set only in the castle itself felt really redundant, so having players explore other areas surrounding the castle like in the classic games was a breath of fresh air the series needed

It's got a lot of crap, lot of the bossfights are just finding the cheap tactic (sometimes super easily like the shadow/bomb guy in draculas castle if you're lucky and just stand on the door you get medal straight away, the crab you just crouch in the same place and swing swing swing the bubbles and everything...). they added a map but it's still somehow more annoying to backtrack than in sotn etc due to how quicktravels are set. some levels basically reuse the same assets(the passes). the mp potions are useless, some levels (a lot) are just straight walk with content crafted from being designed for you to be swapping weapons constantly, bunch of enemies have deadlocks. crappy fetch quests, crappy drops, boring farming. the worlds actually really small too for having a map, some of locations exist only for having a bossfight and don't have anything to explore beyond that. in fact the lacking feature of the game is lacking exploration, despite having the map - they're just supermario levels you pass to get to the next (sucky) bossfight and occasionally come back to just get a treasure, glyph or a thing like that with new abilities found later - again not exploration since you explored those places already you were just teased with things you couldn't have while doing the exploration, so you just run back there to take those things as a timewaster thing. the heart/combo system kinda sucks too, especially farming the hearts if there isn't a place to steal glyphs nearby. the plots kinda bad too and it's just a game about killing dracula so that's something. and sure there's a lot of glyphs but most of them are useless. It's a smaller game with what feels like a smaller world with less things in it than Sotn, the map screen is there to hide that. also whats up with the guys with chainsaws in 1800's?

Imo, OoC is one of the few titles that actually earns the moniker 'Metroidvania' as it focuses properly on challenging combat and level-based action platforming like a normal Castlevania, with the ability upgrades, loadout swapping, and ability-based gatekeeping of Metroid. I think the division comes from those who like Igavanias and the casualization of combat, emphasis on grinding and single-map exploration. OoC is a great celebration of both styles. Personally, I prefer Castlevanias over Igavanias, and OoC is pretty top tier

Very awesome recapitation. I really enjoy your series. Where a lot of reviews will gloss of the exact details of the Hero's Journey, you detail every story beat. That really helps me fill in the gaps for some games I missed out, and even some games I've played multiple times lol. Thank you for the content!!!

@scrungo7610 I had blackouts during high school. I'd just pass out. It was almost like epilepsy minus the seizures. On one of the occasions, 17 years of my life was gone. The doctors said I had amnesia due to it. They never found out why it happened. They ran so many tests for two years after it happened. It's still weird to me. Some of the memories are back now, but it's taken so long for that to happen. Thank you for asking. I appreciate it 🙂

Shanoa was a very intriguing character. Though, it always bothered me, that at the end of the game, she just walked away, with nothing, stripped of everything she ever held dear. I always thought it a shame to have her story end on such a sad note. Would've been great to get information of what she did with her life, after completing her mission. Did she commit suicide out of loneliness? Did she settle down and start a family? Did she continue the fight against the forces of darkness and was, at some point, KIA'ed? Any piece of lore would've been nice.

Finally I can hear the full story. God damm is this one hard. Portrait of ruin and dawn of sorrow are cake walks (especially dawn of sorrow's definitive edition+ version a rom hack that pretty much removes the stupid seal issue.) Portrait of ruin I tend to enjoy the most of the ds trio, due to its huge map. (Remember it's the base castle map + all the Portraits you can walk into. Like the desert, the city of fools, the nest of evil, that city area, etc.) Also the variety of weapons (not as good as D.O.S. but pretty good.) The two characters.

When you go do the demon castle war recap, just say this The year is 1999, just as nostradamus foretold, dracula is back and so is castlevania, a young julius belmont comes there and liturally destroys everything in its path, no joke, HE PISSED ON DRACULA, AND HE DIED FOR REAL WHILE SCREAMING WHY TF DID YOU URINATE ON ME AW GAWD MY BONES UWAHHHHHHHHGH! and so dracula is finally dead as a morning rises on a new day until julius trips on a rock and gets unconsious for a few years, a memento from dracula, 36 years pass & his recarnation & his childhood friend walk up the hakuba shrine, only to pass out and awaken in dracula's castle, this event has not been made into a game therefore it didint have any copies worldwide. Someone better fix that!

My personal headcanon is that after the game, Shanoa went out of her way to destroy all records of Ecclesia and their research of how to create and utilize glyphs. That way, the knowledge of Dominus would die with her, and so can’t be misused by others in the future. It would be a tidy explanation as to why no one ever heard of Ecclesia or even references it in the other Castlevania games.
