The easiest Castlevania game in the series (It’s not what you think) 

Let's go! Grant's just that damn good what can I say? Imagine America got dagger throwing Grant

Yes. I think he’s the best partner especially if you keep Trevor with holy water the whole time. Breaks my heart they neglected him from the show. Thanks for watching!

ANOTHER GRANT W. WHAT IS A LANDLOCKED PIRATE?!?!??

If you get the Crissaegrim it’s gg. You can make Alucard op in that game

@@Imgoodurbadd I don't remember if I had that specific sword and I don't remember what I did exactly but bosses were going down in like 30 seconds lmao

@adrianamorphous it’s the rare weapon that drops in the room with all the ghosts in the inverted library. Insanely fast. But yeah symphony easy but fun

'Soul Steal'

Shield Rod + Alucard Shield + Dark Metamorphosis

It is definitely a process while managing other responsibilities but I enjoy the process 100%. I love this game to death and retro video games. Thank you so much for checking out my video

Hi thanks for the subscribe. I am a big Classicvania guy so stay tuned for part 2 and I am glad you enjoyed!

@@Imgoodurbadd Heck yeah, Castlevania and also Touhou are two of my favorite video game series. I love hard games with great music.

Awesome to hear! Castlevania is definitely my 2nd favorite video game series. Konami hits with that soundtrack.

Them stairs. Leaves you defenseless

Yeah I tried haunted castle it was not a fun experience. I beat the adventure and the only positive is the music(Chris’s walking speed is disgusting) Castlevania 3 even though difficult the game is a damn masterpiece so I played it a lot and it’s my 2nd fav game of all time now. Simon’s quest isn’t a terrible game just not my cup of tea

@@Imgoodurbadd Good for you. I prefer the 16 bit retrovanias but Dracula's Curse is the best out of the 8 bit ones.

Great catch! Yeah it also fits the moment captured so two reasons to use that.

Haha. If only this game had bloody tears it would make it 10 out of 10.(it is 10 out of 10 in my bias)

@@Imgoodurbadd well castlevania 4 more than made up for that

Netflixvania be like

subbed

@asdfghjkl2261 thanks so much! Glad to see you enjoyed the video

I am a better guide than Nintendo power could ever be. Thank you for watching!

Hello. Yes I prefer Grant simply because of his mobility and skips he can do. If you keep holy water with Trevor, you don't even need Syfa. I'll show you in part 2 how to deal with the pesky doppelgänger. Thanks for watching!

Hi thank you for watching! If you’re referring to level 7 on alucard’s path(abandoned mines) I cover that in part 2. There’s ways to decimate the level

@@Imgoodurbadd I look forward to it, it's the main reason I don't like to replay it since I prefer taking him into the final level over Sypha and Grant

Alucard is really good for skipping a section in level 9 and another section in 10. Holding onto holy water is crucial

Valid strategy but the orb spell is neutered in the American version. Sypha ice spell plus Trevor holy water you literally cannot lose

​@@ImgoodurbaddIf you don't mind, how are the orbs weaker in the North American release? I know about a lot of the difficulty, music, etc. changes, but the orb one is new to me.

@hadesKIU if I remember correctly I think the way they track enemies isn’t as precise as the Japanese version.( I will double check but it’s still decent but you also cannot use it again until all the orbs leave the screen which American version it’s worse)

@@Imgoodurbadd It might have been literally impossible to do on NES. The Famicom version got a custom mapper that Nintendo of America didnt agree with. Way earlier in the NES Lifespan, the "clone orb" from Gradius got nerfed due to lack of specs vs Famicom.

I hope you found what you’re looking for in part 2!

Haha. That would be the dream. Thank you so much for the support

Now I would say castlevania the adventure xd. But in reality probably super castlevania 4. That game is only “hard” in the last 3 levels

With search-action there can still be some platforming and boss patterns to learn but yes the grinding takes a lot of the challenge out of it.

SOTN is actually easier than 2/3 of the GBA ones. Its equal in difficulty with Harmony of Dissonance.

@@AxiomofDiscord No one is gonna call it "Search Action" because its a stupid, dorky, lame name. No matter how desperately you wish people did.

@@eightcoins4401 Many people call it Search Action that is the genre. Just like STG or Shooting Games. Are you seriously going champion an alternative name?

I’m glad to hear it! I thought it was unique and a way to express my enjoyment of retro games. Castlevania 3’s gameplay is peak if you know what you’re doing and soundtrack in both versions are great

also never knew about the knife lightning trick??? this game is so peak omg

Yes. It’s such a cool detail. It gives the dagger one purpose because it’s just that terrible of a weapon(unless you have Japanese version grant)

Maybe I’m just slow what’s the song name?

@@Imgoodurbadd Flash Back from CV3

Oh wow that’s right but I felt monster dance fit that moment better I feel

@@Imgoodurbadd still a great vid though, keep it up bro

Nah Simon quest belong in the trash. Jk, it’s a fine game but not my cup of tea. Glad Konami made cv3 and then experimented with symphony of the night

I'd say Aria of sorrow is the easiest one. Death can be a little hard the first time but thats about it

@@thelostspectre4694 I found SOTN way easier.

I appreciate the support. Thank you

@xdario10 Doesn't look like a Swiss-cide bomber, but you never know...

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 coming soon

I am not Brazilian but I’m glad you found it quality and funny. I appreciate the comment!

These memes aren't Brazilian just global

Thanks so much! I appreciate it and glad to hear you enjoyed

I’m really happy to hear that! I also love retro games mainly the nes era. Good to hear. I’m trying to find a balance.

Thanks so much. I appreciate you checking out my video. I’m still obsessed with this game it’s my favorite in the series hands down. I like super castlevania IV but it’s more for atmosphere and fluid controls. (Also simon’s theme hits hard)

I think it’s a very underrated song

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked. Definitely more to come stay tuned!

I still enjoy doing Trevor only runs. Alucard’s bat form is underrated only downside is suffering through one level but trade off could be worth. As for attack, I never use him for that

@@Imgoodurbadd Maybe the characters are somehow designed to be like difficulty levels for only one character runs too . I mean the replayability of this game is to this day astounding from its different approaches.

Alucard’s path is definitely meant for him. If you take grant or sypha, they are not useful compared to him. The replay ability is what keeps me coming back I’ve easily played this game over 100 times

Thank you. I’m glad to hear it! More to come

Hi thank you for the kind words. Castlevania 3 is easily my favorite game in the series. The American version feels more castlevania to me but the Japanese version is a great way to try out the game. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

@@Imgoodurbadd Ay no problem man, always glad to meet a fellow Castlefan. Currently replaying Symphony of the Night and playing through the dsvanias for the first time too. American one is definitely nostalgic but also the damage being multiplied is kind of a pain. I still remember enjoying it but japanese version is nice cause its less difficult. Plus the Famicom's ost is peak.

Good man. Symphony is awesome(more of a Classicvania guy) Famicom ost is peak but I thought it would throw off the immersion of the American version gameplay. Stay tuned for part 2

@@Imgoodurbadd Yeah I adore Symphony of the Night and the metroidvanias but I love Classicvania too ofc. I get what you mean about the ost though! Will definitely watch part 2 when you make it!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed

Thank you so much! I hope your dad wasn’t Trevor Belmont. He’d whip the shit out of you

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed.

I am glad the algorithm brought you to me haha. Thank you for the nice words. Many more to come!

Haha. Thank you for taking the time. We’ll see if I make a video of Sotn(more of a Classicvania kind of guy) but symphony is a fantastic game.

Hi there. Thank you so much that means a lot. Stay tuned for part 2!

On RU-vid it’s labeled the femur breaking scream. I just find it funny

I haven’t tried legends because of the controversy. Was it due to the storyline of her and Dracula if I remember correctly? That game didn’t look appealing to me

@@Imgoodurbadd Its bad. Not as bad as the first game boy game but there is nothing of note about Legends. What controversy? The fact that Igarashi made it non-canon supposedly primarily because of a female Belmont? Its possible that interview or article mistranslated what he said. Its no big deal anyway. If anything, that game being non-canon is an objective win for women considering its low quality. Then again, there are hipsters who call themselves Christopher fans even though one of the games he appears in is awful.

@panthekirb7561 yeah poor Chris had one decent game castlevania 2 Belmont’s revenge(unless we count the adventure remake as well) I thought it was controversial from reading how Sonia and Alucard were romantically involved which is weird so they made it non canon because a Belmont and a vampire could never happen. I have to read more about it and maybe try the game out of curiosity

@@Imgoodurbadd The story implications are rather dumb. It would make Trevor into Alucard's grandson or something. Honestly its a shame that a lot of the canon retro Castlevania games are bad/mediocre. Castlevania 1, 2 and Adventure are all canon but Super Castlevania 4 is not. Rip.

@@panthekirb7561 Rondo of Blood is also canon and pretty much the best 16 bit one Though I dont really see the point of leaving 4 out of the canon. Isnt the story literally just the same as Castlevania 1?

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed.

@@Imgoodurbadd You're welcome man

Interesting take. I enjoy NES games although mario 1 is a classic I think I’ll stick to mario 3.

@@Imgoodurbadd Yes, i always tend to forget mario 3 was part of the NES, since i like it in the all stars game from the SNES.

I’m thankful the algorithm showed you this. Castlevania 3 easily my favorite in the series for the massive replay ability, music, partner system, and I’ve mastered the difficulty. So rewarding!

@@Imgoodurbadd Exactly! That's something that trully surprised me for a game of those years. When I noticed how broken ice spell was, it felt like being GOD jajaja

If CV3 came out modern day, they’d probably release a patch to nerf the shit out of grant and maybe increase ice spell usage to 5 hearts. The fact all of sypha’s spells cost 1 heart is insane

@@Imgoodurbadd Totally crazy, i even felt like a cheater using the cheese feats of every partner

@@len1802 it’s part of the game so enjoy yourself but the true challenge Trevor only whip only.

Indeed. The algorithm has definitely blessed me. Thank you for the compliment I appreciate it

Yes Grant is just that good. He can pretty much climb on top of anything(he can also do the same in the first room of sunken city to skip the merman room underneath)

Yeah castlevania 4 still a good game. I just think it lacks a lot of features other games implemented

@@Imgoodurbadd the worst of the best

@@Imgoodurbadd still the worst classicvania

Hmm have you played castlevania the adventure haha

@@Imgoodurbadd yeah and i loved it such a good game tho the controls were a bit anoyoing still the platforming was so fun and the second game was even better

Thank you. Maybe I should make a video on that game mode haha but if it’s easier than cv3, is it worth? Thanks for taking the time

​@@Imgoodurbadd for your sanity no, I was joking it's the hardest mode in entire series.

Hi I am glad you found this satisfying. There is more. Stay tuned for part 2

@@Imgoodurbadd Awesome! 😁

You beat Dracula in this game? I bet you played the Japanese version didn’t you?

@@Imgoodurbadd the vrc6 chip was my savior

I would say Castlevania IV is the easiest classicvania. Simon's quest is just boring to me. Thank you for watching

Nah

Hi there. Definitely not happy about that but I still love the show because it’s based off my favorite castlevania game.(my logic is maybe the writers thought people only beat the game with sypha and Alucard and never realized you can keep grant the whole game).

@@Imgoodurbadd At first it was supposed to be a movie, not a series, that's why they cut him. Then once they decided on a TV series they decided to leave him out anyway because he was considered irrelevant

Wow I didn’t know that. Thanks so much for the information. I think doing a tv series was the right decision for a better story and character development. I think they could’ve fit grant in an episode and have him show up for the finale or something

@@Imgoodurbadd I agree, but I think leaving him totally out was a good choice in the end. He would have been too much. There were the 3 main characters, Dracula, the Master Blacksmiths, the Vampire Sisters... in short, quite a few characters, maybe adding him would have taken away from the others, he wasn't necessary. And adding him just to have him at the end wouldn't have done him justice.

@@ImgoodurbaddThe writer said he’s never played or seen any of the games.

Thank you so much. means a lot

You better know. This is the easiest castlevania game

​@@Imgoodurbadd Totally, we all know the hardest Castlevania game is Castlevania 4, after all

That game is so hard idek if i can cover that xd

Is that the real Bill from king of the hill? I appreciate the W

Duly noted

​@@ImgoodurbaddIgnore them, add more.

I am conflicted haha
