Current Events > Is Symphony of the Night much better than the classic games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Because I am nearly done with the original Castlevania collection and I don't think it's that good.

Yet I have only heard good things of Symphony of the Night.

one of the best games of all time

The only good Castlevania

Way better than all castlevanias that came before it.

---

People that like the earlier style seem to be in the minority. SotN is like half the namesake of the genre.

Of the old games, lets not start this shit.

eh it hasnt aged well. enemies/bosses go down instantly and the castle itself is tedious. if you want a good castlevania check out aria of sorrow and the three ds games.

SotN is the turning point in the series when the gameplay changed significantly. A lot of people like the free roam rpg style in SotN and in the games afterwards over the classic level style gameplay. If you don't enjoy SotN then there's no point in attempting any games after it

Yeah. Those games improve on SotN so damn much.
Still, might as well check SotN out first, might be hard to go back otherwise.

I got bored with SOTN not too long after it went upside-down

The old games are great action-platformers.

Bumpies!

Only if you like Metroid.
