Lol, its a tough one but at the end of the day I have to give the slight nod to castlevania 3...multiple level paths and character swapping on the fly is fun. Even with it's modern spiritual successor bloodstained curse of the moon the character swapping is still that good stuff.

I was thinking of making this topic earlier this week.

CV3, by a decent margin. It's got a good difficulty curve, multiple playstyles, great replayability, and some of the coolest characters.

Rondo of Blood would probably come second. Great music and good gameplay with lots of variety. Just one of the most solid classic Castlevania games.

Hot take time, SC4 is a glorified tech demo. A very pretty tech demo, but a tech demo nonetheless. Generally too easy, with most of the difficulty coming from some janky jumps in a game that otherwise feels nice to jump in. The whip is just overpowered, for once. Using your whip to hang on handles almost always feels like a gimmick, not a feature. Great music, of course.

Yeah I just finished a playthrough when I made this topic and it was kinda funny how 4 is babby mode for like 6 whole entire stages. Then you get to the castle and you get a reasonable difficulty. Then you get to the letter stages and the game becomes actively hostile with goofy platforming traps that kill you instantly if you're not prepared for them.

Also Death is completely trivialized by the whip-shield lmao

Thats part of what makes it so fun and stands out against other traditional vanias

I'll go with rondo. Actually prefer original castlevania over 4. (I compared them cause 4 is basically a remake I guess)

3 I beat but that difficulty especially if you try to play alucard....
