Castlevania 1 and 3 were both MUCH harder.

If you're talking about the "extra" mode in that, then it might apply. Though I'd wager others wouldn't find that mode that difficult.

Why stop at the original and III? Rondo of Blood, Dracula X, Bloodlines, and ReBirth are all significantly more challenging than IV as well.

My favorite, but it was the easiest of the three for me. The first one was the hardest for me

Someone really should do a romhack of IV, and put Simon's standard blocky moves from CV1. Then we'll see how hard it gets.
I personally think the catacombs level of IV is one of the hardest in any castlevania game. The level design is great, the library, the clock tower with that saw coming from below... I just think it's not as hard because the controls are very thight mostly due to the multidirectional whip.
Also, I don't know if all of you know this, but once you finish the game once, you can start a NG with added difficulty, just increases enemies HP iirc, but still worth trying if you want a more challenging run

Also, on top of that, SCV IV is basically Treasure's Castlevania. I seriously hold it as my all time favorite CV game, even though I also love Rondo, III and Bloodlines about the same, IV is still my overall favorite.

I recommend that first-time players use the password to start this way. It doesn't make much of a difference but at least it's something.

It's difficult, but it's not THAT difficult. I mean, by most game standards I guess you'd call it hard, but it's way less difficult and cheap than its predecessors.

You have the best whip in Castlevania history, you can do it.

[Anonymous No.1248424]

In terms of difficulty.

Simon's Quest without walkthroughs or Nintendo Power > Castlevania 3 > Castlevania > Super Castlevania IV > Castlevania: The Adventure > Any of the Metroidvanias

You're joking right?

[Anonymous No.1249312]

Taking this as a serious thread. Super ghosts and ghouls and chakan. I own these and have never beat them. I got close to beating super ghosts and ghouls by playing with my friends for a week but fucked it up by loosing the bracelet and not being able to get it back in the last level. 4 days was spent sting that last level over and over again.

put castlevania chronicles between castlevania 3 and 1 and you are totally right
also the "hardest" metroidvania is circle of the moon because is the only one that dares to put you in some challenging platforming scenarios though still pretty tame compared to classic castlevania

Those puzzles don't count as being difficult. Besides, assuming you brute forced your way through the game, none of the bosses would give you any trouble whatsoever. Even Death goes down like a bitch.

That game was tough as shit for me as a child, I never managed to beat medusa which is only the second level boss.

>tfw you come back to old games you never completed and wipe the floor with them

[Anonymous No.1250854]

>>1250738
Medusa is the mid-boss of level two (there is no actual real level 2 boss) and she's easy as shit, like seriously maybe the easiest boss in any CV game. even a child should have no trouble at all wiping the floor with her

This is fucking hard as nails. I've played it so many times I've learned most of it, but the boss battle in stage 4B and everything that follows just assrapes me
