It;s really only Alucard's path that has shit levels, which is why I never go for him. Avoid those and the game is easily one of the best in the series IMO

Yeah bro i absolutely should have known that the second i spawned into this part of the level that there would be a brick fall right on my head. Also, easy pattern aside, even taking no damage shit like this is just W A I T I N G. IT'S NOT F U N.

Yeah bro, Castlevania 3 has terrible level design! It totally has nothing to do with me being garbage at the game.

Yeah, the game has definitely "aged". Games with obstacles are such a dated concept.

Rondo of Blood best game

The only good Castlevania games are 1, 4 and 68k.

Everything else is dogshit.

No it's like this. The only bad Castlevania games are Adventure and Haunted Castle. Everything else is playable to amazing

Better than Castlevania: hallways.

Oh fuck off, Bloodlines is fine, it's just that one stage that's kind of mediocre and even then it's fun on it's own

I did but I like the increased difficulty of the western release. That said, fucking hard mode is insane. I don't think I could ever beat it, not enough will just to beat a game.

[Anonymous No.6590187]

>>6589882
No I didn't. All of those games range from playable to amazing, as I said in my post.

[Anonymous No.6590205]

>>6588753
Excellent job on realizing this.
>stair spam
>uneven level length (some levels are too small and some too long)
>shitty segments like the falling block room
>rehashed bosses
Why does this game get jerked off again? Just because it has multiple playable characters and alternate paths? Is this enough for a bunch of idiots to cling to a game and think it's high quality? The actual good 2D platformers in the series are 1, Adventure 2, Rondo, SCIV, Bloodlines, Rebirth. 3 is mediocre at best when compared to these.

[Anonymous No.6590206]

But the Japanese version has disgusting pseudo-orchestral music, instead of the clear chiptone tone of the American version.

Ironic coming from the /v/edditor who thinks an amateur's-romhack-tier Castlevania game for the Wii is as good as the classics by Konami.

The american release has a better difficulty curve, a real 2nd loop, makes Grant less busted (still quite busted) and has overall better level design preventing bosses from being cheesed. Gameplay wise is clearly superior

[Anonymous No.6590913]

>>6589824
My theory is it had to do with the fact that it looks too much like a monstrance, which is what the Catholic church uses for exposition of the Body of Christ. I suspect the logic was that it would make the imagery less problematic for a predominantly Protestant USA.

Wot

Holy water is still in the game and it's still busted.

I mean of course you can still cheese some bosses (although lot of them arent really on the ground so you cant just kill them with holy eater), but at that point it is a reward for keeping the upgraded holy water, in the jap version is just trivial since you could just stay on safe spots

also there a plenty cleaned up sprites

The only downsides are overuse of bats in jumping areas and the lousy "all enemies do 4 damage" rule.
