Castlevania It is a saga that many of you who are reading us right now are probably familiar with. This world has given us games that have acquired cult status, although that does not mean that from time to time they lower the level a little and bring us deliveries that leave a lot to be desired. Today we will focus on these small disappointments.
Castlevanias bad, bad? Not so much
So since we love investigating other people’s failures here, we thought it was a good time to review those five video games of Castlevania that did not meet expectations. And so that this ranking is as objective as possible, we will take your scores on the reviews portal as a reference. Metacriticwho is almost never wrong in these matters. And now with all that said, we can begin.
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
We cannot say that it is bad, but it is one of the least valued. This delivery for GameBoy Advance it’s not bad Yes, but it is true that compared to the other deliveries we have, it falls a little below average. Its many similarities with Symphony of the Night They made it be considered a cheap copy. If we add to this a somewhat forgettable soundtrack. For all this it has a 79 score on Metacritic.
Castlevania 64
This game is dividing: you will find friends who love it as much as they hate it, so about tastes… Although Nintendo 64 has gone down in history as one of the company’s great consoles, at the time several of its releases left a lot to be desired, such as Castlevania 64. The saga’s attempt to venture into three dimensions was left halfway, thanks to very complicated gameplay and a camera that made us crazy. It has a score of 72 on Metacritic.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
One of the last titles in the series to come out is also one of the ones with the worst reputation. As a sequel to Lords of Shadow left a lot to be desired, with a somewhat simple story mode and a somewhat repetitive. For all this it was not very successful, having quite a few scores on Metacritic with a 58 out of 100 on Metacritic.
Castlevania: The Adventure
What played against this installment was the fact that it came out for the first GameBoywith all the technical limitations what that entailed. There was nothing that could be done to impress gamers with the technical capabilities of the console. This is why it could only take home a mediocre Metacritic score of 54.
Castlevania: Judgment
Surely, although the main saga is very good, many of you were wishing for a wrestling spin-off. Nobody? So there you have one of the reasons for the failure of the game. That it was so far from the roots of the franchise, and the fact that it was badder That sending grandma for drugs caused it to only have a 49 rating on Metacritic.
And you? What is the Castlevania What do you like least?
