It's also the worst in my opinion . I really wish we could go back to those old Castlevania titles.

Solid 2d action platformers?

(Don't mind me, I'm just soaking up the tears of all the "Metroidvania" fans, seeing as how all I've wanted from the series was a return to it's roots, and the metroid style games where getting VERY derivative.)


Both! I loved the old 2D action platformers but love even more the Metroidvania like games. In fact it's one of my favourite series thanks to the music!

My BIGGEST problem in Lords of Shadows was the music.  Honestly, if they included classic Castlevania music and more recognizable enemies (really?  You couldn't include a couple of mermen, bone pillars, or medusa heads?) I think people wouldn't have had as big of a problem with it being an "alternate universe Castlevania reboot."

The Metroidvania's were getting pretty bad, though, I was tired of playing the same game and never playing as a Belmont.  Order of Ecclestia was a step in the right direction though, they changed a lot up and it felt fresh.  (For the record, I bought all the Metroidvanias AND I bought Lords of Shadows, and liked it,  but I didn't get the 3DS game.  Too many mediocre reviews.)
