Castlevania: COM appreciation thread

[MCD]

Just got it from Amazon.

shit is awesome, probably the best GBA Castlevania game.

 

and someone tell Igarashi this is how you make a proper Castlevania, bitch.

yeah I dunno, I liked Aria beter. CotM is still a cool game though!

[MCD]

Aria is good, better than HOD for sure and the soul system made the game a lot more fun.

but what i liked about COM is how fucking hard it is, and most if not all IGA Castlevania games are easy.

[The Sceneman]

That is true, CotM was a good challenge. I still havent beaten the last boss  Portrait was a good step up from DoS, though. Still not tough enough. It was pretty easy to grind for New York Steaks iirc

[MCD]

I bought Portrait but i didn't play it much, the whole switching characters thing wasn't that impressive to me, i will play it some other time.

and you need to grind more and get some items.

it's really tough to get items with no shop around.

[The Sceneman]

yeah I was gonna grind for potions but I forgot which enemy drops them. Its one of those -armor guys but theres many varieties of them

[MCD]

CoM is awesome

[Yeti]

Yeah, circle of the Moon is pretty hard.

I never bothered to grind for items in Castlevania games, that was just too boring for me. Although I did grind for a few souls in Aria and Dawn of Sorrow, now that I think of it.

CoM is truly awesome. Got it with my GBA. Unfortunately, I had to play it next to a 100 watt lamp.
