Are Castlevania games fun?

I have been watching some videos for those games and to me, they look realy boring. Why do they score so high on GS and what makes them so fun?

HECK YES! basically lol they are quite in depth and pretty long and man i just love them haha probly some of my favorites games out there and dawn of sorrow and order of ecclesia are 2 of my top 5 DS games (ive yet to get a chance to play portrait of ruin but i will be picking it up soon)

you bet your a$$

I think they're pretty fun.

The Castlevania series is one of the best. The combat is fun, collecting items in the game is fun, and there's a lot of replay value.

Everything is really styled and the production values are very high. You can roam anywhere in game you want, and when you gain new abilities you can go to other areas. It's an adventure game with RPG elements that brings a lot of satisfaction of progression.

The series is awesome. Now go to the store to buy all of them.

Yes but they all difficult where if you try to beat the game dying you would have to have good reflexes, item management, and do a lot of farming and exploration.

Very fun games, the only part that i'm growing to dislike is the constant backtracking which became a staple for castlevania games for a long time. Beyond that, they are good because they are one of the very few series that doesn't seem half baked.

what rpg elements are in the game?

Leveling up, equipment management, item finding, stats, status ailments, etc.

You really can't go wrong with any Castlevania game from Symphony of the Night and thereafter (2D games anyway), but the ones I enjoyed the most are Dawn of Sorrow (it helps to have played Aria of Sorrow on GBA to 'get' the story) and Portrait of Ruin. I like all of them, but I thought PoR's multi-character feature and level structure was handled extremely well. The games never get old.

Castlevania games are challenging and fun, haven't you played a single castlevania game before? :(

what Castlevania DS title would you suggest to a gamer who has never played a Castlevania game before to play first?lordlors

I can only suggest Dawn of Sorrow, cuz i haven't played the others.

Dawn of Sorrow. Order of Ecclesia is better, but it's extremely hard. Try DoS first then maybe Order of Ecclesia... Or Portrait of Ruin, they're all great.

Castlevania games are totally awesome.

**** yeah they are. Some of the best games ever made.

I never liked those feminine looking main characters, but the games themselves are awesome although you might end up wandering in dracula's castle a bit too long sometimes.

one of the best series available on the ds.

I don't know if your question pertains only to DS games, but let's not forget the granddaddy of all the current Castlevania genre: Symphony of the Night. I kept my old PS for a few select oldie favorites and SotN is one of them.

But yeah, they're pretty fun. A great combo of RPG and side-scrolling platform with replay value, which is pretty rare.
