You may choose only one, which is it Yas Forums?

OoE is above average difficulty, Dawn is below average

Thr games are generally pretty easy unfortunately, OoE has more reasonable difficulty so it feels quite a bit harder. AoS' only flaw is being too easy, even on hard mode.

Order of Ecclesial is the first game in the series that was built with any kind of difficulty curve since Symphony of the Night. Player growth is a lot more in tune with the challenge escalating, which is why my favorites DSVania.

The Hard mode is especially good because it turns Shanoa into a glass cannon and you need to fight every enemy in the game with you strongest spell combinations quickly in order for them to not kill you.

Shame they it got the lowest budget for any of the games though.

I think my least favorite thing about Dawn is that most of those original and interesting Soul abilities all turned into 'Summon the monster' I feel like half of the bullet souls were just summons.

Can someone please make a ROM Hack with the gameplay on the top screen, thanks.

I see we're not talking about SotN, OP.
Care to explain to me why?

Because it wasn't on the DS

Because I didn't ask about it.

Because netflix effectively killed it and all its legacy retrospectively, you must choose a new flagship now, since from this day onwards, SotN has been permanently tainted with the mark of Yas Forums and SJWs, i recommend picking OoE, as its the best of the bunch

Sorry I don't play games about homosexuality.

Castlevania Bloodlines or get the fuck off.
This is an 18+ board.

Meant for

Fuck all the DS games if we'r doing that, give me Aria of Sorrow.

This.
OoE is now the Magnum Opus of the series.

>Ecclesiafags already at it
You guys are as bad as the Dark Souls and Hollow Knight fans

This would be my order too were it not for the shitty sigil gimmick Dawn had.

>OoE
>good

You forget about literally any other game in the series that is better?

I have yet to play Eccelesia, beside actually good art and a waifu what does it have to offer?

Nothing, it's absolute garbage.

It's been a while since I last played Dawn, but I also remember that making some souls even barely functional was tedious because of the soul leveling system.

>lowest budget
I would’ve never guessed. It seems so much more polished than Portrait.

Surprisingly solid story and good system in the form of gylphs. I know it's a bit linear, so it may not be to everyone's tastes.

There are none.
Ecclesia is the best.
OoE fans never shilled the game and spammed the board. We're not even fucking close since OoE doesn't even get talked about that often.

a more balanced experience than any other dsvania
and optional autistic grindan if you're into that

Shit, both of them have their fair share of diverse flaws. I really dont know.

DoS's main weakness was having so many useless souls that were basically just weapon fodder with only 15~ worth using.
PoR had the weakest Dracula's Castle in the series. Very bland, although the paintings were good.
OoE is just solid the whole way through.

>Ecclesia is the best.
It's not even in the top 15 castlevania games newfag.

It's got Double Hammer.

Jeez what the fuck happened to the art between Aria and Order

Portrait > Ecclesia > Dawn

>be physicalfag
>these games are about as expensive as they were at release
Aria is the worst, I've seen seen loose copies go for $60.

Konami was annoyed that Castlevania was popular in the west but not Japan, so they figured the problem was the artstyle. Judgement's designs were born from that exact same attempt to finally get Japan to care about the series.

Let’s talk about Ecclesia then. Shanoa was secretly a Belmont, right? It would explain why she was the catalyst that brought the Belmont town into being and why she felt as though she belonged

Probably thought the more generic dtyle would appeal to normalfags more. At least by OoE they got an actual artist again.

Dawn of Sorrow has some pretty good bossfights in my opinion. It's got one of the better Death fights and I liked Aguni (Agni) and Abaddon.

Don't think she was, but the Townspeople were all descendants from the clan.

The short of it was that they needed to make animations like it was some sort of anime, and animating Kojima's style its impossible. Why they chose the most basic and and terrible artist and charachter designer is a mistery though, I guess it was cheap.

Dawn is the most fun of those three, but the DS games are some of my least favorite Castlevania games.

Order of Ecclesia
Tbh, Dawn is the worst of them, the bosses weren't very interesting, and the stupid touchscreen symbols are the worst thing. Portrait at least has some cool bossfights, especially the last one, and the secret area at the start was fantastic

Portrait is pretty fucking good, but i gotta go with Dawn. Ooe was only alright, it wasn't for me.

The duality of man.

OOE. If netflix dares to touch it with their shitty series I will hunt every single motherfucker who worked on it down and make them suffer.

Imagine letting a non canon western adaptation control how you feel about a game.

That show sucked ass, or maybe I should say fucked ass.

You don't understand, now Castlevania is gonna be filled with disgusting Netflix secondaries that think the show is canon and will continue to shill their faggotry and try to infect the games as well. Castlevania was already not doing very well as a franchise, this isn't helping

I never said I'd feel differently about the game, stop projecting.

Dawn is dogshit and Aria is overrated
DS games
Order>Portrait>Dawn
GBA games
CotM>Harmony=Aria

The fact that she unconsciously brought them all together makes me suspect that she had some Belmont blood even if she didn’t have the Belmont name.
Like how Maria is said to have been a Belmont descendant (she was adopted by Annette’s family so Annette x Richter isn’t incest) or how the Morris’s are Belmont descendants

Portrait of Ruin, easily. PoR>OoE>DoS.

Dawn with the patch that removes sigils and replaces the anime portraits

Like the zoomers who never played FF7 spamming "Cloud says trans rights!" and headcanonising Cloud being gay on twitter after the most recent trailers with the forced cross-dressing, when that's so far removed from the actual context of what's happening ingame. Stuff like that and the gay Alucard shit is why gatekeeping is absolutely necessary.

>filled with disgusting Netflix secondaries that think the show is canon and will continue to shill their faggotry and try to infect the games as well
The games have been fujo-bait since Kojima got her grubby little fingers on them. Obviously the games don't have any sexual plot threads, but I doubt that's likely to change anyway. There's really no reason to give a fuck about this. It wasn't even the worst thing about the show; the biggest problem with the season is that's a boring and tedious mess of disconnected threads.

Order > Portrait > Dawn

Objective truth

OoE easily.

It actually kinda was.
The sex scene was mixed in with an action scene, making it incredibly jarring and odd to watch.

OOE has a hot female lead. They wouldn't want anything to do with it.

HOW DARE YOU

>fujo-bait
when all the Castlevania protags have been extremely straight? Highly unlikely
>Alucard had Maria
>Soma had Mina
>Leon had Sera
>Hector had Julia
>Juste... okay

OOE I want to kiss and lick Shanoa's back.

>Any DSvania
lol no,
also, eat a dick Ecclesiafags

juste had his gf that was in HoD

Portrait of Ruin >>> Dawn of Sorrow >>> Order of Ecclesia

OoE is AWFUL. Least amount of content, recycled room after recycled room, insultingly bad map design, segmented world, tedious unfun bosses, etc. Of course Yas Forums is full of OoE fans. After how awful today was, I frankly think Yas Forums should be the last place to talk about Castlevania. You should all be ashamed.

The female jeweller villager flirts with Shanoa though, doesn't she?

>Nu Yas Forums hates OoE.
What a time.

Yeah but she's also really hot and has big tits.

>Comes in here completely unhinged and has the worst post ITT
Shoo, Schizo.

I'm mostly referring to the character designs. SotN and onward undoubtedly brought the vast majority of whatever female audience Castlevania has to the series. It's Kojima's bread and butter.
