This was my first introduction into the Castlevania series and I loved it. All three of the main games offer different experiences without breaking too far away from the core gameplay elements. The alternate character modes for each of the games is super fun too basically allowing you to play through them as overpowered characters. If you are thinking about trying games from the metroidvania genre or Castlevania series this is an amazing place to start. There are also many changes to the touch screen aspects of the games to make them more comfortable playing with a keyboard or controller.

As for the original Haunted Castle and Remake, they're just bonuses to the collection. The remake is extremely short and a lot easier than the DS games but has many cool artistic choices and phenomenal remixes. The level design in many areas still isn't great but it's better than the original.

Please give us 'Castlevania: Symphony of the Night' on PC.

I'm really happy that these games got a full collection not too long after the GBA ones. Hopefully that means the PS2 ones are up next? Maybe also the OG version of Symphony of the Night

Thank you good People of Konami! Your great and noble deeds shall be heralded ceaselessly throughout the lands! so we all know what time it is now ::: its SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT - time mofo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will never ♥♥♥♥♥ after this ever again! i promise!

3 castles.

oh the nostalgia... tears of joy are coming out of my pee nis.

this is the best collection easy

it's not bad, huh

The classics you want to play treated with care. You don't get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ emulated port problems, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ "ultra deluxe enhanced addition" content shoved in decades later, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Bluepoint art direction, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI filters, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Unity conversions, or ♥♥♥♥♥♥ re-re-retranslations. You do get the DS Castlevanias as they were on release with some bonus material and two extra games thrown in for good measure. It's worth the price of admission, even if all of these games are easily accessible elsewhere. Every rerelease of older games should follow the model laid out here.

It's "Castlevania" do I need to say more, course not.
