After the releases of both Super Castlevania 4 and Symphony of the Night, the Castlevania series began to take many of the twists and turns that have plagued the series as a whole up to now. Constant attempts to recapture the magic that Symphony of the Night had when released on the first PlayStation caused a rinse/repeat/recycle loop of titles that did not elevate the series pass it's previous achievements. This lead to the release of many games using the same Metroid-Vania formula with convoluted narratives, as well as half-hearten attempts to bring the series into the third dimension. Castlevania was a series that was lost in itself, struggling to find a new hit entry into the franchise and a new identity.
Contrary to other beliefs, the PC Gaming is home to many great hack and slash titles. The list will tackle them.

"In a sea of games inspired by Metroid and Castlevania, only one company has ever worked on both series proper."
From memorable boss fights to chilling lore revelations, here's why Lords of Shadow 2 may be the most underrated Castlevania game.
Well i enjoyed my time with it and thats all that matters too me, i could not care less what others thought. Please bring 3 out Konami or at least a 1 and 2 remasters.
Same here. I own it on PS3 and PC and love the title. The soundtrack is amazing and the tone they paint for the character of Dracula with Robert Carlyle's great voice work is perfect.
Same here, I’m a huge castlevania fan, have all of the games. Even the remake that was made on the Wii.
And I have the PS3 and PC versions of both games as well.
They look really cleaned up on the xbo through bc. The LoS games are some of my favorites.
it was ok. but the hide and seek BS was some of the dumbest stuff in the world.
I remember the intro being fun an action packed. Then the game became "OK" with a lame hub system and sneaking around as a rat. The modern time frame levels weren't the great either. Lord of Shadows 1 was much better and I wish they had continued with that formula.
