Tomorrow marks the release of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the latest entry in Konami’s monster slaying franchise. To help get you in the mood to kill some werewolves and other menacing critters, we put together a short list of downloadable titles from Castlevania’s legendary past, just in case you cannot afford to pay $59.99 for the new game, or just want to immerse yourself in nostalgia.

Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
10 years gone by without a new Castlevania title. Now that Konami is considering stuff other than Pachinko, this series deserves a new game.
It’s more than about time it’s way overdue. Please make a 2D Castlevania with item/armor/weapon collectibles and transmog as this is the one series my wife will play but it has to have item collecting or she will skip it.
Lords of shadow 1 was such an amazing game and they dropped the ball with the sequel
"What is a name? A miserable little pile of letters."
Seriously, the games in the From Software's Soulsborne series are the best 3D Castlevania games we will ever get. From Bloodborne to Elden Ring, Konami will never approach that level of quality and give Castlevania its due respect. EVER! "Enough talk, call yourself a Belmont in the Character Creator, HAVE AT YOU!" Without question.
As for a new 2D entry? I mean, sure, why not? What the hell, right? It's about damn time indeed.
I hate being that guy, but I think it’s, “What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets.”
Um, actually mine is the original line in the Script. But Konami, being Konami, decided to change it to "What is a man? A miserable 'little' pile of secrets." I know, they ruined it...
So, while I know you hate to be that guy, you still missed the "little" part. It happens.
And, yeah, I know. You're welcome.👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. On the other hand, it seems like some ppl were so offended by my Line being so OP that they decided to side with Konami. But these are the same people that bought Contra: Rogue Corps Day One and convinced themselves it was the best Contra. So I take no offense.
It happens.
Tracking the history of the Metroidvania genre all the way back to the fifth generation of consoles. Here are some of the best.
Thank you for this. :-)
Can anyone tell me what "Run" DLC means ?
