This game is a masterpiece, it's not as complex as Order of Ecclesia in level design but it's just so smooth to replay.

In before the usual NES classicvania fags show up to tell you the game is shit. You're absolutely right though. It's one of the greatest games in the series, as well as one of best games on the SNES despite being one of the first.

Sometimes things that are jokes seem a little mean but they're actually funny.

It introduced the whip thing, which alone makes it the most important entry in the series

Only Castlevania game that truly feels like a grand adventure.

HUUUUUUMANS

Your braindead ass cannot be serious

>massive player sprite can whip across 90% of the screen at any time
>sub-weapons are useless
>Simon floats around like he's on the moon, just so the player doesn't have to commit to a jump at any time
>the stages are a cakewalk until the torture chamber when they started spamming instant death objects
>infinite continues
>slows to a crawl when too much is on screen
>enemy damage doesn't scale high enough
Super Castlevania Bros is baby's first Vania.

Most Classicvanias are repetitive in their structure. It's why Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse is the GOAT of the franchise.

Upgraded cross kills most bosses in seconds. Though yeah 8-way whipping does turn most sub-weapons useless, especially the axed.

Most overrated Castlevania game

Oh boy this retarded poojeetoid again
Hello dumbfuck you listening? ENEMY PLACEMENTS ARE LEVEL DESIGN.
Literally name any hallway from SoTN thats as well designed as the ecclesia swamp. I'll wait
Spoilers, there is none. Its never about how intricate the routes through an area are. Its always about what you face moment to moment in that space. In which ecclesia is unmatched. Did that get through your 20 IQ third worldoid skull? Dont forget to wipe for the 5th time in a row, Jabul

*underrated. Other than contrarian bait posts like OP, I haven't seen a single person praise SCIV sincerely, Castlevania threads are always jacking off to Rondo and SoTN.

>>713158606
Not reading that. OOE has the single worst level design out of any Igavania. Stop trying to defend literal fucking hallways.

I sure do love those tinny Super Nintendo samples.

I liked it. too short though and not that challenging but it was a showcase for the snes when it came out.

Holy shit taste. I'm a bit afraid to ask, but you do realize that characters in classicvanias and igavanias move differently? That, along with the arcade-y linear nature of the former means that "good" enemy placements are very different.
Also, classicvanias are much more tightly packed, while OoE is a bizarre half-measure exemplified by the fact that there are (for some inane reason) both corridor areas and "real" areas.

>>713159114
i think you mean "first mix", since bloodlines exist

>>713155665 (OP)
They made the Vampire Killer really broken in this game. Though the cross is still a great subweapon anyways.
