DailyVania: Which Castlevania game(s) are you currently playing?

The Castlevania series is one of gaming’s finest and despite it not getting as much recognition nowadays, it still deserves your attention. Whether you’re playing one of the classic entries in the franchise or the latest; there’s bound to be a ‘vania out there that’s for you. Some prefer the classic style, others prefer the Metroidvania titles; and the good thing is that both styles have given us some of the greatest entries in the franchise. Which brings us to tonight’s installment of DailyVania: Which Castlevania game(s) are you currently playing? Make sure to let me know in the comments section below and I hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend!

As you might’ve already guessed, I’m still playing through Lords of Shadow. I’m doing a full play-through complete with both DLCs–“Reverie” and “Resurrection.” I still haven’t been able to do that; I’ve been quite busy trying to get the trophies I had left but,alas, now I have my platinum! The thing is, that after so many play-throughs of this game it still hasn’t gotten old. Every time I decide to run through the whole experience I never find myself bored with any one segment. That speaks wonders for what Mercury Steam has done here. But enough about my praise for the game, it’s time to tell you all the second ‘vania game I’m going through at the moment.

Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is another ‘vania I’ve beaten on more than one occasion and just like Lords of Shadow, it never gets old. I’m playing this NES classic through the Wii’s Virtual Console. I’ll be ignoring Alucard in my current play-through, instead opting to stick with good ‘ol Sypha. It’s not that I don’t like Dracula’s son, it’s just that the levels on his route in the game are more trying than ones on the Grant/Sypha route. Memories of that intense falling tiles level come to mind. I will be tackling that run at a later time, though.

Both Lords of Shadow and Dracula’s Curse are among my favorite ‘vania titles and both games are ones which I can come back to anytime and have one hell of a whippin’ good time. So, which ‘vania are you currently working on?
