    Calling it a 10/10 feels wrong when Aria VASTLY improved over it.

      Aria is extremely overrated, I replayed it not long ago, and I seriously don't remember it being so ridiculously short, but it is.

        >I seriously don't remember it being so ridiculously short
        That is literally part of why it's so great
        Unlike ShitN it has no filler and doesn't waste your fricking time
        It also has NG+ which adds exclusive items so you are literally encouraged to replay it
        On top of this the RNG soul drops means every playthrough turns out a bit different, giving it godlike replay value

            It's a masterpiece considering it's a GBA game.

    Super Castlevania IV is better because it is short simple sweet and straight to the point. the Inverse part was dull as frick with the same music and anti climatic experience. Meh. 2d side scroller>metroidvania. Im a working man I dont have time that shit

      I also did the ALttP and Super Metroid polls and they were also nothing but 10's and 9.5's. NO game is prefect.

    9.5. I love it, it's my favorite castlevania, but it's not perfect. There's plenty wrong with it, but it doesn't ruin the experience. Personally though, I'd never give out a ten, since there *isn't* a perfect game.

    I am 37 and I played this game for the first time last year. I was really into it, obviously it shows its age. However, I was able to finish it and had very little complaints about it. I rate it a solid 7/10 and that was in 2022. Its excellent when you consider how old it is.

    It's a true 7/10. It's a great game, but it's just not the greatest game of all time that fans would have you believe. It's just 2D Dyansty Warriors to me, albeit a very good one.

      Try the hardtype patch, it guarantees that you will look at the death screen at least once.

    The game sits in this really weird place. It's essentially a piece of art both aesthetically and musically, and is also quite enjoyable to play. It's not crazy for people to praise it, it really does deserve it.

    On the flip side, one of the most important aspects of 2D games with an exploration focus is mobility, and Alucard's simply isn't there. His movement animations are smooth as butter, but the movement itself is slow and, dare I say, clunky. The mostly useless transformations break up the pace when you need them too. When you factor that in, virtually every following Metroidvania styled game is better than SotN. I myself, like many here, see Aria of Sorrow as the peak, and with that I agree, since it was the best compromise of both looking and feeling great. Also Harmony of Despair is pure kino.
