how does one get into castlevania ive been curious about it for a while

HI OKAY AWESOME THANK YOU FOR ASKING THIS

personally you should get into the games!! there is the netflix show but its soooo very different to the games lore that i consider it something different entirely (there are alot of other valid criticisms of it but other people are more eloquent than me about it)

anyways, the first thing you need to know is that there are 3 distinct sorts of castlevanias. first you got the original 'classicvanias' which are the older ones where its really tight platforming stuff. theyre really hard but fun imo! then you have the 'metroidvanias' which theyre more known for i think. they're way easier to get into. and then there are the 3Dvanias which i think is best to get into after u get interested in the lore

personally i started with playing portrait of ruin! which is on the ds (emulated). i think most ppl consider it to be one of the easier games. but i honestly didnt get too too insane about it until i played symphony of the night (ps1) - which is the first of the metroidvanias so its a bit weird sometimes but the story made me insane. there is also aria of sorrow (gba) which is also one of my favourites!! that one has really fun mechanics and ive seen people recommend that to be their first as well!! for the classicvanias, im not really sure how one would get into them but rondo of blood seems like a good choice

so that is what i think ^_^ lmk if u want a little more because I Love 💖 My Vanias
