“Galaxy Castlevania games have many gods, but there are also a huge number of unknown gems”
The theme of this game recommendation is class Galaxy Castlevania games, a total of five, including the release of a long time but still worth playing the old game, but also the recent release of good quality new games, the first criterion recommended is not only fun and cool, but also fully consider whether it makes the essence of the Galaxy Castlevania gameplay, of course, also includes the visibility, after all, like “Hollow Knight” “Oj and the Dark Forest” and so on are already famous The list is all independent. The list is full of indie games, none of which are expensive, but each of which is worth playing.
Edge of Axiom
This game, released in ’15, is worth trying for everyone who loves Galactic Warriors, with its overall 8-bit style graphics and music, giving players a sense of what it would be like to play Samus on the SFC platform. Axiom’s Edge offers a wealth of collectible elements and hidden puzzles, and with a non-linear map flow and a masterpiece storyline, you can guarantee more than 20 hours of gameplay. The handle has a good feel for the weapon, but the overall difficulty is still high, and the late boss battles may dissuade some players.
The overall game experience is more on the old arcade and “Super Galaxy Warrior”, but until now there is no official Chinese which is really not very friendly, the current price of $68 is a bit high, it is recommended to consider carefully whether it is suitable or not, in addition to mention that the sequel should be released this year, you can look forward to a little.
Mexican Heroes Smash
It’s rare to find a game that has the design mechanics of Super Galaxy Warriors studied thoroughly and used for its own benefit, and this 13-year-old release of “Mexican Heroes Smash” is a rare and excellent learner. Following in the footsteps of the masters can indeed produce a masterpiece that pleases players, but not enough to appear on this list. The most remarkable thing about “Mexican Heroes Smash” is that it dilutes the immediacy of “Super Galaxy Warriors” with a unique aesthetic experience and a wealth of original content.
With a non-linear flow design and humorous plot, the adventures of Mexican wrestlers will definitely bring an enjoyable gaming experience to every Galactic Warrior lover. The current price of $48 to experience an indie game masterpiece is definitely not a loss, but if you wait patiently, the discounted price may be more affordable (an all-time low of $4). Its sequel “Mexican Heroes Smash 2” has also hit the shelves, and the price of $70 is a great deal for the volume of the game.
Lastly, the game supports multiplayer online, which is also a good choice to enhance the relationship.
Salt and Sanctuary
If you like the soul series and Cthulhu, excluding the throne on the “Curse of Blood”, this “Salt and Sanctuary” is also a rare masterpiece, of course, if only the two elements of the soul and gram system, it will not appear in this list, extremely rich Castlevania characteristics of the map design and exploration experience is the focus of the author recommended it.
The map scale is much larger than the general 2D action game, the interlocking level design and the difficulty risk of the Soul series, making it a Castlevania-type game with elements of suffering, or you can say 2D Soul-like. but its exquisite and rich RPG system and the development of a mature community so far, so that newcomers can also have a good gaming experience.
(Both soul elements and Cthulhu elements are handled quite well)
The game’s subtle plot, with the atmosphere rendered by the scene construction, can really make the Cthulhu culture lovers brain orgasm. 60 yuan price for the author to earn a solid, but if you only want to experience Castlevania map or soul and Cthulhu, then I suggest waiting for the discount.
The Messenger
A tribute to the best of Ninja Dragon Sword Pass, this 2D indie game released in 18, at first glance not many people may think that this is a class Galaxy Castlevania, but in fact its sophisticated level design, even let the light of Castlevania elements overshadow the ninja theme.
(The game has a clear homage to the Ninja Dragon Sword Chronicles graphics)
The game’s graphics are very retro, and with all the difficult action moves, you’ll wonder if you’re holding a joystick from an arcade instead of a joystick when you first get started. In addition to the stunning action design, “The Messenger” also offers nonsensical dialogue text, very creative time-travel gameplay, and a very Castlevania map level design. It must be admitted that its subtle boss battles and collection of hidden elements are enough to satisfy Castlevania players. Although the quality of the game can afford the price of $70, but the discount and then get it may be more appropriate.
Coolpad Ninja
The latest game in the list, released in 2020, “Coolpad Ninja” is different from the previous four games, its hidden elements collection and exploration of the sense of growth does not lie in the exquisite design of the map, but in the understanding and use of combat mechanics. But the game has just hit the shelves not long ago, subsequent updates will certainly improve the Galaxy Castlevania this core gameplay of other elements.
The game experience of “Coolpad Ninja” is very relaxed and enjoyable, with a specially crafted graphics style, a unique combat experience and a quirky level of character detail that is the main reason for its differentiation from similar games. If you like the humorous atmosphere of this kind of nonsense game, and do not mind this screen performance, then the price of $57 to get it is not uncommon, the game’s subsequent updates are definitely worth looking forward to.
The above are the five games of Galaxy Castlevania that I personally approve of. After Konami and Nintendo transformed the series’ originator respectively, independent games became a hotbed of growth for followers, and this classic and influential game genre still maintains a high level of charm today.
