Castlevania: SotN Reviews
This game is insanely difficult very unforgiving but thats just how games used to be we guess.
We played this game years ago so it was really cool to see its on here now and for cheap so we could finally replay it after all this time, and its just as annoying and difficult as we remember (this is good). It feels the same, plays the same. Cutscenes look exactly the same lol. Uh no sound. Would really love if the sound worked. We think itd be an awesome feature to add the sound. We miss the sound. Yknow the puzzle where you need to hear the sound? Would love to do that one.
Im a 90s baby and this gem brought back so many memories for us. KONAMI, please! Please! Please! Oh please! Release RONDO OF BLOOD NEXT, PLEASE !!!! Thats another classic that should be brought here to the iPhone !!!
If you havent played it what are u doing.
We’ve played this game end to end about 3 times on mobile with the default controls. It aint that hard nooobs.
This was our first RPG game and we love it. Playing the game now is just like the old good times.
We prefer this version over the ps4 one. Anyone who says the controls are bad just have sausage fingers and should consider a diet. Port Rondo of Blood.
We have been playing this for several days now and love it. Just like the old SOTN we remember from PlayStation. We’ve seen multiple negative comments about the on screen controls. We play with the Backbone controller on our phone and havent had any issues. The only feature we would like to have seen is a cloud save. That way we can swap between our iPhone and our iPad. We downloaded it onto our iPad but didnt want to start an entire new game.
We remember playing the japanese version of this in 1997, we wasnt a huge castlevania fan at the time but this game was simply magical. Of all the sequels and clones that came after, this game is still the best of them all. Amazing soundtrack, for the time really good graphics that hold up better than any polygonal game of the ps1 era, a story that isnt too complicated or too simple, the random loot drops this game was highly influential and we think you will have a hard time finding anyone who has played it and doesnt love it. Play this with a backbone one controller!
Great game love the game play the art style and combat plz put Castlevania Portrait of ruin on iOS.
For Richter or Maria mod. The skill of maria and X(jump) was hardly order to use touch screen. Also like Alucard and Richter X. And the skill of Maria/Richter X was easy to order, not need to set a separate key. Please custom the key button for us. We really like this game, it’s the best game in decades we thought. Please optimize it, and we appreciate for all of yours.
Get yourself an Xbox series X controller, update the firmware, and get ready to game like it’s 1997. This game takes us back to the best years of our childhood and it is now portable with one of the best modern controllers.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is easily one of the best games ever made. Theres a reason its half of the name Metroidvania. We dont know how well the touch controls work, we expect they would prove difficult during some encounters where you want precision. But pair an XBox, PS, or MiFi controller and youll have an amazing time. Especially good on the bigger screen of an iPad. The only issue we found during a full playthrough was missing symbols when the game tried to display diagonal arrows in explaining how to perform spells. A very minor issue. Would love to see iCloud saves so you could move between devices though. Either way? More than worth the money.
This version of the 1997 classic on PlayStation is an excellent port of the game but lacking a few things; particularly in the vein of syncing save data across devices to pick up where one left off from another device, and the ability to customize the controller input just like with previous versions of the game. Personally we are used to having our attack buttons assigned to Square and Triangle respectively. There was no way of knowing how to access some of the games features that have been readily available from the start, such as the Castle Map, when pressing the Select button (on older console versions) or the touchpad (on PS4); without having to research the function online. We hope these are things that can be updated over time as the game has always been quite enjoyable. It would also be nice to able to access a quick reference to Richter and Marias skills when at the pause menu. This version of the Symphony is the PSP port that would be used in later/current iterations of the game as of 2007; meaning Maria Renard is playable as well along with Richter Belmont. Using a controller synced to your mobile device makes playing the game as simple as operating from a console but the game itself isnt as straightforward as previous versions, again owing to the altered mechanics for use with iOS. But it is well worth the $3.00 as you can now play Symphony right off your mobile. A must have if you are a fan of this classic game or the franchise as a whole, and you enjoy the Metroidvania format introduced with this game.
SOTN is an amazing game! We love Castlevania but since moving we don’t have any consoles we can play the games on :(! We adore this game, it’s been ported over fairly well in our opinion (I’ve only had minor issues with dialogue skipping in certain areas?) but we just cannot get over the controls. We understand that it must be difficult to port a game meant for controllers over to mobile but the controls are just painful. If you can get used to them we 100% recommend trying this game out! But if they’d be an issue the game might be more difficult than it should be :(
After all these years we still come back to this game from time to time to relive the Majesty! We personally don’t have much of an issue with the on-screen controls. We wish we could adjust them the way we want but still it plays snappy and crisp to us. We wish there was some side bezel art or make using Belmont and Maria actually interesting.
Overall game runs well but theres no audio at all and sometimes the buttons dont register when clicked. Maybe an option to move them and change their size would be helpful?
Amazing game for the phone and complete nostalgia. However, the controls are horrendous. The directional is too big and constantly lose control or responsiveness when changing direction.
The game is really laggy on our iPhone 14 pro max. We dont understand why and the controls are not som great unless you have a controller.
SOTN was one of our all time favorites growing up. We were beyond excited when we found out there is a mobile version of the game! But, for the die hard fans its not a 1:1. Voice actors are different in English. SFX is slightly different. Enemy noises are slightly off. Controls are Terrible, please update!!! Jumping and switching to the Bat or Mist lags which causes you to run the same exercise again and again. Is it bearable? Sure Do we miss the original? Absolutely Should they update the game? 100% Do you want to relive a classic on the go? This is great, just set your expectations lower than what youre thinking.
The button are so small, when youre trying to hit an enemy, you miss half the time.
Game stutters all the time on iPhone 14. We personally have the 14 pro max and this is really bad. At times it turns into a slide show and misses input. At least the controls are in a much better spot on this phone. Please fix these bugs and please let the player set the touch controls themself.
This is a fantastic gem of a game (I still have our original PS copy) and one of our favorite games of all time. When we saw SOTN ported to iOS, we purchased it immediately! While we get to relive childhood memories of spending hours upon hours exploring every nook and cranny in the game, this version is marred by HORRIBLE controls. Unless you have a compatible controller, this port is a hard pass simply due to the horrendous controls. It was only $2.99 but Im still unhappy with the purchase because of the terrible controls.
This port is so close to perfect but the music is pitched down and slower than any other port. This is a huge shame because SotNs soundtrack is iconic. Please fix it the music!
Love the game itself but the way the controls are makes it unplayable for us. Half the time they are completely unresponsive. Cant get passed the first boss because nearly every time we press the attack button it does absolutely nothing and we just keep dying.
We really should have heeded the user reviews, this is just unplayable. Yes, it uses the same layout as PlayStations direction pad, but it just doesnt translate well to iOS when it comes to control. An analog movement pad would work better, because its not really possible to hit two directions at once (for example, jumping up and forward feels clunky). Oh well years after release, we dont expect them to fix this.
The controls make this game unplayable. People are just giving it a better rating for nostalgia factor.
Seriously? You port over a game that used to be good and render it unplayable and miserable. You cannot hook up a controller even though it says you can. The game CANNOT be played with the d-pad. Period. Do not waste the $3. Take your money directly to trash and deposit it there. You will be better off. Makes us sick in this day and time what people try to pull off as quality.
Dont waste your money, this game is a scam, they dont even change the way of control when they move to mobile, unplayable.
Deberan colocar mas juego de la saga.
Please add saturn mode. Sega saturn is not comeback again… Please add saturn plus mode…
Great game havent played this in a while , it works perfectly with our MFI controller.
Castlevania SOTN has always been one of our favorite PS1 games. We’ve fondly talked about it for the past 20+ years to other gamers since we’ve first played it. We deeply regretted selling it, only wanting to buy another copy of it. (In which it is selling between $80-several hundred dollars.) Initially seeing it available in the App Store, we were skeptical. Could it really transfer well to an iPhone &/or iPad? Would we even like SOTN as much as we did in the past? The answer is an emphatic YES! To both questions. We tip our hat to Konami and Apple for making this a reality. We hope they will also release Harmony Of Dissonance, as well as Aria Of Sorrow. Please may it be, and thank you for bringing SOTN back as it once was.
Since Nintendo wont make it portable and we cant carry our PS4 around to play this will do. This will do. Richters controls felt sluggish having to jump and whip in the opening but Ill get used to that with practice. Alucard feels great with touch controls. 5 stars for portability and nothing else, our favorite Metroidvania game!
Anybody that says this game is not a 5 out of 5 flawless enjoyable masterpiece is a foolish hooligan. What more could you possibly want? This is the best design and development of any game period. Its a work of art. Koji Igarashi achieves the absolute pinnacle of a style: perhaps more enjoyable than anything imagined past, present, or future… Before mankind was cannibalized by his own technological immersion. If you cant understand that… You are the machine. So bite us, pervert.
We were so suprised that this is the EXACT game from PlayStation 1! We are ecstatic because this game brings back a lot of great memories playing this with our brothers growing up so of course we shared it with them and now we are all playing it and just having a wonderful time.
Love the actual full screen and no silly border. Sometimes we play on the big screen to reveal the giant pixel glory! Kudos for being able to play as both Richer AND MARIA! (Start a new game with the name Maria) This would NOT be playable o be without controller support. Its implemented perfectly, unlike the garbage port of bloodstained.
The game is super fun. The multiple pathways and different items make the game very fun. The only real problem is that the controls are a bit weird at first but it is easy to get used to.
First off we love the game it takes us back to our childhood thank you Now we have an issue with the left statue in the clock room not opening please fix because this prevents progress.
So hard to play as Maria and Richter but the gameplay is so worth the money and time spent trying to clear the map. Best game on the IOS store right now hands down.
Great quality of life changes for mobile including improved controls for touch screen, now bring it to steam !
The original voice acting sucked and they didnt just change it. They changed the voice acting when they ported it to the psp so thats nothing new. The new touch screen menus are great. Id recommend playing it on a bigger model of we phone. We can see why you would have trouble playing it on a smaller model. Personally we see no flaws with this port and if you are new to the game we highly recommend down loading this. Its a great port and a great game. Konami finally did something right. They have really let us down over the years and we hope this is a sign of change. Side note. The ps1 version was a bad port anyway and was unfinished.
Touch screen control is Ok to us. We were able to beat the game with 200.7% exploration rate with no issue. The developer is considerable enough to translate some difficult combos/magics into single touchscreen buttons which is really helpful.
Hopefully theyre all going to be released. Dont even think about it – GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY! Support games like this. Now that thats aside. Castlevania is one of the greatest platform games ever EVER, PERIOD. Sorry for the caps, just excited, please release the rest.
This is absolutely one of our favorite games ever. We love everything about it, even the soundtrack. We were HOOKED from the moment we started playing.
Great game!!! We played in PS1 and now we can play it in our iPhone. We hope you can do an Apple TV version. Thanks.
The music is awesome, The game plays fantastic, once you get used to the controls, superb! We think Richter is a little OP, but hey, its all good!
