Inspired by the old Universal Monster movies from the 1930s, Konami crafted their own fangtastic gothic masterpiece in video game form. Starting out with an action platforming game, Castlevania has evolved numerous times since its original title, employing more RPG elements and pushing exploration over linear progression. It became partly responsible for the popularity and naming of the sub-genre, Metroidvania; a combination of Metroid and Castlevania. Unfortunately, much like Metal Gear Solid, Konami has allowed the gaming side of the franchise to slowly dry up, making it unclear what’s next for the series. Here is Every Castlevania Video Game Ranked from Worst to Best.
