Ranking Castlevania games

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I confess I'm still playing Castlevania Dominus Collection. Very recently I gotten map completion in the DS Castlevania games. I officially done the process on all seven 2D metroidvania Castlevania games. I figured for fun as well as attempt get it out my system. I got a lot of Castlevania rankings.

No I don't plan to rank every aspect of these games. Which would've been a very lengthy blog entry.

2D Metroidvania Castlevania games
7. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
6. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
5. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
4. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
2. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
1. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

I felt to me, Dawn of Sorrow done just enough to best the two metroidvania games everyone talks about.

Favorite ranking
7. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
6. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
5. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
4. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
3. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
2. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
1. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

It really came back to small things, Aria of Sorrow was virtually perfection.

Map completion process
7. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
6. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
5. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
4. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
3. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
2. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
1. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

I know what a surprise, Portrait of Ruin with the insane 1000% map completion. Ended up being the most satisfying map completion among them.

Ranking main characters
7. Shanoa (Order of Ecclesia)
6. Juste (Harmony of Dissonance)
5. Nathan (Circle of the Moon)
4. Jonathan and Charlotte (Portrait of Ruin)
3. Alucard (Symphony of the Night)
2. Soma (Dawn of Sorrow)
1. Soma (Aria of Sorrow)

Soma in either game was mind blowing awesomeness.

Ranking secondary playable characters
7. Richter Mode (Symphony of the Night)
6. Sisters Mode (Portrait of Ruin)
5. Maxim Mode (Harmony of Dissonance)
4. Julius Mode (Aria of Sorrow)
3. Albus Mode (Order of Ecclesia)
2. Julius Mode (Dawn of Sorrow)
1. Richter Mode (Portrait of Ruin)

This came down to hairs, Richter Mode was incredibly fun.

Ranking overall maps
7. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
6. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
5. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
4. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
2. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
1. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Considering Portrait of Ruin had ten maps, all of them were quite enjoyable to play.

Ranking Death boss fights (strictly Death)
7. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
6. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
5. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
4. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
3. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
2. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
1. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

I do enjoy every Death boss fight, Aria of Sorrow still ended up being my favorite.

Ranking Dracula boss fights
4. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
3. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
2. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
1. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (True Dracula)

True Dracula is essentially a fusion of Dracula and Death. But this final boss fight was so great, I couldn't leave it off.

Ranking final bosses
7. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Maxim and Dracula's Wraith)
6. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Menace)
5. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Shaft and Dracula)
4. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (Dracula)
3. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (Chaos Entity)
2. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Dracula)
1. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Death and Dracula/True Dracula)

You had to face two of the toughest bosses at once. Then the concept goes further with a fusion of True Dracula making a truly epic finale.

Keep in mind, stuff like this people likely differ in their opinions. You are only see my opinion here. Once again probably for the third time, I highly recommend playing these Castlevania games.
