Igarashi's New Castlevania, Sans Konami

They also learned from the Yooka-Laylee people and hyped it up a bit before it actually went live. Lots of interviews and stuff still going on as well

I think some big name industry people had to throw a lot of money at this as well because I don't think purely the hardcore fanbase was enough to reach it at the colossal level it's at now. Kojima, Miyamoto, and Ken Levine had to throw some ducketts at this.

I never played a Castlevania game before, but through to all the attention from this I decided to finally play one. I had no idea these were RPG games. Why aren't they ever brought up here when we talk about RPGs?

Are they really RPGs? I thought they just had so-called rpg elements. GTA has those too.

The first couple of games weren't RPGs. I could be wrong but I think the first Castlevania game to go the RPG route was Symphony of the Night. Or at least, the first one to be released to the states.

[Mirage]

God of war is kind of an rpg too.

[Vyk]

Well, sarcasm aside, I think it's arguably more of an RPG than something like Zelda, which is more of an RPG than God of War or GTA

Bumping this because the campaign ends in 2 days! Granted, they're well, well, WELL over their goal, but the next stretch goal is a 3rd character.

[FFNut]

Love that this is coming. Can't wait to try it!

[Del Murder]

Yeah, this definitely looks like a winner. It's so great that crowdfunding has allowed games like these to happen.

[starlet]

They passed the 5 million mark. Unbelievable

[Formalhaut]

I've heard of Castlevania but I honestly can't say I know much about them. What are they about?

[Depression Moon]

Killing dirty vamps.

Craziness. This thing made over 5,500 million dollars.
