I know, I know. Ironic coming from me.
But after watching more of the Netflix series, I got more into the video games! I had already played a few before like Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night, etc. And I know of course the original games. But I've grown to start liking these games a lot! Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness are pretty good too.

Can't say I ever played any of them. They are said to be hard as balls though. The early ones anyhow.

The NES ones were impossible.
After PSN's SotN they added levelling, item & other rpg mechanics - along with Metroid maps - to become both beatable and fun.
I avoided 3D ones like Curse/Lament & the recent ones - but have beat most of the 2D efforts. Solid series, glad you're enjoying the show.

The 3D ones are great.
NES ones are crazy and difficult.
Rondo of Blood is hard but fair.
Symphony of the Night is where the series picks up imho. Adds more dimensions to the gameplay plus Alucard is probably my favorite protagonist outside of Richter Belmont.
The 3D ones are really fun hack and slashers (well, not exactly since you're using a whip). They're pretty addictive to play. Considering I love Devil May Cry games, I definitely love the 3d CV games too.

3D action is just a mixed bag for me. I was also put off by Lament & Curse coming out for different systems? PS2 & Xbox respectively, no? Though I'm sure I'll get around to them eventually.
It's a shame Konami really undercut their game division, seems to be coming back a bit now but its an uphill battle.

Praying Konamo gives up with the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series (Which honestly is mediocre imo). And does some soft reboot of the original Castlevania games maybe.
