- Castlevania Dominus Collection es un colofón genial para la trilogía de recopilaciones con la que Konami ha recuperado una parte importante de los juegos que componen una de sus sagas más queridas y respetadas. Son tres de las recopilaciones que más he disfrutado en los últimos años, con sus grandes títulos y con sus rarezas, de Kid Dracula a este Haunted Castle Revisited con el que M2 pone la guinda a un recopilatorio, el de los Castlevania de Nintendo DS, que tiene algo de crepuscular por lo que significa dentro del canon de la serie: tres juegos en los que Konami ya dominaba su fórmula con una soltura que les permitía retorcerla y malearla.
Víctor Martínez · Oct 15, 2024 Reviewed onRead full review - Αν εξαιρέσουμε τις μικρές ατέλειες και τις σχεδιαστικές δυσκολίες που υπήρξαν λόγω του ότι μιλάμε για τίτλους του Nintendo DS, θεωρούμε ότι το Castlevania Dominus Collection δεν πρέπει να λείπει από την συλλογή των fans των παιχνιδιών Castlevania. Ακόμα και για παίκτες που ψάχνονται για τέτοιου είδους τίτλους και δεν τους πειράζουν τα παλαιότερα γραφικά μίας άλλης εποχής, το πακέτο αυτό παρουσιάζει ιδιαίτερα διασκεδαστικούς τίτλους.
Έκτωρ Αποστολόπουλος · Sep 26, 2024 Reviewed onRead full review - All in all, the Castlevania Dominus Collection is a very good collection of great games from years gone by, and for the reasonably low price, it feels like storming value as well.
Paul Renshaw · Sep 23, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Bundling together three classic metroidvania format Castlevania titles originally released on the Nintendo DS, the Castlevania Dominus Collection presents excellent value for money. And with various extras thrown into the mix including art and music galleries and a remake of arcade game Haunted Castle, it's a must-have for series fans.
Richard Seagrave · Sep 23, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Even if I’m not very fond of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, I think this collection has a lot of value in it. This is when this specific kind of Castlevania game started to really branch out and experiment, with most of those experiments being very successful. This is the definitive way to play three of the most interesting Castlevanias, better than I ever dreamed they would be. I think the Nintendo DS being such an experimental console encouraged the original developers to try a lot of fun things, and I hope the feedback to these games is strong enough to make Konami want to revisit this style.
Cullen Black · Sep 22, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Konami stays winning with their compilation releases, as Castlevania Dominus Collection brings even more Metroidvania goodness to Switch players. It certainly doesn’t hurt that Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia in particular feature some absolutely banging music tracks. While we aren’t hurting for Metroidvanias on the eShop, the ones on offer here are among the finest in the genre and are all well worth the time it takes to go through them. We’re not quite into the spooky season yet, but you’d do well to add this package to your wishlist so that you’re prepared with the proper amount of skeleton-smashing entertainment ahead of Halloween.
Jordan Rudek · Sep 20, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Castlevania Dominus Collection almost flawlessly brings back a collection of games that were previously trapped on hardware that was tough to bring to new platforms. Extensive effort has gone into making sure that they suit the form factor of a home console and the effort is admirable to say the least. Some incredibly mild and brief frustrations with the remaining touch controls isn't enough to properly dethrone this game from being essential for Castlevania fans to invest in, especially with the deep cuts included here.
JOE RICHARDS · Sep 18, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Over the past five years or so, Konami has become a standard-bearer in preserving and presenting video game history. There have been bumps along the road of course, but Castlevania Dominus Collection is not just a set of ROMs grouped together that benefits from comprising all-time greats. While those games are still obviously the main attraction, the amount of effort put into making these games look and play great, then supplementing them with absurdly high quality materials (including deep cuts even a degenerate like myself was shocked to see) is revitalizing. On top of that, giving M2 the resources to bring back its own long-lost remake series in such a surprising way pushes this collection straight to the top of my must-play list not just in 2024, but in gaming as a whole.
Lucas White · Sep 18, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you’re a Castlevania fan chances are you snapped up the Dominus collection as soon as it shadow-dropped. If you missed these classics the first time and are looking for a pure-blooded Metroidvania to sink your teeth into, Castlevania The Dominus Collection is one package I highly recommend.
Gareth Newnham · Sep 13, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall, Castlevania Dominus Collection is a fantastic collection of Castlevania games. The three DS titles alone are some of the best Metroidvania action to ever exist, and having them all in one convenient package is worth it. Some minor complaints aside, they are perfectly good ports of all three games. The arcade titles are less of a draw but a nice bonus. If you're a fan of Metroidvania titles, Castlevania, or blowing up vampires with cool powers, Castlevania Dominus Collection is one of the best purchases you can make.
