Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls

why is it so difficult to install

It won’t let me delete it I WANT TO DELETE IT EJJOENEIje

So I have not been playing many games recently but this game is just so much fun so even though I get beat by a tough boss I just ant to keep playing and I just do not want to rage honestly you guys have done an amazing job creating this game!

This game could be much better if not for the heavy grinding, also game lags constantly! Many times I’m mid jump and get a lag spike making mid air actions almost impossible! Also lags when too many enemies are on screen!

Game crashes during starting cutscene, isn’t playable on iPhone 16 plus.

I have played almost every sidescrolling Castlevania game in the series, and while this takes some getting used to, it is super fun with a lot of replayability and room for skill expression. I still wish somehow for this game to keep going on and I hope that it doesn’t get removed from the app store anytime soon. If it does, I hope a port is released somewhere else where we can hopefully save our hard work and data. I really enjoy everything about this game, especially the story. Would love to somehow see new things added haha though I know the history of this game so it’s unlikely. Anyway, just wanted to put the review as my little way of showing support!

Such a fun game…! I would recommend because it’s easy, solid, and has great graphics. The story is well thought out and the soundtrack is outstanding. Definitely worth a five minute sesh here and there!

A lot of things in this game scream (Iga-style) Castlevania, something they clearly lean into, but Grimoire honestly suffers from the comparison in almost every way. If you are unable to play SotN or any of the gba or DS Castlevania games, this is a fair substitute. Otherwise, you’ll probably have more fun revisiting any of those games no matter how much time your spent with them prior. My understanding is that Grimoire also had a lot of gatcha and play to play/win elements previously. While the latter was removed, there are still a lot of random pulls and daily junk to do. That might be a plus for some, but I think most prefer a more traditional gaming experience. It’s also pretty grindy. That’s not really unusual in the genre (metroidvania), but you’d be a god in most games in the same time it takes you to grind for rolls for one of the 5 playable characters in Grimoire. I did play a lot of it, and finished the main playthrough (there’s also a hard mode). I’m still missing one achievement, but it’s been months and I haven’t found the motivation to pick the game back up. If I do, I’ll likely just do that and then put it away forever.

I regret not giving this more of a chance earlier. There’s so much depth and replay value. You’re going to grind but it’s fun building up each character and taking on level challenges. There’s no P2P element (at least in the Apple Arcade version). If you’re a true Castlevania fan this is a must play. Also, controls are pretty tuned for touch. It does take some adjustment to find the best layout but once you get the moves down it’s really fun! Honestly this is a 10/10 for a mobile game.

I don’t know what else to say other then this game is rally good. The lore is interesting and the art is fantastic!
