All Castlevania games in release and chronological order

It hath been one hundred years since the last time Count Vlad Tepes Dracula dared show his pasty face, but with the premiere of Netflix’s Castlevania: Nocturne animated series on the immediate horizon, it might be good to revisit the ongoing conflict between Drac and the Belmont Clan.

In this guide, we’ll be catering to two separate kinds of fans — those who wish to play the Castlevania series in the order it was released and those who wish to play the series in chronological order. To us, it doesn’t really matter which order you decide to play them, so long as you play them.
