Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls for Positive User Reviews
✓ Elvis fan 57Nice game runs well on the iPhone 12 Pro, haven’t got a clue what I’m doing, but I’m sure I’ll find my way round the game, nice graphics can’t fault it.👍.Version: 1.0.0
✓ We need a PC port!This is the only mobile game I have ever taken the time to review. As an avid Castlevania fan, it has been many years since I have had so much excitement for the series. This game is amazingly well put together, and remarkably has a canon story. With controller support already implemented, this game deserves a PC port like Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links. No Castlevania fan should miss out on this game. It is not your average mobile title, while there are daily login bonuses and a little bit of gotcha game devices, it looks like everything in the game can be obtained through gameplay, and there is no time limit to how much you can play other than daily trials missions. It’s great to see characters throughout the timeline interact with each other and the gameplay is great. The touchscreen controls work about as good as you can make touchscreen controls, but there is complete controller support worked into the game. Overall, this game honestly is a masterpiece. The only shame is that this game is only available on mobile, and more specifically, only the apple arcade. I would pay money ($10-20) for a PC port of this game with update support. I’m talking to you, Konami!!! Between the success Super Smash Brothers, Netflix, and the new Getsu Fuuma game, you know that the people want more Castlevania! A PC/Switch port of this game is the next step!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great Castlevania, hampered by its original designThe game is built from the ground up with micro transactions and grind in mind. Sadly that degrades an otherwise excellent Castlevania experience. Thankfully with Apple Arcade you can ignore the purchases and enjoy the game. Once you get past that and start to understand its systems, the game is actually excellent. There is lots to do, the graphics are gorgeous and the story is simple fun. Worth a play for fans of Castlevania..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Fun and addictiveI love the game and have played significantly more on my phone than I ever have because of it. Being able to play the different characters and evolve them is amazing. The short narratives is a bit week and silly but the game play makes up for it. Please make another chapter!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Great game, but repetitive and a grindVery fun and addicting game. Slash and walkthrough different environments kind of gameplay. The system of obtaining materials and weapons/armor to upgrade is good but very limited because after you reach a certain point, you can’t progress any more without a ridiculous amount of grinding for materials and experience. If the game could be fixed somehow to remove the need to grind the same levels over and over to progress, it would be a five star 100%..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Totally amazing, epic game, loved it! Best I ever playedI have not played it yet, I know it is super good, probably as good as a sunny day in the rain. The graphics are insane, like really close to average or even better! I have the game a 5 star rating cause it earned it. Ya, all I have done is hit the “install” button, but that was an entire moment of fun which deserves the 5 stars! Really, just the graphic change from “install” to “downloading” was better than a root canal! Eventually, when my slow WiFi completes the download, maybe by next week, I’ll be able to actually try the game. So excited cause this really is the best game of the year, I think, I hope, I mean…. Well I’m gonna quit my job to play this 24/7 I think!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Enjoyed it immensely!Loved the original title and this was even better! Almost finished the game now, with my favorite weapons maxxed out after the recent bug fix returning the shop's items. Lookig forward to the next title in this franchise..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Superb. Simply Superb.Castlevania is one of the best franchises in gaming history and this game for IoS is so good that you must sink your teeth into it. Great graphics in both the game itself and cut scenes. Everything ticks along nicely and it's the Castlevania that those who have played before will love and newcomers will take it to the heart. The only piece of advice I would give is make sure you use a controller. It makes the game even better. Overall this is a superb game..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Lots to do and lots to killI've been playing for a few days now and rather enjoy it. Learning the characters and which differ, some more than others, is easy and the moves come naturally on screen or controller. The difficultly options are a great addition. The defaults is pretty easy but with a few tweaks you can get extra loot and make things more challenging. If you enjoyed the series thus far I think this game should be no exception and offer hours of entertainment for you..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Something Old and Something NewLet me start by saying that I’m writing this review as a counterpoint to the other reviews already posted (writing reviews before actually playing the game, misrepresenting the actual gameplay, making assessments before getting past the tutorial). If you are a fan of 2d side scrollers AND a fan of Castlevania games on the Gameboy Advanced, you will love this game. If you didn’t care for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, then you probably won’t enjoy much here. The familiar gameplay is here, with the added replay value of playing as different characters from the Castlevania legacy. Add to this the flexibility of trying different weapons and armor, along with the mission system and you get a gaming experience that is perfectly tuned to the controller-less mobile experience (using a controller is totally worth it). If this is your first “Castlevania”, you will definitely want to play all the classics. When you finish this game, spend the money on SOTN..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Ahh, Castlevania, I’ve been expecting you to return as unimaginative Arcade rubbish.I’d never have discovered SHINSEKAI: Into the Depths, if I hadn’t been searching for Castlevania type games, so that was a huge bonus. It’s about as welcome back as the new Contra. There’s no thought or mystery to it. It’s a shame that this passes for a Castlevania game as they were all about mystery and exploration, this is like Contra, just a dumbed down version of an absolute classic. Disappointed doesn’t begin to cover it to be honest, there’s pretty much nothing of the original here. No secrets to discover, no hidden areas, it’s just a beat ‘em up run and play..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Not as bad as it seemsI’ve been playing this game for a while now, and it’s really not that bad. For reference the main type of game that I play is platformer type games. I’m a huge fan of the originals and still play them often. This game does have a lame currency system, but it is pretty generous. And the currency mechanics really aren’t that complicated once you figure it out. The Castlevania lore is here, and it’s actually kind of fun once you find a character you like and learn their weapons and stuff. It has good graphics and music..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Solid GameI don’t know what people are talking about when it comes to having to wait or saying it’s too grindy. I literally just beat the 5th boss and am waiting for an update that lets me continue on to more levels. Once you get the flow of the game it becomes easy to strategize and figure out how to make your character stronger. One of the most important things to do is utilize all aspects of the game which means training, summons, etc. Overall I think this is a solid game and it has a pretty good difficulty as well. I’m excited for the update so I can keep playing further levels!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Weirdly relaxing Castlevania NoveltyIf you’re a fan of the Castlevania series lore, this game is for you. The gameplay is engaging, but the level up system takes a lot of getting used to. It’s not a game you can just rush into, and it takes a bit of time investment, but is simplistic enough you can put it down for many months and pick it up later if you get bored..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Very mobile-game faire, but not bad.Castlevania fans are all too familiar with their bad blood for Konami, but I don’t think they deserve to be bitten this time. Setting aside the mobile gatcha and cookie-cutter systems, this older freemium is a decent adaptation. That being said, if you’re looking for Castlevania on mobile, you’ll want to grab Symphony of the Night, the only mainline Castlevania currently available on IOS, and arguably the best in the series. There’s also Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, a Castlevania-style series by the creator of Castlevania, but the performance on IOS is reportedly lackluster..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Finally, a Real GameIt’s a great time to be a castlevania fan. Thank you for a real game. I’m 29 in the information/collapse era; I don’t have time for mediocre software. This game respects the original IP and builds on it perfectly for a mobile game. So turn on the latest season of the Castlevania animated series, boot up this game (or if you have a PS5 controller, pair it up and play ‘Symphony of the Night’ instead), and enjoy the sexy gender-fluid magic that is Alucard. Devs - Please don’t stop here. Keep going!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Exactly what I want in an Apple Arcade game.I remember a few years ago when Apple sent out a survey asking about Arcade. I said I wanted more in-depth games, and my wife wanted more casual, and I thought at the time they were trying to mix them both too much. My wife has a lot of arcade games she regularly plays, and I’ve found my more complex, grindy f2p-style game I actually want, but don’t have to spend IAP for. Plus it’s Castlevania! The downsides I see from some people are upsides for me. I enjoy f2p models with a cheat mode turned on! Great game, wish the rating was higher so they were encouraged to make more, but I hope even something like this helps. Great job Konami for making it and Apple for buying it outright!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Fun gameOverall I seem to be enjoying it. It’s a long grind, and some characters perform best with a controller over the touch screen, but it hasn’t really bothered me that much. (Charlotte needs a controller to be at her best, on touch it is difficult to aim high and shoot or even run and power up then jump and shoot, on the controller it is easy) Also on touch I never use the dash attacks or dodge because it doesn’t trigger all the time. On the controller it is just another button so triggers all the time. Another plus is that I can use it offline with barely any noticeable delay once the game is loaded. So the hour train to and from work can be fun. Towards the last couple chapters the difficulty levels jump so fast it’s hard to keep up. Rare Weapon pulls seem to be better with the last update, and the boost in simple searches will help too, so that’s fine. I’m curious how the restart is after beating the game, but I know it’ll take a bit to get there. Thanks for a fun game!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Enjoyable action gameI have found Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls to be a good action game with a mix of old and new styles. Yes, it has auto-attack... but if you use that you will find it harder to complete levels. It is a successful conversion of a microtransaction game to Apple Arcade. I have played previous versions and this is not a remake of the original. It is a separate game with a focus on matching weapon & armour sets to opponents whilst keeping precision timing for attacks and jumping. If you have Apple Arcarde, give it a go... as it doesn't cost anything more to try it..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Great game but…Just wanted to input my two cents and say that being a long time Castlevania fan that this game is wonderfully done. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is some sort of zoom in feature as of course I got to wear glasses and would like to see it as one of those classic games in scale of what was shown on the screen. Other than that a wonderful game, only one issue I have is that my save data was rolled back I was on the third book and about half way through and lost all my progress. Is there anyway to get this back? Thanks..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Can’t wait for moreGreat game, hope this will lead to another console game though, especially since the last game we had was 7 years ago. Love the Castlevania series so can’t wait for more.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Could have been 5/5I have to admit that this game is indeed an amazing Castlevania title to play, even though it lacks as much fun storyline from its prior titles; don’t expect a full on map. This is Apple Arcade Style in which you go about clearing stages with 3 missions assigned. They stayed true in terms of difficulty. The one thing that keeps me from giving this game a 5 star is the screen controls. It’s almost impossible to enjoy this game to its fullest without a controller such as Backbone or Kishi. The screen controls will sometimes result in an accidental jump, slide or failure to evade. Also, there are times the skills are just plain hard to use. With the controller I was able to enjoy the fullest potential of this game..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Allow level boss replay for Soma and AnnetteWish we could replay fights against Soma and Annette which after passing levels disappears. Maybe adding a button to allow story replay with bosses would be great..Version: 1.2.0
✓ A Castlevania ClassicWhat a fantastic game. This is Castlevania at it’s best. Well worth the Apple Arcade subscription on its own. Brilliant graphics, brilliant gameplay, brilliant game..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Actually not badNot bad at all and I LOVE that they actually want you to put a bit of effort in to unlock things rather than pay to play, gives a better sense of connection to the game. Sometimes the rolls dont make sense like doing a 10x summon with not even a purple but for instance like today I got 2x 5 star weapons on a 10x summon. The special mission is kinda weird like I can't progress till I claim 10 logic bonuses, minor but to me just weird considering it took only 6 days to beat whats currently playable and get 3 skulls on every mission. I cant wait to see whats next the story is good and feels just like a better version of the original in terms of combat, weapon/element types, enemies and bosses/mini bosses, overall a good way to get into the castelvania series if you're unfamiliar and a good way to pass time. It will definitely feel weird and confusing at first how things work but after awhile trust me you'll be 1 shotting common enemies and 5 shotting bosses in no time. In 6 days already 38k overall equip level with alucard and rank 27. Would recommend.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Amazing Game (First time user)I’m fairly new to the Castlevania series in general, but I love playing the game so much. I am very impressed with what they managed to do to a game that used to be a Gacha and improved on it in several ways. This especially rings true with the recent update for the Holidays! It gives me hope that there’ll be somewhat consistent content updates in the future which makes it worth it to keep subscribing to Apple Arcade..Version: 1.2.0
✓ A TOP APPLE ARCADE GAMEEasy top 10 on Apple Arcade, the developers keep adding more content. It’s a castlevania classic with a twist. Excellent Game! And excellent controller support on iOS, iPadOS & Mac..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Waiting for UpdateWe need to get Update for Albus, Soma, Trevor and the others Characters!!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great but battery killerThe game has good mechanics and is visually stunning but, be warned, it’s a battery killer..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Love the game, but…I had just finished a level and went back to the main play screen with the characters in the foyer area, where you can choose where to go next. The screen went black but Music was still playing. I exited out and went back in. It loaded my save and it was still black. I reset my phone and closed everything out. Loaded it. Still black with music. I have 40 hours into it. Is it something that is patchable?.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Some issueThe game is great when it comes to character controls and graphics. I am having a problem with a serious Special Mission glitch. The game will not go pass Special Mission 3 Breakdown even though I have gotten the exact Breakdown and more. It seems like they didn’t run the tests all the way through for Apple TV. I have deleted the game and downloaded it again but still the same problem exist..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Error in MissionsThere is an error when you try to do the mission “don’t let HP drop below 75%”. When you switch to alter arts, it automatically makes you fail the mission. When you fail the mission and you select the new option “play again” it wouldn’t reset the stats of the mission and it would fail regardless of if you achieved the mission the second try..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Love this game!Overall a great Castlevania experience. Lots of grinding to collect items (parchments etc) but that’s true to Castlevania fashion. My only problem is with the Elgos coins. There’s a lot of weapons and armor for sale that can only be obtained via Elgos coins and there’s no way to earn them other than daily logins and daily missions. I wish they would allow us to buy them via coins or parchments..Version: 1.1.1
✓ A GemFirst of all. More characters to come. Sounds amazing. Controls are situational. Some characters need semi auto attack on and some don’t. And some stages might switch that order. There’s a bit of input lag. You notice it the most with controllers. Touch screen still has the input lag but much more manageable. Otherwise input feels smooth all around. It’s not classic Castlevania but just as good. Each stage is only meant to occupy 3-5 minutes of your time. When you beat the stage, you’re left in a good place. Wasn’t too short, wasn’t too long. If you lose the stage it can aggro the calmest of gamers too meaning It’s easy but challenging at the same time. Progression is fair. The pulling for equipment was weird at first but if you play like it’s a regular gatcha game you will have a bad time. Save gems for what? Pull your equipment, Fuse the scrolls from the repeat equipment you pulled to make better equipment. Rinse repeat. 5* stuff will come eventually. Between weeklies, dailies, and dispatch, gems shouldn’t be a problem. Just use em! (Side note) Equipment upkeep becomes a hassle when approaching lvl 20 and above. It feels like a hassle to manage all that gear for 5 characters… and again in the game description it says new characters coming. That’s a lot of upgrade stones to farm! Awesome Game.Version: 1.0.0
✓ It’s okNot as good as the other ones i have played but still a good game, a lot of characters to choose from which is a lot of fun. When it gets to a certain point it gets a bit repetitive. But hey at least you don’t have to pay a lot of money to unlock the good stuff..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Good platforming, weird Gacha meta.The fighting is fun, I enjoy the variety of moves among the hero’s and I look forward to the story progressing and unlocking new hero’s, but it’s so weird to play a single player gacha game with no micro transactions. Also it’s only 5 books with the 6th waiting for future expansion (given this game was almost canceled I somehow doubt the dev’s are still making content for it) so it feels like it’s only half a game. Which is a shame because I’m enjoying it, want the rest of the levels..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Retro LoveMy first Castlevania experience was Simon’s Quest on NES. I love the updated retro look and feel. It does require a bit of a grind, but I’m still enjoying it. It’s a perfect mobile experience made for short or longer periods of play. So good, I bought a controller attachment for my phone just so I could play this. Konami - please keep developing this game. I would love more content. In an age where a goofy game like Homescapes can keep our attention for months on end, this is a breath of fresh air. It’s what Apple Arcade is meant to be!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ A masterful gameGoS is extremely well written. They obviously did their research, and made all of the different games fit together seamlessly. The dialogue is also rich and interesting. There are no weird translation issues or typos, and one of my favorite parts is being able to collect all the music tracks from each of the games. It’s well balanced too. It’s just challenging enough to make you excited to to replay the levels to meet all the challenges, but not so hard you just rage quit. The controls can be a little tricky but that’s just an artifact of playing on a device with no physical buttons. Well done!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Still fun.Gameplay is very much the same as the old version, though a lot has been updated. Still fun to play, but kind of annoying that the game has not been finished yet. Can only play to the end of chapter 4, and it says to wait until the next installment, whenever that is. I also remember the old version getting to the end of chapter 5, so it's not like there's nothing prepared. No news on any updates to the story line. Another thing: they got rid of a lot of the skins and other accessories. Not a problem, but I did really like them. Kind of hoping they'll still be added sometime in the future..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Finally an Apple Arcade game worthy of the subPlays superbly on iPhone. Feels exactly like it’s console counterparts and looks great. Finally a game on AA I’ve played for more than 20mins..Version: 1.0.0
✓ A cash grab that has grown to be moreThis version isn’t quite as finished as the version that was shut down a year ago, but it’s had all its microtransactions removed, leaving a lot of things to do that would normally be stretched out by limits like a pay-to-recharge stamina bar. Definitely worth downloading, it’s a ton of fun as it is and I look forward to seeing this game updated with more content!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ It’s good but can you change characterI really like this game but i think you can create your character. But other than that I like this game a lot. P.s. try not take long to answer bye bye.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great finally found a good castlevania gameI used to play castlevania on this dodgy website so I ended up getting Nintendo ds to play it but the game was really expensive so it’s great I found a good one Apple the games you make are great just like your devices also the app has 5 stars good job.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Finally a new Castlevania game :D:D:D:D:D:DWell I was going to go to sleep but guess I’m not for another hour.Version: 1.0.0
✓ A cash grab, de-cashified!!! YES PLEASE!Mobile games are getting a lot of hate, understandly so, because they are riddled with anti-consumer practices, intentionally and carefully placed hurdles to make the user more likely to spend. Which could be reasonable if there was a ceiling, say at the price of a console game but as we know, there isn't. Instead, "whales" as they are called can spend 5-6 digits into one title creating a huge gap between the f2p and moderately paying customers. Why this long intro? Well, despite these practices, some games are legitimately fun, high quality and overall quite worth playing. This game is exactly that. Sure, it follows the mobile "bite-sized" format but that doesn't make the game is any less fun and engaging. But at least now, the reward is based off of time spent, not your wallet! Worth a download and in my opinion, worth giving it some hours to really get into the game and see if you'd like to stay longer. To me, this is a perfect way for a company such as Konami to see if it's worth making that format without the whole abusive anti-consumer practice. Support this game, let the studios know that we want to play mobile games, just not when it's attached to absurd costs..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Good gameEnjoyed it. Though Im writing this review to ask when the next grimoires will be released. Pls respond developers. Also could you guys pls add an option to replay a level after it ends. That would make grinding more tolerable..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Castlevania qualityThere is a lot to get used to and initially I didn’t have a clue on upgrades and all of the other sections. But it give it time and you’ll soon know what your doing. Runs a treat on iPhone 12, great soundtrack(s), nice graphics and levels. This and World Of Demons are benchmark mobile games..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Fun game but needs to bring back bounty huntBounty hunt was such a fun multiplayer feature.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Need more gemsActually quite a nice game now you no longer have to pay for gems, decent castlevania grinder, strong replay ability, however, there needs to be more ways to obtain gems as the drop rate for the gold items are very low (there also isn’t a pity system, you could be pulling for 20/30 times in a row without a rare drop) That being said this game is the single reason why I’m keeping apple arcade subscription. Please release more gems and characters(soma cruz).Version: 1.0.0
✓ Book 4 was a shock, but skipping in the Trials fixed it.I would love to get an idea of when the rest of the game is coming out. It does keep a bunch of the f2p mechanics but the Skip button in the Trials (after you pass them with an S rating) lets you autopass them multiple times in one go which makes character and gear improvement vastly improved. I am a bit frustrated by how hard it seems to be to acquire the 5* gear but that should be rare, I suppose… All in all I enjoy it a lot although I wish that I could grind levels more efficiently than having to reload the menu screen, tap through two more screens, then reload the level just to do it over again..Version: 1.0.0
