Take the Castlevania Quiz!

Take the Castlevania Quiz!

There's a lot to know about Konami's long-running series about vampires and their hunters.

Honestly, this quiz doesn't even come close to scratching the surface - we'd probably need 50 questions for an in-depth Castlevania quiz. But consider this quizlet a tasty appetizer before diving into our review of Castlevania - Harmony of Despair. While we're on the subject, why is it that Castlevania games seem to have such emo subtitles? Must be a vampire thing.

As always, you can take as long as you like to complete the quiz, and even retake it if you don't manage 100% on your first try, but keep in mind that your cumulative time will affect your position on the leaderboards.

Got your garlic? Holy water? Whip? Then let's go!

40%. Bah, it was a good while ago that I did a quiz were I actually didn't have to guess.

 

[OblivionSoul]

ranked 3rd! woo hoo!

 

[WilliamRLBaker]

10th I was too busy doing other things.

 

[Marmooset]

"5: At what point did the series stop being Castlevania, and start being like every other adventure title?"

 

[erbkaiser]

30%. Haven't played any of the post-NES games

 

[Jared]

30% ...in my defense only really ever had a passing intrest...

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

90%.

Damn Simon's Quest question...

Never played the old ones. Started with Dawn of Sorrow. Went back for the GBA games, and then got SOTN and HoD off the Xbox marketplace.

 

[BlueHighwind]

100%!!! 8th (for now)!!

I've never gotten a perfect score in any of these quizzes ever: and I've only played the DS games and the remake of Symphony of the Night. I totally had to guess with that stupid Captain N question - if you aren't like fifty years old, how can you possibly know the answer to that? Being old shouldn't be an advantage here. Even so, God was on my side! My day is made.

 

[Harlemura]

Whoa, 50%.
Not bad, considering I was only sure on one question and have no interest in Castlevania apart from what the Angry Video Game Nerd's mentioned.

 

[Syntax Error]

The "What is a man?" question gave me a little chuckle XD.

 

[HarmanSmith]

I tried the demo of Harmony. I have a big TV and the camera is still zoomed out too far. It kind of makes things a little more impersonal when your character appears so small.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

30%

What I expected, seeing as the last time I played a Castlevania game was when I was a wee lad, and I didn't even bother getting past the first Boss.

[sub]Not my fault Cerberus unnerved the 'Ell out of me[/sub]

So... yeah, that's about it actually.

 

[Jikuu]

Got 6th, but I played most of the CastleVania games and read about the ones I didn't. I wish I could ignore the CV64s. I can't say that I'm thrilled about this new game, because I worry that it's going to look like just another action game, although I understand that they don't want to do yet another MetroidVania.

 

[dalek sec]

I got 9/10 on my first try!

The only one I screwed up on was number 9 though, that wasn't as hard as I thought it would have been.

Putting aside for a moment that what you just said was incredibly insulting and rude, you could always just look it up. We've never said that cheating isn't an option on one of our quizzes. It just adds to your overall time.

 

[PureChaos]

30%. seeing as i've only played the 2 that were on the N64 (and not played them for many years) and had to guess every question, that's not too bad

 

[ritchards]

Ha! 0%! Not even scored a point by dumb luck! Suck it, vampires!

 

[Canadamus Prime]

50% first try 60% unintentional second try. Not bad considering I know next to nothing about Castlevania.

Edit: Yay! 100%! ...after 4 tries.
