I think Soma and Charlotte will always be my favorite protagonists Charlotte, because Portrait of Ruin was the first Castlevania game I beat. And I heard from somewhere that Charlotte was bad and weak (not true btw) so I beat the entire game just using Charlotte, and it was really fun. And Soma because I beat DOS right after POR and I love his story and design. Also he's...just very pretty.

glad Stella and Loretta got their own official mode, though Serio's Castlevania Fighter really improved them letting them stand, walk, crouch, and other thngs, even float, and much more balanced and interesting movesets. Desmond's sisters Zoe and Dolores Belmont should have been able to fight and be playable.

I love Sonia, and it's such a damn shame that she's not canon... she's the only woman (if I'm not mistaken) among the Belmonts! It's such a shame that the DC game was canceled... Juste is a really nice character, his dash allows you to cross locations very quickly, he has magic books, various modifiers for the whip... I had a lot of fun playing as him! a very great character. Alucard in SotN, along with Soma from AoS and DoS, are probably the two best characters in the series, as they both have an interesting story and a bunch of nice gameplay mechanics and features... And Shanoa, yes, a powerful woman and a great character.

So in POR it's revealed use of the whip can kill its wielder due to bloodline. Such was the fate of John Morris. So is this characteristic of the whip in any way tied to Richter being corrupted by Shaft's influence?

One of the coolest things about the Castlevania games is all of them (with exceptions) are pretty self contained. You can play whichever game looks like it will interest you the most and still have a great time with them. However most all of the Castlevania games are connected, so if you want to experience them fully and understand references/callbacks/setting up events for the future you can also play them in chronological order or release order. It’s really up to you. I’d recommend playing what looks the coolest to you! This could honestly be a whole video topic haha
