This was one of the few 3D Castlevania games I'd liked (Lament of Innocence being the other), I played it with my mom as a kid and I'd absolutely loved the combat system. The pet system as well I thought was super interesting, especially with how pet evolutions were tracked via your combat style.
I have extremely fond memories of sinking hours and hours into it on the ps2; I always loved it and found it to be a perfectly fine castlevania game with some cool ideas; It has its issues (Isaac for one, how ridiculously big the individual rooms can be for another) but its full of mysticism, atmosphere and fun castlevania lore that gets overlooked completely.

I played this game as a child, and as a Castlevania fan, I loved the game instantly. The crafting system and the Devil Forging are very nice and add a special touch to this game. The combat is nice and the soundtrack is amazing. Definitely an underrated gem that deserves a chance.

The best story of the franchise, a unique game mechanics with the familiars and the craft system, the peak of 3D castlevania boss fights, one of the best soundtracks of all and a wonderful horror atmosphere, the game have some problems like the corridor level design, but in the end, It is an underrated gem that must be preserved, and i'll never forget the first time i finished it.

The Castlevania-Pokémon 3D that turned out really well! Hector and Isaac are incredible characters, the Innocent Devils system and the weapon forging are simply amazing, the game design has evolved a lot in relation to Lament of Innocence, Ayami Kojima's character design continues to be incredible and Michiru Yamane's music is as always fascinating! This work of art, along with Lament of Innocence, has to get a PC version urgently!

The best 3D Castlevania game ever, with very good game design ideas! Played it when i was a kid and i always found it an underrated gem. I hope that new generations will discover it thanks to you, to make them fall in love with one of the best videogame series of all time!
Best combat system ever created. You have minions that will evolve according to the weapon you use, so you are stimulated to use different weapons all the time. This is one of the best games I have ever played.
This game was my first experience with the Castlevani franchise and I fell in love with it. I loved every single aspect of the game, and I remember not beign able to put it down.
Those games also need your vote!
