Castlevania Tactics (idea)

What if they did a tactical style castlevania game?

They could have some sort of storyline where Dracula is finally able to ressurect and he ends up destroying all of modern civilization. His army of darkness is hunting down all the remaining survivors but what he doesn't know is that the same power that brought him back to life also revived all of the previous Belmonts. So you get to take control of all the Belmonts in a tactical style rpg as you fight your way to Dracula's castle to finish him off for good. The enemies would be the most gruesome ever and they would be led by one of the bosses from the past games along with new bosses or other lesser vampires (all bosses would be represented.)You could have cutscenes where the characters tell about their own journey and only someone who played the game would remember it. This would allow for much more character development and perhaps allow them to straighten up their story. Bleh, just an idea.

Nowadays you are either a graphics whore or a fanboy. BR is Shank not CV. It is ridiculous to think that it is better than CV. If it was CV then it would be what RE4 is to Resi, a series killer. Dumb it down and make it look pretty. Enough idiots will buy it.

Uhhhhhh......

No.

If all Belmonts were revived (kinda a dumb idea to begin with) then Dracula would be screwed. It only takes one Belmont to defeat the count. Even with a world of evil creatures, all previous Belmonts is still overkill.

Belmonts: GRAND CROSS X 12
Dracula: OH NO! ITS OVER 9000!!!

Etc.

Just an idea. The current gameplay has become stagnant. And Dracula wouldn't be such a pussy like he has been in past games. They could also change up the battle style from tactical to sidescroll fights, and 3-d exploration. They won't do it though but I hope they make some improvements in whatever they do.

I like your idea! But i think it would be better off without the story you described behind it.

A side game with no storyline elements, just fighting or a unique battle system would be great for the series!  8)

I agree, fighting multiple bosses at a time would kickass too.

I don't think this style can get along with Castlevania.

ANY style can get along with castlevania (or anything else for that matter) its all about how its done.

As for this idea it might be cool but Im not a RTS or TBS kinda guy so I really couldnt say Id be into it.

I agree with you on that. I think it could be done with the right developers, and it's really not such a bad idea since a lot of fans might dig it, but I personally couldn't imagine myself ever getting into it...

Doesn't have to be all Belmonts, there are more than the Belmonts who are Vampire Hunters. Get me programmers and such and I'll plan it out for you >.> <.< >.> ... yea I like the easy stuff lol.
