Backwards Castlevania

What if they did Castlevania backwards?
(Explanation...)
You start off the game with all your skills and the first fight is with Drac's final form. You beat him and make your way back to the entrance, fighting progressively weaker enemies and losing your skills along the way until you come to a little bone throwing skeleton outside the castle. Kill it and you have completed the game.

I understand this is stupid but if they magically did it how would you feel? (this is probably better than the topic I was going to make about Alucard crapping his pants during the final boss...)

well it depends, do you keep your level from when you start and what level do you start with?

If you keep your level at when you beat the final boss back, its stupid... if not, its still stupid, if you start with lvl 1 or something at teh final boss and can't beat it because of teh nemy' sheer power, then its stupid, but then again if you de level as you progress (or degress) its stupid.

But playing it at all willprobably make me feel stupid >.>

Well, I suppose the bulk of the merit afforded this idea must stay within the realm of concept...otherwise, it'd be a little pointless

...Yea, the point was how you would feel. Not how it would work. (Because it is a fuckin stupid thing that doesn't exist and never will)

I would probably have a "WTF" face the whole time I played it.

If you know it's a stupid idea and will never happen why even make a thread about it and come across as a moron?

That actually sounds really, really cool. Start at a particular level and then level down the more enemies you kill and the further down you get.

I'd play it. Sounds nice.

Dunno leveling down would be kinda weird and i could see people avoiding battles just to reach the end of the castle on level 99 and slaughter all of its guards with zero effort. :P

To see this concept in action would be to take a complete playthrough of Castlevania for the NES and watch it backwards.

..said the moron that quoted the wrong post.

Look, I already explained it. If you can't read or understand simple english then don't post.

I have a better idea. How about a backwards Castlevania where you start out as Dracula, but you have no powers or shit and have to recover your full power (and your castle) and then in the end of the game you have to go to Belmont's village and kill him. Oh, and steal his wife. Now that game would kick ass.
