Topic	Is Castlevania a "horror game franchise"?
Epyo 10/30/21 7:56:36 PM #49:	KamikazePotato posted... To me, Castlevania is horror-themed much more than it is horror. Yeah. For example, if someone was "a fan of horror games", nobody would ever say "oh then you should play Castlevania, it will be right up your alley". 'Cause when it comes to video games, when we say "Horror", we only really use that word to refer to gameplay, not theme. That's just how it is, in the world of video games. I think the only argument that Castlevania is horror, is basically an argument of "sure, why not, I could see it". But in practice, nobody would ever use the word "horror" to explain Castlevania to someone. --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan!
