![How to powerup Alucard in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair [re-upload]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cRwRel937kc/mqdefault.jpg)
I cannot believe they've never released this for the Switch or something. I'd run the HELL out of this game, even today. This was a FANTASTIC game!
yeah no shit, this was one of my favorite Castlevania games. I lost sleep playing it on the 360 when I was in high school
@@sN0WsT4RI lost girlfriends, jobs, sleep, weight, and interest In any game I played afterwards.
wonder how well it runs on a steamdeck :D
i play it tons on my pc now. and forgot how tough it was solo.
It's so calming listening to JupiterClimb narrating all of the run.
One of the most underrated Castlevania games of all time, had no idea there was a speed running scene for HoD until now 😮
Even as a huge CV fan I had no idea that it even existed, so that's probably part of it. reading the wiki I can see why though, it was xbox only with a PS3 port that was only released just before the ps4 came out, so released SUPER late as an online-only title in the console's lifespan and never ported to anything else.
It also looks like it got pretty terrible reviews, which I do understand why, while it's a cool speedrun it honestly looks like the kind of game that's only moderately fun for a hour or two casually to get through the levels then that's it, it's missing the exploration and progression that castlevania games had moved on to since cv2/sotn and as a level based CV game honestly it looks more fangame than a real CV level, they're all over the place, no tight level design like you see in stuff like rondo or super CV 4.
I wish that they could put this on Steam
There's a speedrunning scene for basically every game; even ones that don't have endings
Nice pop, bro.
@@1Raptor85 This game is not meant to be played as a normal Castlevania. It's a game where you play with multiple people online and grind for the best weapons or spells available. Hell, trying to 100% Soma alone would take a looooong time. But with other people is such a fun game
It's criminal this game isn't easily playable on modern consoles. So many fond memories of playing this game back in the day.
This game needs a PC re-release. One of the games I played the most on the PS3.
Love this game, wish they would've continued with this idea. Great run!
I miss this game a lot, I used to play it on 360 so much
I loved playing this game back in the day. It won't happen, I know, but I really wish Konami re-released this game on modern consoles or made a sequel.
The only funny thing is that I remembered that they nerfed Valmanway. Bosses got a invencible window after getting hit, so you weren't able to melt them with huge damaging multi-hits... that change was made along with the first DLC. But here he was able to melt Beelzebub with Alucard.
Woah I didn't know this existed, this is very interesting. It feels almost like you're inside of a diorama for a castlevania map.
if jupiter is commenting i'll watch it
this was such an amazing run thanks for this!
Love this game, on stage 10 i always use the elevating platforms glitch with soma to get to the boss. Great showcase with every character maxed out.
This is extremely recent for an old and left-out game like this. I miss Harmony of Despair so much
Run of this GDQ for me. CVHD is the absolute best, the wacky tricks are just so fun to pull off, much as I can only do funny Jonathan edge boosts and that Stage 2 Richter leap. Especially loved the Imp trick in Stage 3 too
loved this game with friends
The second Castlevania game I managed to finish. Lots of fond memories 🥲
I always felt like I missed out on this games multiplayer scene being alive
it was off the chain. I would stay up until 3-4am on school nights playing with people from all over the world
Watching this speedrun was awesome!
It does make me a little sad that there isn't any more castlevania games like these.
This game could do with a new release with more content!
A quick follow up comment is Soma also has 1 of the most broken builds because of also being able to equip a certain weapon. Although I got to say some of the Zips in the game are actually a bit easier to do casually then you would think.
The Castlevania game I always wanted to play but never could.
I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game. Can't say that about any other Castlevania. I honestly feel like the majority of people who hate this game haven't actually beat the first stage.
I loved this game I miss it 😢
Utterly obsessed with this game. Anyone wondering if you can still play it, yes you can, on all Xbox consoles
Play this game on my 360 still. There’s still some people playing it. I always get some teammates
God I want this game ported to pc or switch!!! I think it would still get a lot of love now a days, maybe Konami is just waiting to release a ds collection before reviving this game to something like the switch 🤞
WOOOOOOOO!!!!
8:05 "I'm a little jealous."
And the runner is Julius >:3
43:48 Unrelated to HoD but still a terrific skit.
I loved this game when it came out and still do. Why the F tsunami hasn't thought to re-release the game on modern systems for a quick and easy buck I will never understand.
I miss this game so much they need to re-release it or make a sequel
This is probably an even better solo castlevania on hard difficulty than many others, as the difficulty will challenge even the Dracula X veterans.
I tried once in multi and without an headset it's pretty bad imho.
Amazing run btw !
I swear Konami is sitting on free money by not porting this damn game to PC. I will gladly grind Sonic Boots a third time.
Are the HoD servers still up for PS3/PS4 online play ?
Yeah
Is this game still on xbox? I just got a 360.
Can we get a switch and steam port
S TIER RUN
ryokutsuki is actually in yugioh.
its a zombie card :D
The S-Tier interview LOL
You can play this if you have a series X/S. Im playing it lol
I have max Simon, max whip too, and he doesn’t
Still playable on xbox series x
The poor gold chest rewards were too real.
Idk I always hated this game! Instead of them following up on Symphony of the night which was a masterpiece, they come up with this clusterfuck of a mess.
But they... did...
Aria, Portrait, Dawn, Ecclesia, Mirror of Fate...
hey what? there were over a dozen castlevania games released between symphony of the night and this, and like half of them are clearly following up on SotN
it doesn't look as slick as the other games, even though they're reusing all these timeless asetts, something about the animations just feels off
They followed up Symphony with several excellent GBA and DS Castlevania games which have great systems themselves and stand the test of time too. This is a different style, which was also awesome.
But they did follow up SotN: all 3 games on the GBA are more or less in its footsteps, Circle of the Moon less so than Harmony of Dissonance or Aria of Sorrow, but still. And they even kept it up on the DS.
SotN carried through a LOT of the series, just not the set-top console releases.
