If that's truely Simon Belmont, then OoS must be set on timeline where Simon failed to defeat Medusa during Haunted Castle, making Desmond his possible brother, nephew, cousin or little cousin.
I remeber when they had interviews about this game on ign, they couldnt stop saying how much of a challenge it was to code for phones back then. Of course, how much power did the 128x128 phones had back then? Fortunately the aria and dawn of sorrow ports were better (240x320 phones), and none of these ports are better than Montano's games. Zhan Yao Fumolu is a coding wonder on j2me
Trust me, the game is kind of a pain to play because of how sluggish it is. The music is pretty much the best thing about it (although flinging spells around is pretty fun).

Yeah, as a Metroidvania, because the classic Vania in this is non existent, there's also no shop or money in the game, and maybe I'll make sure that Desmond Belmont gets some love, as maybe the mechanic is that there's two weapon slots, but one of them is for the Vampire Killer tips & the other one is the subweapons except for the Cross charm, which will be a consumable item that will be in the shop for the same price as the soul eater ring from aria of sorrow. Also there would be a rival who's basically a alien.
A lot if people seem to not like this. But it looks pretty decent for the mobile market back then. Too bad you had to have specific phone models to play this at the time.
Thanks. I know of two PC emulators, KEmulator and SjBoy. In general KEmulator is better, as it has more features and stuff and you can change your control mappings. I was using SjBoy when I recorded this though, because unlike KEmulator you can change the dimensions of the screen. All in all, though, I'd recommend KEmulator.
SjBoy. KEmulator Lite tends to work better, especially since you can remap keys, but I can't figure out how to change the dimensions of the window. That's the one advantage SjBoy has over it.
33:16 "Dedicated in loving memory to friend and co-worker, Daniel Westmoreland. 1980-2006" Now I just feel bad for hating this game. This game is a hurrendous piece of shit, and I can't believe the last thing that guy worked on before he died was this lame excuse for a game. I feel sorry for him. It's sad, really :'(
Not a crappy game... this is ten years old for a mobile game... this might be the best looking and sounding game I've seen from that era of phone games...
It is normal, actually. The problem as I understand it is that cellphone games like this can't really play any sound but MIDI, and it can't play 2 MIDIs at once. Almost none of these games have sound effects, but I've heard that there are some versions of OoS that have sound effects (using weird-sounding midi-notes) if you turn the music off, but I can't find one like that.
Honestly, The Game's Last Line In Epilogue Left The Game's Future Shrouded In Mystery. It's A Cliffhanger Ending, But Yep. This Game's Good. I Personally Love It. It'd Be Nice If Miguel From MIGAMI Games Would Remake This Into A Fully Playable Game. Many May Have Not Liked It, But The Music, And Simplicity Of Controls For The Hardware, Were Its True Redeeming Factors Of This Game.
+V Guyver The sprites are very basic and "forced" they don't have the same naturalism than the other Castlevania Game series,the vampirekiller again appears but this time with a character that nobody knows(not to mention that the design is a low cost version of the other characters(Nathan Graves,Richter Belmont,etc),I know its a mobile version ,but nowadays a mobile phone can support a castlevania with better graphics and optimized sprites and not this shit. Are you happy now?,or do you need more arguments?
+blaiixer효 The weapons are horrible and basic,they aren't original as for example:Castlevania Aria of Sorrow,Symphony of the Night,etc. The enemies are the same with the character, a low cost copy,and the performance is not the best, a 2D game doesn't need a high hardware,but in this case the game is slower than a turtle,these are my arguments to argue why this game is horrible(in my opinion of course).
mobile games were primitive at this point... you are failing to consider what they had to work with, this is actually pretty good from what I was expecting from a 2000's game for phones
This has got to be one of the worst castlevania games out of the entire series franchise. Simon's quest was also another one had hard to beat without save states.

I liked this game. RasgarBlue I think I've seen the character in your user image somewhere before. It was in another cellphone game that played a lot like Castlevania and had gothic themes too. Could you please refresh my memory? Unless I'm just wrong about this whole thing?
PerfectChaosGX No, you're right. The character originally wore white and had red hair, but I recolored him. It was a Chinese series of cellphone games, of which this character (Montano Cyprus) was in the 3rd and 4th. The game has gone by several different names, originally 斩妖伏魔录. The fourth game was released in English (although horribly translated) on Android under two different names, Castle of Shadows and Avenger. I'm actually a huge fan of those games, and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. Not sure if this would interest you, but I am a contributor for a fanmade Castlevania fighting game (located at serio.piiym.net/cvbla/), and I ripped all of Montano's sprites from his original games and persuaded the devs to put him in the game as a playable character. I highly recommend the game, it's one of the best CV fan games I've ever played.
The most lagging Castlevania ever in the history of gaming, they too push it to get money out of mobile gaming which is sucks... Castlevania is about legacy, legendary, historical and awesome story not about getting dolla out in the market
Well, it is an official CV game. I imagine they called it Castlevania to sell it to Castlevania fans who didn't know any better. Still, no matter what it's called, I doubt this game will get much in the way of respect.
RasgarBlue OMG please tell me you're lying. This cannot be... I think Kogi Igarachi was fed up with all the BS people were doing to Castlevania lately that he left the company for good. I hope he brings another great side scroller series to us soon. Well, RIP Castlevania you will be remembered for the good games in the series only I guess.

Desmond must have to sit in the back during Belmont family reunions.
I think not because this games was non canon
A remake of this game has potential
Out of all the reused sprites, I was not expecting to see Simon Belmont from Haunted Castle as a statue during the medusa fight.
Viper Snake Yeah, that was great.
Nice avatar BTW.
hi

13:41 Where have I seen that sprite with the cape before?
20:34 Haunted Castle Simon
13:41 that's the sprite of Konami Man from Konami Wai Wai World. You can also find him as a collectible in Dawn Of Sorrow.
Dawn of Sorrow, that was it!

Wait they fucking ported Aria and Dawn to mobile? I hope they were at least descent
Also sorry for replying to a 6 year old comment
@@no64256 They're about as decent as you can get for games designed for GBA and DS ported onto Java
@@no64256 bible says that swearing is wrong
this Is the only castlevania game where you didn't have to hit dracula in the head to damage him
It would be too godamn hard.
I think you can hit Dracula anywhere in Circle of the Moon but I may be wrong. Oh, and theres Simon Quest...
Haunted Castle too.
Symphony of the Night, the true Dracula's form
At least Haunted Castle has a decent frame rate...
And sound effects and much better music
Trust me, the game is kind of a pain to play because of how sluggish it is. The music is pretty much the best thing about it (although flinging spells around is pretty fun).

Nope. I have seen lots of games for java phones which are more impressive than this piece of crap. No wonder it was released only in America.
so many memories of playing on w200 phone :´)
Welp hopefully they learned from this and know how to make a solid castlevania on mobile.
Ahh, back when phones were shit! Shit whose battery lasted for weeks
🙏Congratulations Castlevania Order Of Shadows!🙏
Thanks, with this video I see all the moves, thanks for all the hard work.
Hey! Can You Ask Miguel/MIGAMI To Remake This Game?! Please?
Thanks. I know of two PC emulators, KEmulator and SjBoy. In general KEmulator is better, as it has more features and stuff and you can change your control mappings. I was using SjBoy when I recorded this though, because unlike KEmulator you can change the dimensions of the screen. All in all, though, I'd recommend KEmulator.
What ??? In my memories this games is much better..... O . o
What do you expect of a game from a shitty flip phone?
Is this emulated on a PC? If so I'd love to get a DL link! I miss playing this game so much. T-T
I value my sanity
i dont play this game.
7:32 oh look, that flea man now becomes water bug man. 😂
I remember playing this my Motorola Razr flip phone back in 2005.
which emulator you are using?
SjBoy. KEmulator Lite tends to work better, especially since you can remap keys, but I can't figure out how to change the dimensions of the window. That's the one advantage SjBoy has over it.
RasgarBlue thx for the reply ;]
Looks like garbage. Thanks a lot for playing through it so I don't have to! lol

I really hope Desmond gets another chance to shine, he actually has some potential
sucks game,ost too sucks also......
cd-i zelda at least good "original"music.....
The movements seem so slow! But the music, even if MIDI, rules!
What emulator did you use to play it on a PC?!
Java emulator www.javaemulator.com you need java installed in your pc
What emulator exactly did you use? Thanks!

In Gamerthumb's Perfect Castlevania Timeline, Order of Shadows works as a prequel to Castlevania Chronicles, and Desmond is father of Simon.
The music is at least decent.
But the game is shitty, I hate it :(
No argument there.

Terrible but good music
I know this game ain't canon, but I wonder if Desmond was Simon's father or son, with the fact they both had red hair and lived in 1600's.
@@Julius1999 Now that makes sense why GamerThumbTV made Desmond Simon's father in his The Perfect Castlevania Timeline series.
Disgusting java environment. :/
This game is somehow interesting and deserves a DECENT engine.
Dracula's Castle theme in this game sounds like Cackletta's Soul from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
This has got to be one of the worst castlevania games out of the entire series franchise. Simon's quest was also another one had hard to beat without save states.
Simon's Quest wasn't that bad, it just was like a Zelda game (no fucking idea what to do).
This is actually pretty nice for a Java game.
Actually, Order Of Ecclesia Is Even Worse. Period.
3. Order Of Shadows
2. Simon's Quest
1. Order Of Ecclesia, Which Is Fucking Horrible.

._. saldrá algún remake para consolas portátiles de este juego? o la única forma de jugarlo es en un teléfono móvil?
We now have worthy gaming platforms for a mobile phone Vania (iOS and Android OS) and... nothing
Wow...This is....REALLY bad.
this was absolutely painful to watch
I could never make it past Level 1, because the controls, honest-to-God, suck.
Understandable, it really is a chore. Remapping the controls helps a little, using a cheat engine helps even more.
This is official?....
Yup
Sadly yes
what do i need to play this? like what type of phone or emulator, can it only be played on a phone? thanks guys
I know I'm six years too late, but you can play it on Android.
The Frame rate is just too poor. - Going through the castlevania series myself now and I must say I will be giving this one a miss.
joguei sem parar no meu celular plataforma JAVA GAMES, o motivo era que não salvava
ai é triste
Wait, is this stage based or exploration based?
Metroidvania Based. Meaning, You Have One Life, But You Can Replenish Health Indefinitely, As Long As You Have Supplies, And Travel Room-to-room For Progressing The Game.
Hi RasgarBlue, can i play it on android device using emulator? if yes, could you teach me how? thanks in advance.
I don't know if you can. The game is for cellphones older than Android, so you will need an emulator for those kinds of games.

Nice video. I never knew there was a Castlevania for mobiles. Anyway, I just created a channel, check it out.
I'm surprised this is official Konami. Looks like a fangame more than anything. Some of the graphics and music however are pretty cool.
It´s a 2007 Game... LOL
