This is the most gitty I have been in my whole life as a Castlevania fan. Though it is gacha game and Fuck Konami, GoS was made with clear love for the Castlevania franchise. The story is so good and the character interaction... OH LORD THE CHARACTER INTERACTIONS are absolutely amazing. The fact that even though these characters have never interacted with one another (due to them being in separate games) and yet it still worked in this game is amazing. Thank you for providing us this amazing video of this game's story!
I feel like the characters are a little bit off, personally...like Charlotte is a bit too full of herself for example, more than Portrait of Ruin. But some of them are better than others for sure.
It's interesting how elements from various Castlevania video games in the past come into use in this one, in effect solidifying the Castlevania franchise as an entire world with its own history and lore. The overall plot is that while evil may very well be eternal, so is good. People have the choice to be either.
It also takes up elements of Bram Stoker's novel, just as in the case of Castlevania Bloodliness and by extension, Portrait of Ruin. I haven't finished watching the full video but Seward is surely based on Dr. John Seward from the novel. He was the one who called Van Helsing and also fought alongside Quincy Morris, Jonathan Harker, Arthur Holmwood and Wilhemina (Murray) Harker to destroy Dracula in the book...the latter character being the basis for Hermina, dare I say it. Any other bit I might catch I will put it in the edit. -The most evident one had eluded me xD ...Lucy as in Lucy Westenra. I was right in that assumption
I love Castlevania Grimorie of soul so much. It's such a great game for a number of reasons. I love that the story takes place after dawn of sarrorw and continues the story of Castlevania. I love that alucard is the main protagonist. Although you can also play others, you can see that Alucard is the main protagonist again in this game. I love seeing all the legends again. Soma Cruz, Trevor Belmont, Richter Belmont, Maria, Shanoa etc. I love these beautifully drawn profile pictures that remind me of symphony of night and aria of sarrow. I love how soma is seen as a dark dracula and fights like he is in the evil ending of dawn of sarrow. But the best of all was the final fight against the one and only dracula vlad tepes. His appearance shows that despite the 1999 solar eclipse, he can still be revived, although his power is in Soma Cruz. Even the dead was pretty good as the main antagonist, I thought he wouldn't just let his master die. As always, the music was a dream of pure nostalgia. I hope there will be a new castlevania game soon. However, I find one thing very unfortunate. Until now we don't have a game in which the events of 1999 take place. 😍😍😍😍😍
I love that Soma is the main antagonist of this game but man, I wish he is fully playable. He joined the team so late, I wanted to see more of his interactions with the others.
I like when Richter just heard about Alucard liking his sister be like: Ain't no way man! Not my sister! And continued giving him looks after any word to Maria.
And because of this game I'm inspired to draw Grimoires for the characters hehehe. Thank you for sharing everything about this game. I wish I could have played it, but its on Apple Arcade (cries in Android).
1:38 I suppose we’ll never see the 1999 war from Konami, just like we’ll never see the events of Sunset Shimmer meets her human counterpart in Equestria Girls from Hasbro. This is where I find the similarity between Konami & Hasbro… Ignoring what loyal fans really need while focusing on profits……
A group of people made the game, although it's just a fanmade but I thought it's already solid enough to be considered as a story to covers up the plothole It's not finished yet but I'm sure it's worth to wait
I feel bad for Dracula because like what Alucard said he has the humanity in him to allow himself the opportunity to be with his wife Lisa in heaven for all eternity but chosed to continue to hate humanity in a endless cycle instead 😢
I had a free trial month and played as far and as uch as I could on my wife's apple but I wasn't able to beat Death, so many thanks for this video 😍😍😍 I am a huge Castlevania Fan and was so sad that I couldn't play this game properly 🥰
Hello Area51! I'd like to ask permission to use some of these clips in a project I'm doing in my channel. Grimoire is currently an Iphone exclusive game, so it's a little bit hard for people like me to record gameplay/story. You'll be properly credited, and your channel will be linked in the description as well. We can talk more in an e-mail or something like that if you wish! Thank you in advance.
hey buddy, came to warn you about some cool stuff, a friend of mine makes datamine GoS and he discovered some cool stuff, there will be some new elemental boss events and almost possibly a boss rush among other cool stuff, the only thing i would do as if could you make a video showing all the weapons of the GoS when I get the others :D, and yes the next update can come faster because konami will no longer focus on dialogues and chapters which will greatly reduce the update delivery time maybe but remember the delivery time is every 2 months tactically.
Please somehow may this game come to android, consoles or P.C. Or may somebody teach me how to emulate apple on Windows correctly. I just noticed there is a humongus missed opportunity in this game. Instead of Trevor, who already beat Dracula, they should've brought Leon, the original Belmont. To tell them Mathias' real background, and to be the one to finally end him. What a waste...
Looks like the developers wanted to make Charlotte a joke character. Sure, she is overconfident and a bit of an egomaniac, but before this game released SHE WAS INDEED the most powerful witch in history, and her tittle as the “Final weapon against Dracula” was originally referring to her role in the 1999 war as a Belnades clan representative. It was indeed hinted that she was involved in the war and had a prominent role in it fighting alongside Julius and Alucard, and whoever else was involved. Even if she was not “the final weapon against Dracula” in this sense, why wouldn’t she take part in the war? She was a 70 year old extremely gifted magic user at that point in history. Is that unseen in fiction? Even if she didn’t take part in the war (Say, she was dead), there is NO WAY Alucard wouldn’t know her, as she was affiliated with the church, the Morris’ bloodline, and the Belnades clan. She had a pivotal role in saving the Lercarde bloodline (holders of the “Alucard Spear”, ironically) through her magic, fought Dracula AND Death at the same time with Jonathan Morris during WWII. Then this game comes out and retroactively turns her into a delusional random girl?
Leon is never stated within the story itself, & Trevor is the oldest known in legends told of the Belmonts. Emphasis on 'Known' tells that Leon more than likely is forgotten in the greater history of the Belmont Clan. Since Simon only knows of Trevor through Oral Stories, none of the Belmonts family records were ever recorded.
If Mega Man Xdive could get a offline steam version, then why not this too? Like the story is actually great and the gameplay is pretty solid except for the gacha part.
First of all, thanks, thanks for preserving this story for everyone to watch. I really appreciate it, given how fickle mobile games' lifespans are. TBH, it's a miracle this game saw the end, so thanks for making us watch Honestly, starts promising, but after a while, the cast becomes too big and thus their interaction stretch thin. It's baffling that Soma doesn't get to talk at all with Dracula. Or how painful is that the two Marias share interaction just once and any hint of possible development dies. Or how pointless Albus is A shame, because the story is clearly made with love, but the final fight with Dracula makes all of the efforts to seal is soul be in vain. I very much prefer 'Ricordanza of the Divine Abyss', where Death is pretty much the main character and is shown to be truly depressed by Dracula's passing than this bog standard 'man behind the man' role. They did their best, but... it was an uphill battle and when they struck gold (such as the ending) it was gold
Konami fucked up. Soma Cruz is not Japanese. He's a foreign exchange student from Spain that went to Japan. If really want to see a well done chronology of castlevania, check out gamerthumbtv's videos. He really went out on a limb to connect the games, shows and comics!
@@stefanowohsdioghasdhisdg4806 really? But the name doesn't make sense, Soma Cruz is Spanish. Unless they romanized it like they did with the name Belmont as Belmondo???
@@ralphpaez3513 I always assumed that Soma was born to a Japanese mother and a potentially Mexican-American father, seeing as how he was probably born in the US - he was born in 2017, and there was a total solar eclipse in the US August 21, 2017. I mean, it thematically fits
he's japanese. iga said in an interview he changed soma's nationality only for people to identify more with him overseas, but canonically he's not from the west. and c'mon, gamerthumb's timeline is a mishmash of nonsense and therefore a messy headcanon. it's impossible to tie all canon and non canon games into a real, coherent, timeline. because most of non canon games were actually planned to be non canon by their own developers (such as the 64 games and circle of the moon).
@@ralphpaez3513 You're correct in your romanization theory. In Japanese, his name is Kurusu Sōma - written in Japanese name order (surname first, given name second) and in kanji, whereas the non-Japanese characters have their names written in regular order (given name first, surname last) and in hiragana.
So far this final battle I recorded is the best one(no continue and no food): ruclips.net/video/Y95lBCsQ07c/видео.html
I love how impressed Simon got with Maria over time, from worry, to respect to outright terror upon realizing how powerful she must be compared to any Belmont
She's really not that terrifying. She needs to be reminded of the four guardians she summons.
I like how alucard appearance is similar to his mother and his human(genya)form is just a short haired version of Mathis(young Dracula from LOI)
He got a rebond in 2035 to 2036, though.

I like how Japanese Aizen is narrating this. And I like how they portray Genya Arikado as one of those heroes in a wuxia novel.
* Dracula disappears*
*Aizen shows up*
"that's all? pathetic, you're all full of exposures" *plays "stand up be strong"*
No way... Sho Hayami is narrating Akumajou Dracula??? I never knew...
21:10 I’m still not healed from my first time listening to this soundtrack (yes rare garden loi)
14:24 I kinda expected Simon to start yelling at Maria for calling him that
49:11 Shanoa pressed X for doubt
2:41:42 and she was correct
It's strange that Death traveled back to 1476, when Ralph defeated Dracula, but not in 1094... Imagine facing Mathias Cronqvist...
They do not have the records. 1476 is stated to be the oldest one.
And because of this game I'm inspired to draw Grimoires for the characters hehehe. Thank you for sharing everything about this game. I wish I could have played it, but its on Apple Arcade (cries in Android).

I am upset and sad that I haven't been able to play this game because I don't have an Apple device.
Thanks for the cutscene.
Nobody told me father Pucci was the GoS narrator
OH YOU AGAIN AND LOL I REALIZED NOW
Vanilla Ice too, spooky!
Poor Dracula, rise up just to be seal away again and again.
😂
Aaaaa thank you so much for this TT
This would've been one of the best CVs had it released on console and steam...
I feel bad for Dracula because like what Alucard said he has the humanity in him to allow himself the opportunity to be with his wife Lisa in heaven for all eternity but chosed to continue to hate humanity in a endless cycle instead 😢
It's worse than that, as the dark lord, he can't stop coming back no matter how much he may want to.
Christopher was mentioned!
i wish julius was in this game
Me too….
Sonia Belmont too (don't care if she isn't canon, It could have been cool if she and Alucard have a tall).
He would make the things pretty easy if his prescense was in there
