I think it would be cool if the gauntlets were released in sets. But I would also imagine it takes a while to choose the levels that fit the chosen themes. I’m excited for the forest gauntlet personally
@@circumplex9552 I'll be honest I hope it doesn't its like a high level hard demon. I've beaten it but I really don't want to have to rebeat it for a gauntlet lol.
@NightytimeGaming i mean yeah i def see your point but the quality of the rewards is subjective so if someone really wanted a reward from a gauntlet that's really hard, it's gonna suck.
8:35 for the people who haven't played sky tower yet and are scared because of what aeon said, it's only true if you go for the coins, otherwise it's like a 8* after you learn it, BUT you'll have to learn it because the gameplay and especially the ending, it was my 2nd ever demon, so it isn't that hard :))
I really liked most of the levels in this gauntlet. I found the gameplay really fun and the deco really good in 4/5 of the levels. I’m definitely one of those people that really dislikes sky tower though
@Bappe ok, but who said demons had to be readable? Heck people loved Deadlocked and Limbo and the like but they aren’t. I’d call it more “learny”. The gameplay itself is really good after learning it in my opinion
I feel the same way about castlemania. Such an experience, such a work of art. But it feels sort of wrong in this gauntlet, despite fitting the theme perfectly. Having such immense depth & being intended for immersion & exploration is at such odds with the grind progression of gauntlets
My problem with Castlemania is that a lot of the paths require a shit ton of random secrets. When the level came out, I couldn’t figure out how to get past 50% on the normal path, so I never beat it. I only beat it when the gauntlet came out with the deep path, which is probably a hard demon due to weird balancing, but is infinitely more fun than checking Nexus’s video five times trying to replicate every minor movement to open an unnecessary door or not fall into a different path, which the deep path doesn’t have. Interesting concept but could have been executed way better.
That's the *entire* point. Without all of that, it would just be any other level. It's meant to replicate a Metroidvania game with all its little quirks, including going back and exploring paths and finding random shit to be able to do shit. Aeon makes the point well - it does not belong in a gauntlet, as it's intended as that kind of experience. I also did the deep path (not willing to call it a hard demon, based on the metric of "there's no way I could've just cranked out a hard demon in a day, I suck"), since I also lacked the patience to look for keys, but the idea doesn't put me off. It just makes me see it as kind of at odds with the Gauntlet experience, especially as the 4th level.
@@fahrenheit2101exactly. saying castlemania was poorly executed because you don't like exploring is kind of like saying geometry dash is poorly executed because you don't like timings. gd is made for people who like timings, and castlemania is made for people who like big worlds to explore.
This gauntlet is good! I personally have some qualms with the tower part in still life and the 50% doors in castlemania, but its balanced out by glorious fortress :P
It is best to go for the path's of the new sharts if you already have all of the old shards, since you get 10 sharts of that kind when you complete the path
I think that's rather harsh, but I agree that its placement, especially as the 4th level, is an odd choice. Still fun though, depends on how much you're obsessed with trying to quickly grind through it as opposed to just taking your time. Obviously there's a little more pressure to get it out of the way, but it didn't take away from my experience too much. Actually, I'd personally put off Castlemania for the longest time since it seemed too much of an investment, so I was glad the Gauntlet forced me to go ahead and beat it.
@@alexandrucalitescu5822 which is cool, but overall I do think it's a watered down experience, since many only play it to get through the Gauntlet and might find it more frustrating than needs be, and not spend any time exploring.
@@alexandrucalitescu5822 well there's achievements and stuff waiting at the end and plenty of people are too completionist to take their time. Hell, even I decided to just rush through all 5 levels. To the point where I was so lazy to find keys in CastleMania that I just took the Deep Path.
I hate the fact that Robtop basically forced me to play Castlemania. It was on my list of levels I never wanted to touch. There isn't even a tutorial that explains how to go through every path and secrets or at least I can't find one. I can only find completions that go through them without an actual explaination
I'm gonna be honest, the only good level in this gauntlet is Glorious Fortress. CastleMania is probably good but for me it almost lags just as much as Emerald Realm, which makes it unplayable
@@onyxify that's why I said it's "probably good". I literally can't play it. That said tho, I think it should be replaced using the argument Aeon used in the video
You cant deny Castlemania has an object count problem if it breaks and requires restarting the game even for Aeon, who probably has a high end pc. If it can do that then lag isn't a "you problem" it's a problem with the level.
@@Cahrssomething if the level can break high end pcs, it's supposed to be a "you problem" for everyone? Don't get me wrong it's a good level but it isn't exactly accessible for the majority of the playerbase, which is a problem since it's in a gauntlet. (I can run it just fine personally but the point still stands)

@NightytimeGaming yea but it's not quite fair to those with lower skill sets who are outside the average

sky tower is harder depending on your reaction speed, I might as well be doing the last stage blindfolded and it was i think my 45th demon
Also did you play sky tower outside of the gauntlets?
@@theskilledsnake yup I played it in 2.11
I beat it year ago. Gameplay is easy and fun but hard to sightread
@@theskilledsnake Yeah, I haven't played it in the gauntlets tho
1:47 Yes, I am definitely having an.... experience with the map packs
To unlock glow you need to beat 10 MAP PACKS 😭

Aeon Air.
I loved this gauntlet! Every single level is pure gold in my opinion! Hope to see more of the upcoming gauntlets very soon!
14:17 I literally finished the same path from the same level
Still life was the least fun I think I’ve had in any easy demon… ever
Same i just beat it and it was infuriating

There's actually going to be 30 new ones I'm pretty sure
Yep! This gauntlet is the first of 30 to come out…
theres gonna be a spider gauntlet bruh
I think the castle gauntlet is the second hardest gauntlet, the absolute hardest being the doom gauntlet that has a medium demon and two hard demons
aeon's intro caught me off guard bro 💀💀💀
This gauntlet is good! I personally have some qualms with the tower part in still life and the 50% doors in castlemania, but its balanced out by glorious fortress :P
baby aeon voice jumpscare
LOL, that was so funny!
Sky tower literally took me 4 hours 💀
Cool
i did a little prediction list for the castle gauntlet and got 4/5 levels right
i LOVE this gauntlet

being in a gauntlet is a surreal experience
Can’t relate 😢

And the Icon when you beat it will be a bee ship with a yellow color?

Hi hi, am eon end it is ae video
Its amazing how being put into a gauntlet can make castlemania go from an amazing and one-of-a-kind experience to a miserable shitfest.
