Great games but crashes a lot. The Anniversary and Advanced games didn't crash at all but these DS ports suffer from crashing about once every few hours of gameplay. :(
The collection was a ton of fun, I'm glad I finally got to play these games, I didn't like Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow that much be honest, it felt like a game I've already played but worse, exploration was unrewarding and RNG was awful but the other two games were fantastic, it was always exciting to get a new power in those. Castlevania Order of Ecclesia ended up being my favorite Castlevania, Shanoa's gameplay perfected the formula and lets you express as you want as a player the difficulty was also done really well, there is always a moment with these games where you are basically a god but this one the enemies hit really hard for the whole journey and you have to pay a lot more attention to weaknesses and attack patterns.
Saved me having to try and do the strange spell inputs on an emulator, and the Haunted Castle remake was a nice bonus. all 3 games are pretty solid, though I felt DoS was a weaker rehash of Aria of sorrow, and Order of Ecclesia's boss damage felt really overtuned.
