Retronauts Episode 683: Castlevania Order of Ecclesia - The Metroidvania Book Club Pt. 1

"I eat the meat" Stuart Gipp

I probably don't need to tell you our collective fondness for Metroidvanias—the video games named after two other video games—but this new series surely seals the deal in that department. We've collected a panel of connoisseurs to discuss one shining example of the genre in order to ask you, the listeners, to play it and let us know what you think. This same group will reconvene at a later date to read your comments and conclude their conversation. We even created an entire channel for this "book club" in our Discord available to Patreon supporters at the $5 level or higher.

To kick off this venture, our host Jeremy Parish nominated Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. Joining him are returning voices Stuart Gipp, Nadia Oxford, Chris Sims, and Kate Willaert. Tune in to find out why Jeremy called this "the most Final Fantasy of the Castlevanias."

Description Jeremy Parish, Nadia Oxford, Stuart Gipp, Chris Sims, and Kate Willaert kick off a new feature to play and discuss great metroidvania in depth. Play along and join the conversation! This time: we tackle the first half of the final true Castlevania game.
