Awesome!
great game. The story is not that complex even if its the first
castlevania played. The main protagonist is Nathan Graves, a
apprentice of Morris, and a rival of Hugh of becoming a next
vampire slayer.
This game retains the traditional secondary weapons which
consumes heart. There are also magic items which I think is a
counterpart of relics in SOTN, which is the key to access certain
areas in the castle. The main gameplay and i think is the most new
exciting about this game is DSS cards. The top row is for actions
cards (named after Roman gods) while the bottom row is for
attribute cards (named after legendary creatures). DSS cards
works by combining 2 cards to render such effect whether for
offense and defense. It can be acquired by enemy drops
throughout the game. It also has a equipment feature like SOTN.
Graphics and Sounds are also great like SOTN.
I recommend this game for all those castlevania fans or those who
like 2d classic gaming. This game is exciting and addicting especially
if you like to collect all DSS cards.
