One of the greatest adventures on the DS
User Rating: 9.5 | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin DS
Castlevania: PoR spices up the old castlevania recipe by adding a new character, Charlotte. adding to this, the main character Johnathan isnt even a belmont! despite these changes, this game is rediculously fantastic. in fact, the new direction takes the story to a whole nother plane in the Castlevania universe. So, in PoR you assume the role of Johnathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin. Johnathan is the melee guy, while charlotte packs a bit of a punch and can cast spells too. whats really intersting about this game is the character switch system. At any time, you can switch which character youre playing as, or call up the other character to help you defeat foes. It is used to solve puzzles as well. this new gameplay aspect adds a whole new dimension to the game, because you experince it as two characters instead of one. All in all, this game is amazing, and you should probably buy it.
