This is what i've been waiting for. The gamepaly is amazing,you get to use two characters at the same time and the gameplay speed does not suffer at all. This castlevania is also my favorite because it brings back memories of all the previous casltevanias i played.(slight spoilers)Skeleton blaze returns from HoD, persephone returns from Aos,andDoS, and many other sprites from Dos,obviousely many reminders form bloodlines occur,and we can't forget that lengthy quest imspired from Sotn.Portrait of ruin never fails to keep you interested because you always have some activity to do whether it be mastering jonathan's sub weapons,killin enemies for spells for charlotte,or doing one of wind's missions. The music is by far fantastic. With these elements it's really to find this game a dissapoint even if your not a casltevnia fan. I may not be finished with this game because im taking my sweet sweet time and i dont plan to finish the whole game soon because im really enjoying it. As a casltevania fan i really do enjoy portrait of ruin konami really outdid itself with this one.
