[edit] Gameplay
The game features the ability to swap out the existing soundtrack with songs from previous Castlevania games.[1]
[edit] Plot
Desmond Belmont and his two sisters, Zoe and Dolores, search Dracula's castle for a cult called "The Order" that is trying to resurrect Dracula.[2] This game takes place in the late 1600s, sometime before the events of the NES Castlevania; however, it is a side story, and thus, not part of Koji Igarashi's official timeline.[3]
[edit] Characters
- Desmond Belmont - The main character of the game. He uses the Vampire Killer, crosses, axes and other weapons used by the Belmont clan.
- Zoe Belmont (Zoe is a reference to Konami's Zone of the Enders series.)
- Dolores Belmont (Dolores is a reference to the anime Z.O.E. Dolores,i.)
[edit] Development
Originally, the storyline was around a character named Gryff LaRue and his family of "mages and witches", but was modified as the Belmont clan has always been portrayed as a "family of warriors". After the rewrite, the story was changed to be more similar to traditional Castlevania stories, and made Desmond Belmont wield a whip instead of an axe or sword.[4]
[edit] Reception
IGN rated the game 6.5, calling it "decent", and with little replay value compared to other Castlevania entries.[2] 1up.com has given it a D-, calling it a "major disappointment".[5]
