    Curse Of Darkness takes the 2D Castlevania formula and turns it into a reasonably good action game 0

    Ah yes the age of 3D takes on the Castlevania formula. Not fondly remembered by most since taking the Metroidvania formula into the third dimension is hard. At least presenting it in a way that is still enjoyable to play. Yet did Konami manage to do that in this release? Let’s find out.Dracula may have been defeated by the combined efforts of Trevor & Co yet his curse remains. Hector a formal devil forge master of Count Dracula has returned to defeat another forge master named Isaac. ...

    Castlevania: Curse of Darkness was one step forward, and one step 0

    Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is a small leap forward for the 3D Castlevania's, but not quite there yet. The graphics are a big improvement. The added elements like experience points, leveling, and Innocent Devils are a welcome return to form. The weapon forging and loot drops add alot of depth to the game. On the other hand, the controls seemed slow and clumsy, I missed the platforming elements. The storyline and characters are still not that compelling. The action seemed a little repetitive ...

    Castlevania seems to be cursed to not live up to its own name in its translation to 3D. 0

    Counting Legacy of Darkness, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is the fourth 3D effort in the series. It, like its 3D predecessors, provides a basic look at what makes Castlevania, Castlevania, and builds on them in a few interesting ways. The problem is, those ways don’t make much of a difference in elevating the series' 3D to the level of its 2D.The story takes place soon after the NES classic, Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, taking place two years later, but instead of Trevor Belmont, who stil...

    Castlevania Curse of Darkness Video Review 0

        Castlevania: Curse of Darkness re-uses the game engine of Lament of Innocence, though it has a couple improvements such as a better inventory menu and camera controls. The other major difference is how incredibly larger the world is, and this leads us to our first stumbling block. The biggest complaint people have about the game is the heavy use of copy and paste environments. I can understand why the developers did this; when making an expansive world you need to re-use textures and models...

    Not bad, but not soulful, pure mechanics. 0

    The game as a whole seemed to me fascinating, at least you're interested in knocking out rare drops of monsters, each picking up his approach during the battle, and then produce from them a new weapon. But the music is incredibly boring, and the locations don't shine with design, either. This game will appeal to fans of naked farming and boosting their hero.In general, after 30 hours of play, the game still has some tasks, such as some weapons have not been opened or not been completed Tower of ...
