    Not bad, but not soulful, pure mechanics.

    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.

    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 Evermore (yes, what an irony - after the battle with Death you still can not pass the end of the tower, because you are still too weak), but without a storyline is no longer burning desire to continue to do it.

      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...
