Description
Disillusioned with the ideals of his mentor, Hector fled Vallachia to pursue a more normal life, leaving Dracula vulnerable to the Belmonts. Now, three years after Dracula was defeated in battle, the magic power of the curse released upon his death has infected all of Europe. Fueled by revenge for the death of his girlfriend, Hector must battle his way back to the ruins of Dracula’s castle, and uncover an intricate web of deception, unaware of the sinister plan that has been orchestrated to lure him home.
Armed with the unique new abilities of Devil Forgery, gamers will be able to call upon trusty allies – “Innocent Devils” – who will help defeat a variety of powerful enemies. More than 30 evolving allies will develop unique abilities ranging from those that can open heavy doors, to those that can help Hector fly. They will aid players in conquering various enemies, avoiding perilous traps and solving challenging puzzles. Curse of Darkness will also feature stronger RPG and adventure game elements. As players progress through the game and gain experience points, their character’s strength will increase, reminiscent of the gameplay found in the critically acclaimed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
