Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is a video game created and published by Konami Interactive. It was developed for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony and for the Xbox from Microsoft and published in 2005. The game is classed as an action and role playing title with a medieval and fantasy theme played from a third person perspective.

It will allow the player to take on the role of Hector, who is a former servant of Dracula, who is still a threat. He is also a Devil Forgemaster but he wants no longer to be associated with evil and to live a normal life. The problem is that another servant of Dracula has cast a curse on Europe. Hector is the only one who can breake it. The fact that he is a Forgemaster allows him to create familiars that can fight on his side. The familiars are able to morph into different forms depending on the level of the player and the weapons he chooses to wield.

There are some interesting role playing elements in the game, mainly revolving around character attributes and experience. There's also a wide array of weapons that you can use, such as axes, swords, spears, knuckles and shields. The game will also offer you the chance to pick up bronze, steel and aluminum or having extra amounts of materials to create new weapons or improve existing ones.

The current combo system in the game will allow the player to easily beat up enemies and will make fights interesting.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Get character objects

Dracula (Round 2)

Steal: Vampire Blood

Uses: Dracula's Clothes (excellent armor)

Dracula is now a huge vampiric black angel. Sometimes but rarely, Dracula will back away and rush the platform with a huge destructive punch. After he does it, jump into him and steal from his chest. The punch is easy to avoid, but a shockwave follows it which will screw up the steal and do serious damage. You can double jump the punch and the wave, or use the Fairy-type Tiramisu's Invincibility Jar technique.

GLITCHES

Misspelling

During the game, pay attention when Hector says "Belmont". While Hector will say the name correctly, look at the subtitles. "Belmont" will be written as "Belmondo" or something similar.

Here's the trailer of the game:
