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
Draculas 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
characters strength will increase, reminiscent of the gameplay found in the
critically acclaimed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Gamers will have access to a wide range of powerful weaponry that will allow
them to perform unparalleled combo attacks on the deadliest of enemies. As
players progress in the game they will uncover an immersive storyline and
explore beautifully rendered and expansive environments. Curse of Darkness
also features an increased number of unlockable features that are sure to draw
players deeper into the Castlevania universe. An entirely new musical sound
track scored by Michiru Yamane rounds out this engrossing new chapter to the
Castlevania series.
