This week I’m covering Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It’s my favorite DS Castlevania game.
Plot Synopsis: The story occurs in Dracula’s castle and is set in 1944 Europe during World War II. In addition to the castle, the main characters explore various different paintings that have been constructed by Brauner, a villain. The paintings act as portals to new areas and feature a distinct look that is different from the main castle.
Plot: The plot is decent, not amazing though.
Gameplay: The gameplay is however really good, I enjoy the partner system immensely.
Music: The music is amazing, although not quite as good as Symphony of the Night.
Art: Since it’s based off Symphony of the Night it’s great, but expect model recycling except for some new characters and Death and Drac getting a new model.
Overall: If you like Metroidvania games play this one.
For those who like: Exploration, Action, Adventure, Castlevania, Metroid.
Not for those who don’t like: Any of the above.
