Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Review.

[AkaenRievkelar]

Hey Guys! I just got Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, and so far, it is living up to it hype. It is hard like simons quest... and yes you do die, ALOT...

so far i give it a two thumbs up, and a 9.5/10.

the art is far more gothic, retaining the true Castlevania style of the series. the enemies are pretty difficult. the glyph system is a nice collection engine for abbilities, much like the soul and spell collection from the previous ds titles.

and so far i am at the prison island, and have only found two villagers so far.

I've never played any castlevania games. From what I've heard it sounds like a medieval contra 4 RPG. Contra because of the side scrolling and the different types of spells from what i've heard sound like an RPG. IS this correct.

Yep, but it's also like a Metroid (the later Castlevanias) in that it's an open roaming environment. You run anywhere you want. What I like about it most is the spells system. It's very simplified. You kill a monster and you have a random chance of gaining it's ability. Go to the menu screen and if you gained it's ability, set it to up+B or R depending on the type of ability. The magic attacks are awesome, one shoots a huge fireball, another one sends a pillar of fire or ice running along the ground, another lets you run super fast, some summon monsters to kill anything that gets in your path. It's a really great game. (Dawn of Sorrow is the Castlevania I'm talking about)
