In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, players take on the role of
Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Orlean. During World War II, many
lost souls from the global conflict were left to wander the world
in search of salvation. Desperate to escape their terrible
plight, they sought to resurrect Dracula's Castle from the rubble
of society, assisted by two mysterious vampire sisters. Now
Jonathan and Charlotte must work together to confront the two
vampire sisters, and ensure that this villainous catastrophe is
not unleashed on the world.
Gameplay
Evolving the action-adventure gameplay that has been the series'
trademark for 20 years, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin lets
players switch freely between Jonathan and Charlotte as they
proceed on their heroic mission, each with their own strengths,
abilities and style of play. Players can now utilize powerful
combination attacks in which both characters unleash the full
extent of their combat abilities to decimate the game's more than
100 different enemies and bosses. In their quest to stop
Dracula's resurrection, Jonathan and Charlotte can collect and
use different weapons, equipment, and items to increase their
overall skill level and acquire new abilities.
As mentioned before, players can switch freely between both
characters, a necessary option to win the game. For instance, you
need to analyze certain situations and carefully choose to play
either Jonathan or Charlotte in order to successfully battle
against the vampire army. The two characters can also combine
their powers to pull-off powerful combo attacks. Their combined
abilities are needed in certain parts of the castle in order to
progress through the game.
The game has two different endings. Both endings involve the
prevention of Dracula's resurrection, however only one actually
involves the defeat of Brauner. Different choices allow for a
uniquely diverse gameplay experience.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi
Connection with a limited cooperative play mode feature. There is
an online shop mode used through Wi-Fi as well. Players are able
to put their items up for sale in a realistic marketplace. And
perhaps best of all, when another player buys the item, the
selling player gains the money but doesn't lose the item.
