Castlevania – Portrait of Ruin (DS)

Game Diary / April 19, 2007 / John / 0

ZOMG! Well, firstly can I just say that Portrait of Ruin is easily one of the best looking games on the DS and equally easily the prettiest Castlevania EVAR. Nice parallax effects, a lot of 3D backgrounds and baddies and the usual whippeding action. The whole dual character thing is a bit confusing, but I’m only an hour in so I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. I’ve come across the first boss in the first painting – a big armour thingy with a detachable blue head – and it’s kicked my bottom several times already, despite me using cool zappy dual strike things, so I’m obviously doing it wrong.

But I’ll get there – after all, nothing could be harder than Circle of the Moon :-/
