This is a fan-made HD remake of Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, a game first released in 2010 on Xbox360. It's made with Unity. This brings together a cast of protagonists from previous games in the series with the classic 2D platformer gameplay. The focus is on cooperative gameplay with up to six vampire hunters workings towards the same goal of eventually destroying the citadel Castlevania. This is similar to the Boss Rush mode from previous games, but there is also a Versus mode to play against each other, based on points. Additionally the game can be played alone, in a singleplayer story mode. It consists of six large maps that can be browsed while playing. There are three different zoom levels (not pausing the game) and even though the closest one is the only suited to play, the others allow you to view the entire level layout in a single screen to plan a path and find out where the treasure is. At the end of each level is a boss that needs to be defeated and familiar villains such as Gergoth, Dullahan, Puppet Master, Death, and Menace make a return. Bosses are sometimes able to attack players before reaching the end area. Multiple players start in different parts of the level and act independently, but since each character has a different set of skills, it is possible to help each other by dousing fire to clear a passage, or pulling a lever to raise a platform for another player. |
