This may be a castlevania ripoff, but thats basically the only reason im buying it, more castlevania action! they really need more castlevania games for ds, i cant get enough of them!
Why is this not slated as an iOS release. I own a couple gameloft games. I'd way rather have this than any other gameloft game. iOS is in serious need of a decent castlevania style game. Guaranteed sales... ?
@Redribbo its gameloft, they love making games that can be confused with other titles. Check out some of their other games. However often their titles, carbon copy or not, are entertaining, and thats what matters i suppose.
Wish it had more weapons and was a bit harder and longer. And transformations were used more. For $5 though, it was totally worth it. Good visuals, music, and solid gameplay.
@gameloft-- are you thinking ina SECOND PART..or trying to ported it to teh DSI..Imean SOUL OF DARKNESS 1 AND 2 in a retail version or at least a second part in download like SOUL OF DARKNESS 1....
From the looks if it, it doesn't look like a clone of Castlevania, it practically IS a Castlevania game.... I can't tell anything apart from CV in this trailer.
Would it be weird if i say this game is kinda like super mario but w/ graphics directed more to an older audience? plus u can use a sword ahaha. Sorry...i will now go hide in the corner of the room.
Hey!! Castlevania is better well. At least symphony of the night and order of ecclesia are. Both have my favorite story lines. Even though my favorite character is soma
Gameloft sure know how to rip off nintendo. Crystal Monsters is nothing more then pokemon, that iphone fps is nothing more then metroid and this is a very obveose castlevania rip
@1girlr3volution both of them are good and fun games BUT tooooo short
crystal monsters you cant catch a lot of the monsters and soul of darkness doesnt have alot of stages and only two swords thats it.but fun games maybe get both.
This is actually a really good Castlevania clone. The controls aren't quite as good as Konami's games, but the level design and the gameplay mechanics are very well designed. Seriously, if this were actually called Castlevania: Soul of Darkness or something, it'd be upper-mid tier in the series.
I'd love to see a sequel. Maybe on the 3DS or something.
wow this has got to be the most perfect castlevania clone ever, this has castlevania written all over it, and the funny thing is it still looks good, just because something has the same style, i.e. people who consider games to be god of war clones, doesnt mean its bad, but the bad thing about this would be thats its not very original at all, while watching this i'm expecting to hunt dracula, even the music sounds similar, but its looks fun, and its only 5 bucks!... only got DS though.
Castlevania Look Alike but I want so much! Some interesting mechanics, good and familiar graphics, interactive scenes... Yeah... Gameloft always creating Neo-Oldschool games.
Shame I don't have a DSi, Gameloft should sell this to Konami, so they can release it as a Castlevania game, it looks excellent, and if it came out as a cartridge, I could actually get to play it.
Since Koji Igarashi screwed with the 2D saga, i think this would be a lot better
It has a good balance between action-rpg and plattform-puzzle also it has nice events and the fight with the werewolf... its just great
Im a long time Castlevania fan -since Dracula XX from snes- and i really like this game, i dont care if it copy a lot of Castlevania style, rpgvanias were a kind of copy at first too, and now this game using the system to the 100% not like Igarashi and their repetitive games
Soul of Darkness is an excelent game. I wish that Gameloft make a sequel.
