Played it because Isaac, Hector, and Saint Germain from the Netflix came from here, this completely forgotten entry in the CV franchise. The adaption is VERY loose, which is fine. It's satisfying to see who these characters originally were. The game's not perfect, but it's surprisingly good. Easily the most underrated entry in the franchise. It's DMC lite with SotN influences and a neato monster raising system. In terms of gameplay, this is a successor to Lament of Innocence, but massively evolved. LoI is short enough to be worth it for the curious, but is honestly very skippable. It lacks the gameplay variety of CoD's weapons and monsters and it segments its explorable environments into isolated stages, as opposed to CoD's continuous overworld. And it has a fixed camera, lol. This game is also available on PS2. That version has an exclusive item if you have an LoI save, but the Xbox version runs in 480p and sells for half the price. Easy choice for me.Read full review

The game is the typical side scrolling fighting game where the goal is to defeat a boss and gain their special ability to help you in the following stages. As you fight the evil devils, you gain experience points which you will use to upgrade. The interesting twist is this time you are now a Forgemaster in which you are able to conjure up what they consider Innocent Devils to fight for you. Each Innocent Devil type has different characteristics which you you will find usefull in one way or another (healing vs fighting vs flying, etc). As with previous Castlevania titles, the graphics are ok. The fight engine is arcadic with limited controls needed to accomplish anything. The Good: 1) Beat them up... a lot 2) Puzzles 3) New twist on conjuring 4) Wow... cool bosses 5) Much better graphics than before 6) Definitely replayable game to see all the different Innocent Angle forms 7) Ability to switch weapon each with their own attributes 8) Combos and more combos The Bad: 1) Graphics are still not that good in certain areas 2) Fight engine is still just a basic hack and slash 3) Feels very repetitive. Overall, it's a keeper with lots of replayability.Read full review
I will agree with a lot of other people that this game is very similar to the previous title Lament Of Sorrow, and not quite as good, but I still had a good time playing it. While I've mostly played the more modern games in the series due to not having consoles as a kid, I've enjoyed almost all of them and this one is no exception. Probably my only complaint was that sometimes it was hard to tell where to go as some of the 'corridor' designs were not easily navigated. I liked the upgraded graphics (courtesy of more powerful hardware) and better load times thanks to the hard drive. Overall I think it's a solid entry in the series and if you can get a good price, give it a try.
its a nice 3d arcade game, NOT XBOX360 COMPATIBLE. i have played around 1h30 and it is not so hard but its fun. We can create a lot of weapons and armor with materials that we find by killing monsters. There is combo moves and they can be differant with each weapons. X is the attack button B is the finishing move. XXB = hit, hit, throw weapon in front of you. XXXB hit,hit,hit, AoE attack with verry light weapons XXXXB = hit,hit,hit,hit and rly fast single target attack. theres a defencive stence for rapid esquive and block. Theres demons minion pets with special power, so far i have found 2, one he is only healing me and one big rock demon that squish the enemy. i recomand that game for those who like old 3d arcade games just for fun, it is pretty easy and i dont think we can choose easy or hard.Read full review
Expecting a crap game, considering Castlevania's first venture into 3D, I was pleasantly surprised to find this game quite enjoyable. The graphics are somewhat awkward, as is the movement, but it doesn't really take away from the playing experience. The most frustrating part of the game was the slow running speed. After beating it the first time through, I tried the crazy difficulty to see how easy it would be a second time. After having to start over 12 times, I finally killed the first monster. A true challenge for any gamer. The addition of "innocent devils" is really fun and rewarding when they reach their final stages. Unfortunately, once you discover the combination of aura blast and a magic focused devil, you can kill pretty much anything. Overall a very pleasing game, enjoy.
