Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Description

In Portrait of Ruin you control two characters, a vampire hunter named Jonathan Morris and a young witch Charlotte Aulin. The two heroes must stop Brauner, a vampire artist devising a plot to use magical paintings to draw power from Dracula's castle.

In the game you can freely switch between Jonathan and Charlotte, so you can decide which character is best for battling against the vampires' army. Also, at the first time in the series, both characters can be on the screen simultaneously, helping each other. You can explore environments such as Egyptian deserts via paintings which Brauner has scattered throughout the castle.

Portrait of Ruin is also compatible with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Trivia

When battling Stella, you can hear her pronouncing the name of an attack sounding like "Secret Surious Wave". These actually are two overlapped samples, "Secret Strike" and "Furious Wave" (original Japanese samples were much shorter, and didn't overlap). The simplest way to hear "Secret Strike" alone is by pressing "Start" during the word "Secret". The game will open the menu, but the sample will play to the end. When you close the menu, Stella will say "Furious Wave".
