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.

When closing the cover of the DS to enter sleep mode (with the game still powered on), the game will make a sound effect simulating a coffin closing shut.
