Latest Castlevania collection receives positive reviews
Castlevania Dominus Collection Impresses Fans and Critics
The Castlevania Dominus Collection has been released to positive reception, offering a trilogy of acclaimed Nintendo DS games on modern platforms. The collection includes Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia, showcasing designer Koji Igarashi's work at its peak.
Konami has implemented thoughtful porting options to address the dual-screen nature of the original games. Players can choose from various display layouts, including side-by-side views of gameplay and maps, or a top-and-bottom arrangement mimicking the DS setup.
It's a thoughtful approach to porting games from a distinct piece of hardware and means that these excellent titles are available in a way that both feels native to modern platforms and honors the original releases.
An unexpected highlight of the collection is the inclusion of a remastered version of the arcade game Haunted Castle. This remake improves upon the original's graphics and gameplay, making it more accessible and enjoyable for modern players.
