What this game is

Medieval Paris on the threshold of a new century is engulfed in fire, and monsters released from a sinister castle are crawling out of the shadows. Trevor Belmont, who once defeated Dracula, goes out onto the streets with his daughter Rose, carrying the Vampire Killer whip.

Rose is drawn into a conspiracy that is growing in the depths of the castle. The game keeps the gothic atmosphere of the series and shows it in a renewed form, with references to the classic games.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is an action game with RPG elements that takes the series to Paris engulfed in flames. The story is set at the end of 1499. Monsters have poured out of a dark castle, and Trevor Belmont, the conqueror of Dracula, walks onto the burning streets with his daughter Rose. Their weapon is the one the series is loved for: the holy whip Vampire Killer. Soon Rose is drawn into a grim conspiracy growing deep inside the castle, and the fate of the city rests on her. The main tool here is the whip, and it does several things at once. It is used to strike, but also to move around the level, grabbing on and swinging like an aerial gymnast. Once you master this mechanic, you can deal with enemies quickly and aggressively without standing still. The bosses are a point of pride for the game. Among the opponents are Death, Medusa and Carmilla, and among the new faces is Joan of Arc. Defeated bosses do not simply vanish: their souls are sealed in Rose's Tarot cards and turn into Arcana. Each one grants abilities for spells and special moves, so the trophies directly affect the way you fight. You can build your style from the gear you find. There are weapons in seven categories and relics that boost attack and defense, and successful combinations become a personal signature. You will explore maps with new mechanics and familiar elements from the classic games, in a gothic style with bright modern graphics. The game is single-player, with adjustable difficulty and support for a gamepad and DualSense. The text is translated into Russian, with English and Japanese voice-over.
