Castlevania Belmont's Curse is a grand return to the series' platformer roots.
The short version
- Developed by Konami and Evil Empire, it's a gothic cathedral built with new material, upon the strongest of genre foundations.
- Likewise, Castlevania Belmont's Curse's visual stylings struck me immediately.
- Each major region - of which there were three in the demo I played - was distinct and gorgeous.
What happened
The game would play with dark wine reds and earthy tones to present a Paris overrun one hour, then vivid greens and blue water caustics the next. The good news is navigating these landscapes was a joy as well, courtesy of Rose Belmont.
Why it matters
A new initiate into the Belmot family of vampire hunters, Rose occupies the middle-ground between her combat savvy father Trevor Belmont and her mystical mother Sypha Belnades.
