==Gameplay==
:''see [[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Gameplay]] for more''
As a "[[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Gameplay#Devil Forgeing|Devil Forgemaster]]", Hector is a master of all weapons - swords, spears, axes, and even his fists. He can create weapons and armor by combinging raw materials and other equipment. In addition he can bring "[[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Innocent Devils|Innocent Devils]]" to life - creatures that will fight along side him, as well as help out in other ways.
The gameplay is very similar to ''[[Castlevania: Lament of Innocence]]'', though the combat system has been revamped since Hector does not use whips or special items. By repeatedly pressing the {{psx|S}} button, you can hit repeatedly, and by ending the attack with the {{psx|C}} button, you can end the sequence in a brutal combo that inflicts more damage on enemies, and sometimes over a wider area. The specific attack depends on the [[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Weapons|weapon]] and how many time the circle button was pressed during the combo.
