|
| '''Castelvania: Curse of Darkness''' is a direct sequel to ''[[Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse]]'' ([[:Category:1989|1989]], [[:Category:NES|NES]]). It has been three years since [[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Characters#Dracula|Dracula]] was been defeated by [[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Characters#Trevor Belmont|Trevor Belmont]] and his allies, but his curse remains. Europe is a wasteland of death and destruction. During this time, a [[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Gameplay#Devil Forgeing|Devil Forgemaster]] by the name of [[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Characters#Hector|Hector]], who left Dracula's army durring the war, seeks revenge against another Forgemaster, [[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness/Characters#Isaac|Isaac]], who remained loyal to Dracula and had Hector's lover killed in retaliation.
| | The game re-uses the engine from ''[[Castlevania: Lament of Innocence]]'' ([[2003]], [[PS2]]), but the plot makes it a direct sequel to ''[[Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse]]'' ([[1989]], [[NES]]). |

| | It has been three years since [[/Characters#Dracula|Dracula]] was defeated by [[/Characters#Trevor Belmont|Trevor Belmont]] and his allies (see ''[[Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse]]''), but his curse remains. Europe is a wasteland of death and destruction. During this time, a [[/Gameplay#Devil Forging|devil forgemaster]] by the name of [[/Characters#Hector|Hector]], who left Dracula's army during the war, seeks revenge against another forgemaster, [[/Characters#Isaac|Isaac]], who remained loyal to Dracula and had Hector's lover killed in retaliation. |

|
| 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.

| | | {{Castlevania}} |
| 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.
