![]() Shanoa is a member of one of these organizations, called Ecclesia. ![]() With no one left to defend Europe from the forces of darkness, several different organizations are trying to fill the void. After the events of Symphony of the Night, the members of the Belmont family have disappeared, taking their holy whip with them. It doesn't have that recycled feel that Portrait of Ruin did. It's not incredibly different, granted you're still exploring 2D labyrinths while wielding a relatively familiar set of weapons. By the time I reached the post-game content, which involved beating the crap out of all the bosses from Dawn of Sorrow again, I was fairly thoroughly dissatisfied with it all. Half the sprites were recycled from past 2D Castlevania games, the storyline came in small bits located hours apart, and once you mastered the character-swapping mechanic, the general gameplay goals were all too familiar. The "Metroid-vania" format's a successful one, and it's perfect for portable gaming, but by the time I was about 75% through Portrait's castle, I was tired of it.
