Our take on Castlevania Dominus Collection
The collection favors variety across separate adventures, so it gives up the continuity of a single campaign. Its focus on returning Castlevania titles also leaves the additional arcade material centered on Haunted Castle.
What is Castlevania Dominus Collection?
This collection includes Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia, plus Haunted Castle in a redesigned version and its original format.
Dawn of Sorrow follows Soma Cruz and lets players create weapons by combining souls. Portrait of Ruin features Jonathan and Charlotte, who can be switched with a button press and have different abilities. In Order of Ecclesia, Shanoa explores the castle and its surroundings, collects glyphs, and absorbs powers from defeated foes. The collection adds previously unseen art, rewind, and quick saves.
