About this product

Product Information

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is the prequel to 1998's Castlevania on Nintendo 64, the first game in Konami's seminal vampire-hunting series to feature 3D graphics. Players guide a mysterious character named Cornell from a third-person viewpoint while advancing through 14 levels in Wallachia, Transylvania. The setting takes place eight years before the events from the first N64 game, and players will revisit many of the same areas in and around Dracula's castle.<br><br>Lead protagonist Cornell is an unusual Castlevania hero due to his ability to transform into a werewolf. The man-beast is forced into action after finding his village engulfed in flames and his sister Ada kidnapped for some diabolical purpose. With a hunger for vengeance and a thirst for blood, Cornell must track his sister's scent and save her from whatever accursed creature may have abducted her.<br><br>Along the way, players will battle skeletons, vampires, dragons, lizardmen, and other monsters before eventually confronting the legendary Dracula in his castle. Jewels left behind by fallen enemies allow Cornell to transform into a wolf or to replenish stockpiles of holy water, crosses, axes, and knives. Time is once again an important element in the game. Players can acquire moon and sun cards to alter time, allowing them to solve puzzles or to trigger events otherwise unavailable at night or during the day.

Not as good as Castlevania 64, but fun to play after
If you are interested in this game you are either a fan of Castlevania 64, or considering it as a more "true Castlevania" alternative. For the former, I say play it - it offers a new experience that extends the world of Castlevania 64 and offers new experiences their in. It does trade some of the feelings that the original crafted for more traditional Castlevania-action however. If you are the latter, I strongly recommend playing Castlevania 64 first with an open mind. The clunky controls and muddy graphics are less problematic than many reviews would have you believe, and the world that unfolds is ambient and rewarding to explore. Rather than defaulting to a more traditional Castlevania style, Castlevania 64 sets out to be a bigger experience that asks what it would might be like to really invade Dracula's castle in a more "realistic" 3D experience. It's an underated classic, and Legacy of Darkness is more of a cherry on top of that than it is an alternate or superior version.
