The second game in the Castlevania series for the DS, you can now switch on the fly between two protagonists. Jonathan Morris lets his whip do the talking and Charlotte Orlean is more magic oriented. Instead of collecting souls to gain abilities (like in Dawn of Sorrow), you now collect items that monsters drop occasionaly. When you collect certain items, you gain new abilities. The game is far larger than Dawn of Sorrow, letting you venture outside of the castle on numerous occasions. You can also choose to seek out rare items and complete side quests.
