That crimson curse -- is it despair, or hope? Set in 15th-century Paris, the battle of the Belmont family begins anew. "Castlevania: Belmont's Curse" is an exploration-based 2D action game co-developed* by KONAMI and Motion Twin & Evil Empire, known for their work on Dead Cells. The story unfolds in Paris, France, in 1499, 23 years after the events of the fan-favorite "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse." Rose Belmont, daughter of Dracula-slaying hero Trevor Belmont, wields a variety of weapons and skills, including the holy whip "Vampire Killer," as she explores the streets of Paris and Dracula's castle to hunt down monsters. *Evil Empire: development studio. Motion Twin: advisory studio. [Feature] Exhilarating whip action: The whip action that symbolizes the series has evolved even further, letting you race freely across the stages and adding speed and freedom to exploration and combat. [Feature] A wide variety of bosses and the "Arcana System": In addition to series-classic bosses such as Death, Medusa, and Carmilla, mysterious new bosses including Joan of Arc make their appearance. Defeated bosses are sealed into mysterious tarot cards carried by Rose, letting her borrow the power of these "Arcana" to gain spells and special actions. [Feature] Customize your combat with weapons and arcane devices: Rose's equipment can be customized using weapons, which come in 7 categories, and arcane devices, which provide various effects through offense and defense. Combine the gear you find while exploring to fight in your own style.
