Part of this is review is adapted from the original review written by Loren Halek for Colony of Gamers. Co-op is where it's at and is an enjoyable experience. If you're in this for only the solo experience you're going to want to skip Castlevania: Harmony of Despair at $15. Ultimately I feel you can find many hours of enjoyment in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, helped no doubt by the three game modes single, survival and co-op. Once you know the paths to the end boss of each level you may become disinterested in the game, but joining up with other players will usually mix it up a bit as you start at a different Grimoire than you would in single-player.

Another plus to co-op is that any item picked up or chest opened will be duplicated for all characters, so the opener is not the only one that benefits.Įven though the game has no real story, this is a fun experience whether playing alone or with up to five other people.
Another bonus to playing co-op is the ability to resurrect dead players with the water of life item, although you can also play as a straight skeleton while being dead. Harmony of Despair is a multiplayer arcade game that supports up to six players however, solo play is still possible and enjoyable. Along with this you can also pull of combo moves if other people are playing that result in massive damage (queue robotic history crab). The only problem with playing on your own is that you are going to have a tough time beating the bosses whereas if you had multiple people you’d be able to hit them from all sides. I am very impressed by the level design and even though I wasn’t playing through a game with a deep storyline, there is a lot of fun to be had both alone and with others, at least early on. Playing as a group will also grant access to secret passageways and treasure chests otherwise unavailable when played solo. The negative part of this is that you cannot change your setup at any time, something you can do in most games in the series. The good news is that this experiment mostly works, even if it comes at the expense of a proper single-player mode. This is a daring twist on a tried and true franchise, one that may split a lot of gamers. Here you can go in and change your offensive and defensive loadout by pressing the right trigger. Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is a multiplayer game first and a single-player game second. There are also points on the map where the Grimoire icon is. There are multiple ways to get to said boss in each level, but it does behoove you at least early on to open up whatever treasure chests you can see on the map to gain money and items.
In each level you have 30 minutes to beat the boss of the area and continue on. It won't have a cohesive story but.since when was Castlevania known for its stories (Castlevania is here Destroy it/Stop Castlevania from coming) Well, for me at least, i liked Circle of the Moon's story, and some related clashes, Aria of Sorrow's story, Dawn of Sorrow, not so much Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia was cool also.
