Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Turns Bosses Into Friends

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Turns Bosses Into Friends https://ift.tt/GzwtV8H Belmont's Curse looks to add a lot of good ideas to the Castlevania series' formula. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is another in that recent lineage of search action titles, taking the solid foundation of Konami's storied vampire-hunting, monster-killing franchise, and enhancing it with some of the smart elements like parries, dodges, and Estus flask-like healing abilities, that have become common in recent genre entries, as well as new ideas of its own.
