  • Abstract:  On paper, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair sounds like a dream. A Castlevania game with six-player co-op, bringing together an all-star cast from the "Metroidvania" style titles, all rendered in glorious high-definition sprites. Sounds perfect, doesn'...

  • It’s a niggle, but not a serious one; Harmony of Despair is, after all, a timesink, so if you put in the hours, grind and grind and grind, you’ll be rewarded by what the game has to give up. Whether or not a few trippy magical abilities that you can sh...

  • Typically strong animation and music, Multiplayer really opens up the experience, Series fans will love seeing the cast together
  • Singleplayer way too grindy, Menus are confusing, often unhelpful, Kinda short if all six players are kicking ass

  • Castlevania, Vampirjagd, Fünf spielbare Charaktere
  • Teilweise unfair, Teils nervender Soundtrack
  • Der Arcade-Titel bietet coole Action in einem bekannten Szenario und jede Menge Spielspaß. Die teilweise recht schweren Boss-Gegner frustrieren aber an manchen Stellen. Angeblich soll der Umfang des Spiels durch weitere Updates ständig vergrößert werde...

  • What a great way to spend a Saturday. I played this great downloadable off and on from 9 in the morning until 12 at night by myself and with lots of different online parties. The varied game-play mechanics of the 5 different characters keeps things int...

  • von Riad Oelschlägel 'Castlevania: Harmony of Despair' ist trotz seines katastrophalen Ersteindrucks jeden einzelnen Microsoft-Point wert. Die traditionellen Gameplayelemente, die fast schon perfekt auf einander abgestimmt wurden, die unterschiedlich...

  • Fin retrografik, varieret og komplekst banedesign, en dyb og intens oplevelse over Xbox Live
  • For stor vægt på multiplayer, svært at koble sig online, middelmådig musik.

  • Abstract:  Castlevania on ollut aina minulle rakas pelisarja. Olen pitänyt koko ikäni klassisesta kauhusta ja sitä Castlevania on tarjoillut ämpärikaupalla. Vampyyrit, muumiot, ihmissudet ja muut hirvitykset ovat jo parin vuosikymmenen ajan purreet vampyyrintappa...
