Hello again folks! Here's some info (taken from the wiki) about this great game.
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (a play on "HD") is a multi-player Xbox Live Arcade game featuring characters, sprites, and locations from several different Castlevania titles. The story, such as it is, involves a cursed book called the Grimoire, in which the story of the evil citadel Castlevania is recorded. However the castle comes to life within the pages of the book, taking various forms from previous incarnations, and the heroes of the past, also recorded in the book and coming to life within its pages, must once again fight to put an end to the curse. This story allows characters from eras ranging from 1797 to 2036 to come together in the same castle to fight evil. There is up to six-player online co-operative play, and while it is beneficial to stick together, as characters can perform powerful combo attacks together, players have the ability to wander the castle freely, regardless of the location of the other players. There is no local co-op. Koji Igarashi has stated that the game may come to the Playstation Network in the future. Downloadable content will include new characters and stages.
The game is currently only on Xbox Live Arcade at the moment, for 1200 M$-points.
The games also has the following playable characters (at this time):
Alucard:
From Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Wields dark magic upon finding spells.
Soma Cruz:
From Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow. Can capture and harness enemy souls.
Jonathan Morris:
From Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. Can use the Vampire Killer whip and martial arts, as well as traditional Castlevania secondary items.
Charlotte Aulin:
From Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. Can bind monsters to her book and use them in the form of spells. (She actually absorbs spells within C:HD)
Shanoa:
From Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Can use glyphs, especially Magnes.
SWF users/Gamertags:
O D I N : Big Boss 0DIN ('Zero'-DIN)
ThreeX : Deeeeejay XL
More info to come when I'm not woken up by my dog at the crack of dawn...
