Now that Dracula is vanished, you must fight back the curse cast upon all Europe.
There is but one problem, another Dracula servant does not approve with your plan.
Being a Devil Forgemaster now gives the player an ability to forge familiars to fight by your side.
As the player himself, they have levels and they can even morph to a different stage depending which weapon you use to fight with them.
The game has some basic role-playing elements such as character attributes and experience.
Unlike Castlevania: Lament of Innocence , you are now able to use many types of weapons: Axes, swords, spears, knuckles and even shields for example.
You can also craft your own weapons either by using an existing weapon as a base, and having some additional material such as bronze, steel and aluminium or having an extra amount of materials.
The battle system allows you to lock on to an enemy and hit them with multiple combos.
You have some control on your Innocent Devil, and can command it to use certain skills, guard you and join the fight.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Castlevania: Curse of Darkness for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Castlevania: Curse of Darkness to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
