Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

... than this game is for you. While Symphony of the Night is timeless, it is rather easy on replays which is where this game comes in. This game plays like a complete cross between Symphony of the Night and oddly Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, being that you trek through different areas before going to Castle Dracula at the end. You also can complete side quests for NPCs, there are multiple difficulty levels that make the game hard(er) than it already is and finally, interesting challenges like a Level 1 play-through and a Boss Rush mode.

Be warned though- this game is hard. It's difficult in the same way Demon's/Dark Souls are and that can turn some people off. However if you're someone who enjoys a fair, balanced challenge like those two mentioned games, and wish that Castlevania would go back to being difficult like they were on the NES, but not be as cheap or unfairly difficult as those games are known to be, than this game is for you.

There is honestly no flaws to this game besides if you're easily turned off of a game being challenging but that's less this game's fault and more the players. Every boss has a learnable pattern, or every boss is quite challenging for that matter unlike the recent Castlevania games, and quite often if the game is too difficult than the player should either go level up more and learn the enemy and boss patterns for that section.
