About this game
Castlevania Dominus Collection brings together Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia. Their combat develops in different directions: combine souls with weapons, switch between Jonathan and Charlotte to use their individual abilities, or gather glyphs as Shanoa explores and fights. The collection also includes the original Haunted Castle and its redesigned counterpart, Haunted Castle Revisited. Rewind lets you retry a missed dodge, while saving and loading during play gives you a way to return to a particular encounter. Away from combat, browse production artwork and package designs or arrange music into playlists. Regional game versions are selectable, with separate save data for each version.
