#79 Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (Nintendo DS, 2008)

I really love the so-called "Igavania" games. Although I could play endless games based on the Symphony of the Night formula, I appreciate that Order of Ecclesia deviates somewhat. Like Dawn of Sorrow, you acquire abilities from the enemies you defeat, but this game completely eschews the weapon system of other Castlevania games and you rely only on "Glyph" spells obtained from enemies.



Ecclesia also leaves the open-ended Castle for much of the game, allowing you to play through mostly linear stages that you select from the world map. Like the other games, there are multiple endings that can stop you early, but unfortunately in this game it's pretty hard to get anything but the good ending unless you play very sloppy and miss one of your objectives.

All things considered, a very good game, but there are better Castlevania games out there.
