How it plays
How does Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance play?
Players guide Juste through interconnected rooms from a side-scrolling perspective. The main objectives are to explore both castle versions, defeat bosses, collect keys and relics, rescue Lydie, and uncover the relationship between Maxim and Dracula.
Juste attacks with a whip and can use sub-weapons, spell books, equipment, and relics. New abilities open previously inaccessible routes, while weapons, armor, accessories, and healing items support character progression. The game also includes a second playable character, Maxim, after the relevant conditions are met.
