In this game unlike the other Castlevania's you have more than a whip. You
start out with a blade and as the game progress you can be granted the ability
to combine items to create your own weapons, armor and accessories. Similar
to the online game "Kingdom of Loathing" you obtain innocent devils through
your dark arts who will blindly follow you into battle aiding you in the way
that only they can. Some are destined to be healers, while others are useful
in crossing large gaps.
