...nning with Symphony, the design underwent a total transformation into an elegant, hauntingly beautiful appearance inspired by the European Mannerist and Baroque art periods befitting of its romantic Gothic horror theme. As such the characters' dress and condition evolved into ornate and grand ensembles including flowing jackets, vests and period attire and the imagery and landscape of the castle and surrounding locales became lush and lavish. The two Nintendo DS Castlevania games' art style reverted back to a simpler anime style similar to that of the original dracula X: Rondo of Blood in hopes of broadening the player demographic by not discouraging slightly younger Nintendo DS owners to be put off by the more mature image of Kojima's art. [5] dawn of Sorrow was the first game to receive this makeover, and the second DS release Portrait of ruin followed suit. Kojima returned for the psp remake of Rondo of Blood, Castlevania: The dracula X chronicles.

The first games in the series to employ 3D graphics were released to mixed reactions in critical and public venues. These include Castlevania and Castlevania: Legacy of darkness for the Nintendo 64. In Castlevania: Symphony of the night, as well as in the two DS titles, backgrounds were occasionally three-dimensional.

Koji Igarashi has stated that if The dracula X chronicles does well, the series may return to the more traditional style of the original games, possibly suggesting further remakes for the Chronicles titles. ...more

Castlevania Recurring castle areas

... filled with prison cells (sometimes occupied), chains and wall handcuffs, and skeletons and corpses laying just about everywhere. The stages usually feature such enemies as bone throwing skeletons, hunchbacks, axe wielding knights, and sometimes mudmen. The stage's final stretch usually features a long hallway with these aforementioned knights and then a boss fight.

Arena or Colosseum
The arena has appeared in several Castlevania games as a place with a series of rooms with different enemies. The player must defeat all the enemies in a room to go to the next one, with an enemy free area in between to heal and regain mana. Rewards in the form of highly powerful weapons and armor would be at the end of the last room, or in the case of Aria of Sorrow, at the end of every room (there were only 3, however). The arena is not required in most of the games, but is rather just a place to get weapons and gain levels. In Circle of the Moon, the arena is extremely long, and the player is quickly drained of magic, to prevent the use of DSS (CotM's form of magic...more
