«©NCSX» The vampire-killing Belmont family is on hiatus but that doesn't mean Dracula and company can relax. A new order is on the prowl and working overtime to keep the vampire hordes from running rampant. The Order of Ecclesia has taken up the duty of corralling Dracula and their agent of destruction is a young woman named Shanoa.

   The new Akumajou (aka Castlevania) game introduces the Glyph system where Shanoa uses the mystical sigils to create a sword, a throwing dagger, or more exotic armaments. Every weapon that's made from a glyph uses magic power and Shanoa will have to watch her use of certain weapons lest they consume her available MP at a rapid pace just as the undead are pressing the attack.

   The Konamistyle Limited Edition of Akumajou Dracula: Order of Ecclesia includes the following items:

» Akumajou Dracula Order of Ecclesia game card
» Akumajou Dracula Order of Ecclesia Original Soundtrack (2 CD collection which contains a total of 54 tracks of music)
» A genuine leather-bound notebook which is imprinted with the "Order of Ecclesia" symbol and the "Castlevania OoE" logo on the front cover.
» Glossy akumajou Dracula Poster which features Shanoa and Albus

   The poster features an expanded version of the artwork that's shown on the cover of the Original Soundtrack.

   Due to the special arrangements required to import this item into the United States, NCS is pricing the bundle at US$120.90 and preorders will be shipping today. We have a small surplus for new orders.

This item may also be known as: Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia or Akumajou Dracula Ubawareta Kokuin.

NCS Game Notes
At the outset of the game, we learn that Shanoa has been chosen by Barlowe, the head of the Order of Ecclesia, to take into her body a weapon called the Dominus. Her compatriot Albus is however outraged that their master has broken his promise to him that he would wield the Dominus. During Shanoa's integration ceremony, Albus disrupts the proceedings and takes the weapon. Later, Shanoa recovers from her wounds but has suffered a loss of memory. Master sends her on a mission to find Albus and recover the Dominus. He tells her that only she can use the weapon but Albus may find a way to use it himself...

Shanoa's a dashing heroine who obtains the Confodore (rapier) Sigil at the outset of the game. By pressing the "X" and "Y" buttons, she can chain together attacks to vanquish skeletons and screaming banshees. A stronger attack called a Glyph Union can be meted out by pressing up on the D-pad along with both "X" and "Y" buttons together but such a move consumes HP instead of MP. Later on, she'll gain the Magnes Glyphl which gives her the ability to adhere to metallic tether points in order to scale heights.
