My favorite of the DS Castlevanias, I loved the glyph system used here, it was super fun to play around with. With it, you could equip either magic or swords to two face buttons, and use them pretty much freely due to fast recharging mana. My favorite was to equip two of the same to both buttons, then you could alternate to perform really satisfying one two punches, sword stabs, you name it. The game had a great gothic look, and I like its mix of linear levels and non linear ones. <3
