CastleVania: Song of the Abyss

CastleVania: Song of the Abyss is a Japanese action thriller game released as a launch title for PlayStation Aegis.
== Synopsis ==
Set in the year of 2012, 13 years after Dracula's defeat, the Bellmont Clan's purpose has faded away, especially after the death of the Bellmont who killed Dracula as the half-Japanese teenage daughter of Julius Bellmont, Emiko Bellmont, learns that Dracula's castle has mysteriously reopened as she ventures forth, learning the truth behind the Castle as she has to face against demons and a deranged cult who want to summon a threat far worse than Dracula, Satan itself.
== Characters ==
=== Main ===
* Emiko Bellmont (voiced by Jenny Yokobori) - the somewhat foul-mouthed and sarcastic teenage daughter of Julius Bellmont who learns that the Bellmont's war against evil is not done yet as she ventures to the resurrected Castle Dracula, facing the cult and soon the rise of Satan himself.
=== Supporting ===
* Father Cedric Sinclair (voiced by TBD) - an aging and pious priest who found Emiko and recruited her in the quest to stop whatever is going on in Dracula's Castle as he guides her, although he can't really do much, refusing to enter the Castle.
* Victoria (voiced by TBD) - a mysterious yet goofy and silly shadowy spirit who is surprisingly friendly as she resides in Dracula's Castle and decides to find a way to help out Emiko, running some strange makeshift shop, although she can't be in the base camp.
=== Antagonists ===
* Satan (voiced by Logan Cunningham) - a horrific god-like entity and the Lord of Hell who was banished to Hell and could only grant powers to his champions, such as Dracula, as the Order of Satan has begun resurrecting him as he soon fully reawakens in Castle Dracula, wanting to plunge the world into chaos and despair.
* Francis Varney (voiced by Neil Newbon) - a cocky and charismatic yet violent vampire who was selected to be one of Satan's champions as he leads the cult searching to resurrect and resummoned Satan as he reopens Dracula's castle, sensing there is something in there that can bring him in contact with the Abyss to free Satan.
* Daughters of Arachne (Cleo, Maria and Tara) (voiced by Erica Lindbeck, Anairis Quiñones and Allegra Clark, respectively) - three spider-humanoids who reside in Dracula's Castle as they quite love to toy with their prey, fighting with each other and sometimes bickering with each other on who gets to eat Emiko.
=== Enemies ===
* Revenants - zombie knights who wander around Castle Dracula and are rather violent but easy to destroy.
* Medusa Heads - flying heads that target and fly towards Emiko, being quite easy to destroy.
* Bone Hounds - skeletal wolves that are near feral and are extremely aggressive and violent.
== Gameplay ==
The game is a 2D roguelike with Metroidvania elements as you play as Emiko Bellmont who ventures into Castle Dracula. There is a base camp outside of Castle Dracula where you can talk to allies you either made before your trek or during it. There you can also upgrade yourself to make your new runs better as well as you can unlock both primary and secondary weapons as both can be upgraded and take different Bellmont forms as well. While venturing through the castle you enter rooms where you can either collect coin to buy at a shop to get temporary boosts, items to unlock weapons and upgrades to yourself and weapons, encounter a lone wanderer who grants you an unique upgrade or can cross a wandering boss. After clearing twenty rooms, you arrive to a boss room as there is usually a single boss although how the boss fights could change.
=== Items ===
*Heavenly Keys - golden keys that can be used to unlock new weapons.
== Areas ==
* TBD - TBD. Boss: TBD. Wandering Bosses: TBD. Lone Wanderer: TBD.
* TBD
== Weapons ==
*Vampire Killer - a legendary whip dating centuries that Emiko gets as she uses it on her quest to kill Varney and Satan.

==Trivia ==
*The game is set in its own continuity that keeps some of the CastleVania games canon but makes some of them non canon, with the jumping point being 1999, aka the defeat of Dracula.
