Castlevania: Harmony of Despair — gameplay includes a co-op mode (the Xbox 360 version only allows online co-op play, while the PlayStation 3 release supports local multiplayer) which plays like the "Boss Rush Mode" of previous 2D Castlevania games, but with several rooms and items that culminate in a boss battle. It also includes a player versus player battle mode. In this mode, some bosses can attack players during combat. The game features various characters such as Alucard, Soma Cruz, Jonathan Morris, Shanoa and Charlotte Aulin, all from previous 2D Castlevania games.
