Castlevania: Harmony of Despair[a] is a platform-adventure game that is part of the Castlevania series. The game was first leaked as an OFLCA Rating on May 27, 2010,[4] then officially announced for Xbox Live Summer of Gaming 2010.[5][6] Later in the year, the game was unveiled as a playable demo in the Konami booth at the E3 Convention of 2010.[7] It was released worldwide on August 4, 2010[8] for the Xbox Live Arcade and September 27, 2011 for the PlayStation Network.
On March 14, 2019, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair was added to Xbox One backwards compatibility, marking the first time the series has been on another platform in nearly a decade.[9]
Gameplay[edit]
Gameplay includes a co-op mode (the Xbox 360 release only allows for internet co-op, while the PlayStation 3 release supports local multiplayer[10]) which plays like the 'Boss Rush Mode' of previous 2D Castlevania games, but with several rooms and items to find, culminating in a boss to fight. It also includes a versus mode, with battle occurring between players. Some bosses are able to attack players on their way to the fight.[11] The game features playable characters such as Alucard, Soma Cruz, Jonathan Morris, Shanoa and Charlotte Aulin, all from previous 2D Castlevania games.

I am so happy when you connect to my website. It created with the purpose is to share free games for all of you. At the present, more than 6000 free games are loaded on the website and it has still been in process of building, finishing the contents, so I hope that most of free games could be updated as soon as possible.
All of the characters include eight palette swaps to accommodate players that wish to be the same character.[12] Through downloadable content, additional characters were released, including an 8-bit version of Simon Belmont. The characters have their own signature attacks and skills to use in battle. An all-new map system allows real-time zooming in and out of the current stage, which will not stop gameplay and allow players to play with the map zoomed out.[12]
Other features in the game include a grimoire placed in certain parts of levels, which is the only way to change items and equipment mid-game. Only one type of consumable item such as a potion can be equipped at a time, but it can be consumed at will. Some healing items have an area effect, so they can also be used to heal other players as well. The experience point system from most newer 2D Castlevania games was replaced by a character-specific leveling system. Some characters must find weapons and equipment in order to improve their character, while others must level up sub-weapons or collect spells/souls as a means of character growth.[13] Alucard and Soma can equip most dropped weaponry, but Jonathan, Charlotte and Shanoa can only strengthen their main attack by upgrading sub-attacks, either by finding and using them or absorbing additional spells from monsters (Shanoa can also find a few rare weapons, unique to her only, to change her attack type and power).
Downloadable content[edit]
Additional stages and extra playable characters was added to the game as downloadable content (DLC).
Mar 12, 2018 - This kinda is important for future of my Switch. I am planning to download Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition later when it releases, but its 12GB! I don't know, but it seems like the wifi shuts off in sleep mode, as far as I can tell. Maybe it stays on if there is an active download. My switch goes to sleep mode during undocked mode and I come back to. Download a game though, it seems to cut off during sleep mode. Can the switch download games in sleep mode. Is there a way to make so a game download in sleep mode? It seems random for me, sometimes things will download in sleep mode other. Mar 31, 2017 - If you've already picked up Nintendo's new Switch console and you're downloading your games via the eShop, you might want to take advantage of the console's sleep mode. According to a new video, the Nintendo Switch actually downloads games from the online store faster if it's put into sleep mode.

Harmony of Despair was met with mixed reception.[26] Scoring it a 7.5, GameSpot praises the multiplayer where it's 'the best way to experience this new Castlevania, and it's the optimal way to experience what may be a new and fun potential direction for the series to take.'[22] GameTrailers commented on the exploration in comparison to previous games, mentioning that 'the thrill of discovery is gone, and in its place is the compulsive drive to acquire loot. Oddly enough, it works, and it can actually be a lot of fun with friends.'[13] Download osm file.
Resolution Magazine was disappointed with its 'somewhat fiddly gameplay' and for only having six different stages. They concluded their review with a score of 6/10.[27]Destructoid also awarded the game 6/10, stating that 'ultimately it feels like Castlevania Lite – a stripped down version of a real Castlevania game with none of the depth or clever design.'[28] Eurogamer criticised the multiplayer, mentioning that 'Harmony of Despair strips Castlevania down to its lowest common denominator in order to make multiplayer function, rather than reinventing the game to make multiplayer thrive'. It was given a final rating of 4/10.[21]
Game Informer's Tim Turi criticized the game's lack of 'progression and weapon variety' but appreciated its ambition and cooperative gameplay.[29]

Game Description & Reviews:
The second Castlevania title for the GBA, Harmony of Dissonance aims to be as close to Symphony of the Night as it possibly. Despite its terrible soundtrack (the only poor soundtrack that I’ve ever heard in a Castlevania title), the controls and graphics have been greatly polished up from the first GBA title, Circle of the Moon. Though a little too familiar at times, HoD’s insistence at emulating SotN isn’t enough to keep this Castlevania title from shining.
