This is a great multiplayer game when you get a group going. Stuck on PS3/Xbox. Met some cool people playing this before, and a complete package would be an insta-buy for me.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair should have been part of the Castlevania Dominus Collection! It's one of the best offline multiplayer games I've ever played! It's a lot of fun to play with friends in the same room! The boss battle in the third stage, which takes up almost the entire map, is spectacular! This game deserved to be included in the last collection, which even uses sprites and scenarios from the three games in the Dominus Collection! But I hope Konami fixes this injustice! Castlevania: Harmony of Despair deserves to be re-released for PC so we can play with our friends, whether online or offline, which in my opinion is the best way to play!
Dropped an INCREDIBLe amount of hours into this one when i was younger. always happy to play healer with charlotte or run as fast as possible with sonic boots. Please bring it back, I regularly tell my friends about this game as one of the highlights of multipler castlevania.
Yes, it will definitely be a great addition to the game collection on the GOG platform. Step into the shadows of the hell house: Castlevania is back in all its pixel-powered 2D glory. Call upon the series' most hallowed heroes and vanquish your nemesis, Dracula! All-new multiplayer modes like 6-player Co-op and Survival have been whipped up for you, too... but enough talk. Have at it!
playing this with a bunch of friends locally was such a blast, grinding for treasure, dying to dumb traps and easy bosses and navigating the map as the screen got smaller and smaller as you moved apart gave me some great memories

Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Muramasa: The Demon BladeBased on ancient Japanese lore, Murumasa: The Demon Blade plunges players into the mystical Genroku era, ruled by the skilled shogun Tsunayoshi Tokogawa. But this culture is threatened; Tokugawa's thirst for power leads to a conflict over the enormously powerful, though cursed, Demon Blades. Used in hatred, drenched in blood, the cursed blades condemn those who use them to tragedy, madness, and untimely deaths. As chaos spreads, denizens from the netherworld breach their realm as these malevolent swords summon evil spirits -- and the Dragon and Demon Gods as well. Featuring hand-drawn 2D art reflecting the heritage and tone of the storyline, Muramasa: The Demon Blade transports players into a little known mythology, envisioned by the creators of the critically acclaimed Odin Sphere. Players take on the role of a male ninja or female kunoichi, utilizing their ninja prowess to traverse the clever side-scrolling levels that feature vertical progression as well as the traditional horizontal stage advancement.

Nights: Journey of Dreams
Nights: Journey of DreamsThis time around, however, Nights takes a bit of a different turn. Keeping in line with the "world of dreams" theme – it wouldn't be Nights without it – players will take control of Will and Helen, two young children each entering into Nightopia (the world of dreams) with their own back-story, emotional baggage, and inner demons that come to life though the forming of nightmares. It's a pretty simple concept overall, and with each child's five main levels you'll get a different piece of the story leading up to the same grand finale. Once they arrive in the land of dreams, each character meets up with a Nights almost instantaneously, and from there learns to meld with the mysterious creature and fly through the world of Nightopia. Along the way you'll learn of the quest to find the hidden Ideya (basically essences of the human spirit), and eventually attempt to defeat a powerful god-like creature named Wizeman and his right-hand man Reala.
