Description from IGDB IGDB

Explore exotic locales through portals created by the lord of the castle! Switch characters in the heat of action or fight side-by-side using the abilities of both heroes! Battle hordes of enemies and huge bosses in the quest to vanquish evil! An ancient vampire threatens the fate of the world by utilizing Dracula's accursed castle and mystical paintings to open portals of Death. Battle together as Jonathan Morris, a young man who wields the legendary whip Vampire Killer, and Charlotte Aulin, a spellcaster with tremendous magical abilities. It's time to conquer evil in man's darkest hour.

Storyline IGDB

Portrait of Ruin takes place in the fictional universe of the Castlevania series. The series' premise is the conflict between the vampire hunters of the Belmont clan and the immortal vampire Dracula. The story occurs in Dracula's castle and is set in 1944 Europe during World War II. In addition to the castle, the main characters explore various different paintings that have been constructed by the villain named Brauner. The paintings act as portals to new areas and feature a distinct look that is different from the main castle.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

Similar to previous Castlevania games, Portrait of Ruin is a 2D Metroidvania that features side-scrolling action with an emphasis on exploration and combat. Role-playing game elements like leveling character statistics and collecting equipment that augment those statistics are also present. The player traverses Dracula's castle with the end goal of defeating Dracula. Aside from the castle, the main protagonists—Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin—explore other environments such as Egyptian-like deserts and London-like towns via painting-like portals dispersed throughout the castle. During the adventure, the heroes encounter 155 different enemies, which are kept track in a bestiary; many of which have appeared in previous Castlevania titles as standard monsters or bosses. As they progress, the duo learn new skills and acquire equipment and items that allow further exploration in the game. One of the main gameplay features is the ability to freely switch between two characters, similar to the "Julius mode" from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Jonathan and Charlotte can combine their powers to perform a powerful attack together known as "Dual Crush". Their combined abilities are needed in certain parts in order to solve puzzles and progress through the story. For example, the player must have both characters board two motorcycles and dodge obstacles while alternating between the two characters. Like previous games in the series, Portrait of Ruin has more than one ending that is determined by the player's actions during the story. The "bad" ending involves Jonathan and Charlotte only preventing Dracula's resurrection and finishes as a game over. The other ending sees all the vampire antagonists defeated and is considered the game's canonical ending.
