About Castlevania Dominus Collection
The Castlevania Dominus Collection bundles three action‑adventure titles—Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia—plus the newly redesigned Haunted Castle Revisited. All games feature the series’ classic 2D combat and story set in a gothic world.
The collection runs on Windows with full controller support, Steam achievements, cloud saves, and a save‑anytime option. Audio can be tuned with custom volume controls, and DualSense vibration is available for compatible gamepads.
01 / THE GUIDE
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Set a year after Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow follows Soma Cruz as a cult attempts to resurrect Dracula. The game introduces a weapon‑creation system that lets players combine souls to forge new weapons, all displayed in vivid 2D graphics.
Within the collection, the Save Anytime feature lets players record progress at any moment, ensuring that experimentation with soul combinations does not force a full restart of a level.
- Save before trying a new soul combination to avoid losing progress.
- Experiment with different soul mixes in low‑risk areas first.
02 / THE GUIDE
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Portrait of Ruin adds two protagonists, Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin, who can be swapped with a single button press. Their distinct abilities complement each other as they explore a resurfaced Dracula’s Castle and uncover a hidden mastermind.
Full controller support lets players toggle characters smoothly, while the Save Anytime option allows a quick record of progress after solving puzzles or defeating enemies.
- Switch characters to use the ability that best fits the current obstacle.
- Save after unlocking a new area to prevent backtracking.
03 / THE GUIDE
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Order of Ecclesia follows Shanoa, the only human able to wield magical glyphs. Players collect glyphs from foes and explore the Castle to retrieve three stolen, powerful glyphs that can defeat Dracula.
The Save Anytime feature lets players preserve their glyph inventory before entering challenging sections, ensuring that progress is not lost during difficult battles.
- Gather glyphs from each enemy to expand your options before a boss fight.
- Save before entering a new Castle wing to keep your glyph collection safe.

Both the refreshed and original modes benefit from the collection’s Save Anytime capability and full controller support, allowing players to choose their preferred presentation.
