Castlevania: Order of Shadows is a mobile game developed for the Java Platform, Micro Edition, and released by Konami in September 2007.
Gameplay
Order of Shadows features gameplay similar to that of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and other games in the series: it's a platform game with RPG characteristics, like the HP, MP and experience points.
Desmond Belmont, the playable character, has also a lot of weapons to collect along the game, like axes, swords and hammers, besides his standard leather whip.
The game features the ability to swap out the existing soundtrack with songs from the original Castlevania.
Plot
Desmond Belmont and his two sisters, Zoe and Dolores, search Dracula's castle for a cult called "The Order" that is trying to resurrect Dracula.This game takes place in the late 17th century, and is a side story to the official canon, and thus, not part of Koji Igarashi's official timeline. The player takes control as Desmond Belmont, the heir of the Vampire Killer whip.
Development
Originally, the storyline was around a character named Gryff LaRue and his family of "mages and witches", but was modified as the Belmont clan has always been portrayed as a "family of warriors". After the rewrite, the story was changed to be more similar to traditional Castlevania stories, and made Desmond Belmont wield a whip instead of an axe or sword. The game was built "from the ground up" to be played on cell phones.
