bought this game at the end of 2006 thank god no touch screen mini game for placing bosses in seals. this game is great and i still play it? its after bloodlines but europe knows that game as castlevania: the new generation. because bloodlines takes place during world war 1 and this epic title is at the end of world war II. mis the days. so are games never made anymore
Same. I got it for christmas when I was only 7. I was never able to beat it back then, but using an action replay I was able to enjoy it quite a bit, at least, for a 7 year old. Eventually I got to the level where I could play through it properly and it's honestly one of my favorite games still.
Konami based the gameplay on other previously released game for the MSX system back in the 80s: The Maze of Galious. It is an early example of "metroidvania" game and feature both a male and a female character that you have to alternate to succeed in the game.
Order of Ecclesia still the king :D but PoR is hella dope too, too bad it's kinda easy and full of recycled assets (not to mention the disappointing anime style, yikes)
@@wallacesousuke1433 "doesnt belong in a Castlevania game" In all honesty that aint really true, Castlevania is pretty much an anime without anime design. Sure Portraits of Ruin didnt end up being incredibly popular thus you could say it jackfired. But the moment the Universe makes a whole plot about humans going to hunt a Vampire King upon Several Generation, you essentially written an anime scenario without the anime part. Ofc its all opinions and all but id say Design is less a reason why the game didnt end up as a classic over the story which is ultimately ultra generic by that point, with many reused assets that worked best with the other games
@@kyoushikikunt You just described what underrated is, It's clearly not bad but people don't give it the credit it deserves. I think it's one of the best games of the franchise.
Having played all the Metroid style Castlevanias recently, I think I can say this one might have the best soundtrack in the series. There are so many bangers it's crazy!
Wasn't so difficult. Just equip the armor which makes any damage dealing only 10% of your health (and if you saved previous food and potions from already complete runs you don't have to worry)
Out of the 3 DS Castlevania games, this is my favorite one. And it's one of my top 3 favorite Castlevania games. Also the soundtrack of this game is amazing.
Ahh the good old Childhood-memories do you remember the Bossfight with the two daughters of (forgot his name) where you needed to cast the Sanctum-spell...
Agreed. I love the strategy with the two characters, the length of the game with all the levels, the difficulty, the sequel to Bloodlines, and the OST is the best.
I liked this game a lot more than dos. Better music, bosses, story, locations, combat, everything. I haven't finished order of ecclesia (Last time I played I defeated the shadow boss) but so far it's the worst. (not that it's bad)
I agree. All the DS Castlevania games are great. But PoR is the one I like the most & it's one of my top 3 favorite Castlevania games; along with Symphony of the Night & Aria of Sorrows.
This game is seriously underrated. It was really good. Although I share opinion about Soma's game being the best even being a whip (vampire killer) defender. But the double character and the music is art. Lots of fun with POR. Jonathan! Charlotte!!
This was my first castlevania game. I had played several before but this one was mine, finished, got everything and all that and to this day. The music plays in my head sometimes.
All the DS Castlevania's were some of the best that follow the original storyline till Ninja theory took over, altered the storyline and turned it into a God of War game.
There is nothing wrong with 3D or 2D Castlevanias.If it's not broke don't fix it.God of war wasn't the first game like that.....Rygar I believe began that era of epic adventures.
tinyraptor a former gf of mine had her eyes set on a Succubus statuette from SoTN but the seller decided that his house burned down and wouldnt accept the offer pfff. THEY ARE OUT THERE. but good luck
my top 5 favorite songs: 1. 56:30 (Iron Blue Intention) 2. 3:54 (invitation of a Crazed Moon) 3. 18:18 (Jail of Jewel) 4. 16:05 (Silent Prison) 5. 51:28 (Crusifix Held Close)
A Completionist completed all of Wind/Eric’s quests. A True Completionist Mastered all of Jonathan’s skills and found every single spell including Dual Crush!! This is ripe for another Castlevania collection on modern consoles to get some more Trophies/Achievements! If only they can figure out how to translate the DS mechanics to them….
4). 3:54 Invitation of a Crazed Moon 13). 22:13 Hail from the Past (Sandy Grave Portrait) 15). 27:27 The Gears go Awry 25). 49:20 In search of the Secret Spell (Forgotten City Portrait)
Everything this game offered was awesome as ever. But I think I know why it's called portrait of ruin, and it's for a very good reason too XD Every character in the game lost their Ayami kojima touch and their portraits were ruined ...
portait of ruin is probably my second favorite Castlevania game because of the soundtrack SOTN is my favorite because of the story and soundtrack but this one is second because the soundtrack is so good and the story was eh

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, the adventures of "JONATHAN!" "CHARLOTTE!" "JONATHAN!" "CHARLOTTE!" "JONATHAN!" "CHARLOTTE!"
I love Jonathan's death scream; it sounds like he's powering up, not dying.
"HUUUURAAAARGHHH"
portrait of ruin TAS in a nutshell
that isn't as funny as Aria of Sorrow Julius TAS.
"HuhuuhuhuhuHUEhuhuhuhuHUEHUE!"
It was worth dealing with. but yes, listening to these songs I'm hearing the names in my head.

+BloodyBay Fixed. Thank you for pointing that out.
BloodyBay Yup. :-)
White Raven Lol. Thanks.
Thanks dude !
Iron blue Intention is one of Michiru Yamane's finest themes. And it's also the theme from the German Factory in Bloodlines, which she also scored.
I've always thought this game was criminally underrated. It's probably my favourite portable Castlevania.
Agree, though Ecclesia is a very VERY close second.
bought this game at the end of 2006 thank god no touch screen mini game for placing bosses in seals. this game is great and i still play it? its after bloodlines but europe knows that game as castlevania: the new generation. because bloodlines takes place during world war 1 and this epic title is at the end of world war II. mis the days. so are games never made anymore
the SNES one, IV, rocks
Definitely in my top 3 favorite Castlevania games.
Songs in this game were epic af, I still remember playing this game on the DS, one of my favorite Castlevanias.
Same. I got it for christmas when I was only 7. I was never able to beat it back then, but using an action replay I was able to enjoy it quite a bit, at least, for a 7 year old. Eventually I got to the level where I could play through it properly and it's honestly one of my favorite games still.
I agree.
I really liked all the DS castlevanias ( and GBA for that matter ) and I'm gonna miss these 2d Castlevanias, alot.
***** On the bright side there's Bloodstained now!
lokik21 Indeed! So looking forward to that game.
What's bloodstained? :O
go get Blodstained ritual of the night! new igavania game release this year
www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night
and III for NES, IV for SNES were good too.
This game has one of the best gameplay mechanics in a castlevania game. is really addicting and fun =)

Underrated game. Amazing music.
TERRIBLY underrated.
Best DS 'vania title, hands down. Even one of the best in the series.
Why underrated? No one said it was bad thou
@@kyoushikikunt You just described what underrated is, It's clearly not bad but people don't give it the credit it deserves. I think it's one of the best games of the franchise.
My favourite after SOTN
The art style doesnt help
Michiru Yamane and Yuzo Koshiro is such a dream team of composers, this OST is unreal
My personal favorites:
4). 3:54 Invitation of a Crazed Moon
11). 18:18 Jail of Jewel
17). 31:42 Meeting of Destiny
Ahh, I played this game and Dawn of Sorrow so much on my old DS ;) Loved every minute of it.
19:44 so damn catchy, lol The best soundtrack of the series imo, basically every song is good. It's a drawn with Symphony.
From all Castlevanias, this one had the musics I most loved.
+Dyzinel But it had no Bloody Tears., my favorite Castlevania song.
Having played all the Metroid style Castlevanias recently, I think I can say this one might have the best soundtrack in the series. There are so many bangers it's crazy!
Comment Section:
33% saying they grew up with the game
33% saying that the music is great
33% saying Charlotte is hot
And I agree, she's pretty hot ;)
EH LOOK CHARLOTTE IS THICC
The music I grew up with is hot.
1% holy water?
She's supposed to be 16 if i recall correctly. There she looks like in her 20s. Which its better.
charlotte's a peep
3:54 we all know that this is the best soundtrack here.
Hoo man, gotta agree. Once i heard it, it stuck with me, like Simon's Quest 2.
yess... I'm always so happy when you enter that area and it starts playing lol
This, and 'In Search of Secret Spell'
and The Gears Go Awry, and Silent Prison, and Hail from the Past
and 'Bad Situation'
3:54 MY FUCKIN' JAM
its classic
the whole damn thing... i should finish what i'm doing, but playing this game just got more important
Oddly enough it sounds like it should be in full metal alchemist
In Rugrats, Angelica’s mom, Charlotte is always talking to Jonathan.
Hmmmmmmm... Mind blown.
Its only the anime girls though isent it
Although it may not be considered one of the "classics", Portrait of Ruin was definitely one of my favorites.
I thought it was the best of all the Metroidvania games.
I liked aos slightly more, but it's my 2nd favourite. (Haven't played harmony games and circle of the moon, though)
Agreed. PoR is amazing & it's one of my top 3 favorite Castlevania games of all time. Along with Symphony of the Night & Aria of Sorrows.
I was always amused by the official artwork with the games release.
Female artist: Charlotte = flat as a board.
Male artist: Charlotte = *ka-BOING!*

well, welcome to Men dude XD
"not bad huh!!!"
16:05
27:27
33:53
41:22 (pie throwing theme)
These are all certified bangers. This game was a gem
LOL completed the game yesterday, I also figured that pie is best weapon against Richter. Didn't know it was common, dude doesn't like sweets(
3:54 IS SO NOSTALGICCC! ;W; I literally haven't heard this song in YEARSSSSSSSSSS!
I still have nightmares of trying out Level 1 Hard Mode for the first time. That shit changes a man.
@cleber simao Anjel Paula same; I think Order of Eclessia was way harder, specially the training hall and large cavern at the highes difficulty.
Wasn't so difficult. Just equip the armor which makes any damage dealing only 10% of your health (and if you saved previous food and potions from already complete runs you don't have to worry)
Goddamn this is nostalgic. I can't believe I got this game 10 years ago, and it was released even earlier than that. Good times.
Underrated game. One of the best Castlevania with one of the best soundtrack
I love ''Overture'''in this game :D
Some of the best Castlevania's in existence.Wonder if they will ever bring the originals back in there glory....
Out of the 3 DS Castlevania games, this is my favorite one. And it's one of my top 3 favorite Castlevania games. Also the soundtrack of this game is amazing.
Castlevania: Portrait of THOUSAND BLADES!!!!! *proceeds to instakill bosses*
same
More like Portrait of "My vampire killer does about 230-300 damage per hit hard mode lvl 1 ftw" .
holy....
LIGHTNING!!!
10). 16:05 Silent Prison
13). 22:13 Hail from the Past (Sandy Grave Portrait)
Ahh the good old Childhood-memories do you remember the Bossfight with the two daughters of (forgot his name) where you needed to cast the Sanctum-spell...
Took me sooooo blasting long xD
hah i remember how long it took me to realise that u need that spell ^^ and then actually timing it perectly to hit them.
Love this game's OST alot & so is the game itself. Personally, my favorite Castlevania game & one of my favorite games of all time.
lol you commented here one year after your previous comment..
I love the Name Entry theme so much, something about it is deeply nostalgic even though I've never played this game before.
Nostalgia!
Especially this song as I was stuck on this part for ages as a kid 25:08.
Yea i got stuck where you have to get the key from granfaloon
God the memories ^^ in fact i dont even remember getting much further anyways, these parts always confused me
My fav game ! To much memories Y__Y
The best castlevania of DS
It's really good but I still had a lot more fun with Dawn of Sorrow.
I just had a little more fun with DoS. PoR is amazing.
Agreed. I love the strategy with the two characters, the length of the game with all the levels, the difficulty, the sequel to Bloodlines, and the OST is the best.
I liked this game a lot more than dos. Better music, bosses, story, locations, combat, everything. I haven't finished order of ecclesia (Last time I played I defeated the shadow boss) but so far it's the worst. (not that it's bad)

I've never heard a Castlevania soundtrack so full of themes from other Castlevania games!
What about Circle of the Moon? Its soundtrack is mostly remixes
It also uses musics from King's Valley II (an MSX game released in 1988). Michiru Yamane herself made the musics for that game.
9:47 Then your brain automatically: "I will make you a deal".
"thank you!"
This game is seriously underrated. It was really good. Although I share opinion about Soma's game being the best even being a whip (vampire killer) defender. But the double character and the music is art. Lots of fun with POR. Jonathan! Charlotte!!

awesome
Yuzo Koshiro is the law!
So much good music coming out of my little DS back then!!!!!!!!!!!, all these Castlevania's had really good music(well at least i liked it alot)
Victorian Fear is probably the best OST on here.
56:30 for me. Love that entrance. XD
City of Haze music is so good
i dont get it
i dont get it
I couldn't ask for a better sequel to one of my favorite genesis games.
Thank you for this
Charlotte hasn't got much, but this particular artwork sure does show it off
All the DS Castlevania's were some of the best that follow the original storyline till Ninja theory took over, altered the storyline and turned it into a God of War game.
Mercury Steam, not Ninja Theory..
Derr, my mistake. Ninja Theory screwed up Devil May Cry, not this series.
Not just the storyline, but the game mechanics as well. Quick Time Events... WTF
There is nothing wrong with 3D or 2D Castlevanias.If it's not broke don't fix it.God of war wasn't the first game like that.....Rygar I believe began that era of epic adventures.
I DO Agree, but the first LoS for me its a very good game, the rest, meh.
They also fucked up Metroid jajaja, tho, Dread is quite good
51:30. i love this song
Love that Sandy Grave level theme
Anyone else repeat the boss lines when their themes are heard?
Yes and then HOLY LIGHTNING
I love this game so much. NDS had the best castlevanias. If only they made a port of SOTN to DS.
It would be too powerful. The world can only handle so much Castlevania on one device
Nah screw the NDS, they should remake all games for today's hardware
i wish there were some castlevania figures to add to my collection. (._. )

These two are exactly my favourites. Awesome. Greetings friend.
i fucking love this game and his soundtrack
Best Castlevania on the DS hands down.
I agree.
@@jjc4924 I like PoR and OoE equally, Dawn of Sorrow wasnt as good due to the touchscreen seal nonsense
Wallace. I think all DS Castlevania games are amazing. It depends on your taste of opinions.
I fucking love this game and its soundtrack... in the face. TWICE!
Because of this game, I hate Richter. I had to heal during the fight to beat the guy.
I have such a crush on Charlotte
Feno Mozo So glad I'm not the only one.
***** Yeah but Shanoa is more for guys who like _hot_ girls, Charlotte is for guys who want _adorable_ girls.
+Gender Neutral Chibi Thing Those are some adorable hips.
ikacherful Oh. Right. She does have the booty...
***** I could go without knowing that.
Make a video with all of the Simon Theme songs throughout all the Castlevania Series.
I'd pay full price to play this game in surround sound ❤️
The city of haze song is my favourite
Great OST!

Everything this game offered was awesome as ever. But I think I know why it's called portrait of ruin, and it's for a very good reason too XD Every character in the game lost their Ayami kojima touch and their portraits were ruined ...
Is it me or this soundtrack sounds more old-school than SotN's ost.
portait of ruin is probably my second favorite Castlevania game because of the soundtrack SOTN is my favorite because of the story and soundtrack but this one is second because the soundtrack is so good and the story was eh
saying that aria of sorrow and dawn of sorrow are my second and third favs then its portrait
27:27 Best.
