<p class='vspace'><a class='wikilink' href='/articles/castlevania-portrait-of-ruin-review/'>Portrait of Ruin</a> is the second Nintendo DS Castlevania game. Maybe, if Komani thinks it'll be worthwile, a third one will follow, since there have been three Castlevania games released for the predecessor the Gameboy Advance. All excellent Handheld Metroidvania games, but which one excels at what? A short overview would be handy indeed. Well here you go!

It only took Konammi one year to go from an [average Turtles entry point](/games/gameboy/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-fall-of-the-foot-clan) to this awesome second installment subtitled _Back From the Sewers_. I replayed this a year ago and while doing it again to collect screenshots for this article, I forgot how great this actually is, and what a quantum leap in presentation, gameplay, and sound this is, compared to _Fall of the Foot Clan_! Where to even begin?

@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ Perhaps it's best to start with the bad parts of _Turtles II_ on the Game Boy. O
On to the good parts then, and there are plenty. As soon as you boot up the cartridge, you're not just bluntly served the title screen---no, a true animated video-esque (they tried their best, it's the Game Boy, remember?) intro sets the stage and gets the vibes going, which eventually (and literally) morphs into the title screen logo. Woah.
This game has _Turtles_ vibes on it almost everywhere, from beginning to the very end. Just like the latest entry, [Shredder's Revenge](/games/switch/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-shredders-revenge), one of the primary reasons for this to click so well is the music. It's simply incredible. Komani knows how to get that 8-bit soundtrack going---the Castlevania GB entries were also stellar in terms of music. For instance, even in-between stages, when something unsettling occurred, such as a bomb that darkened the mood and increased suspension, the music changes as well. This might sound as self-evident in 2022, but in 1991, and especially for a tiny BG cartridge, it's mind-blowing.
