Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - Belmont Edition
Kainreaver's hack puts Richter Belmont in Shanoa's place in Order of Ecclesia, with whips as the main melee weapon.
What it is
Belmont Edition is a hack of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia by Kainreaver, released on the Castlevania Modding forum in July 2022. Richter Belmont replaces Shanoa as the playable hero, and most of her voice clips have been swapped for his.
What's new
- Richter as the main character, with the story lightly reworked to fit him
- Whips added to the game and made the main melee weapon
- Whips hit twice and cost double MP, so carrying one whip with something else in the other hand works better than wielding two, closer to how older Castlevania games play
The author describes it as a simpler project than the big overhaul hacks. Known issues: a couple of leftover Shanoa voice clips, the Japanese voice option doesn't match the new character, and a few sprite parts may look slightly off.
Playing it
The release thread provides an xdelta patch for your own copy of the US version of the game. Whip sprites partly by Serbagz.
