Citadale: Gate of Souls (Castlevania-like) coming to Wii U, trailer

Citadale: Gate of Souls is an 8bit action game greatly inspired by the classic Castlevania games, and it’s coming soon to the Wii U (via the Nintendo eShop). In this game, you get to play as Sonja, in order to go through 6 stages filled with enemies, and of course, the usual bosses.

It may not look like it at first glance, but Citadale: Gate of Souls actually makes great use of the Wii U GamePad. There are two views:

• a close one, which shows your character moving around the levels [on the GamePad by default]
• an overview of the level, which allows you to see everything: the entire layout of the levels, but also hidden rooms, enemies waiting to ambush you from above, and more.

You can switch between the two views at any time, so if you prefer to have the overview on the GamePad instead of the TV screen. And you don’t have to worry about anything if you’re not interested in that dual-screen set up: you can also play using the Wii U Pro Controller, a Wii Remote, and even the Wii Classic Controller. The game is also compatible with Off-TV.

Here’s a trailer showcasing this dual-view system:
