Castlevania: Harmony of Despair Screens Show Off New Downloadable Monstrosities

In theory, Konami's upcoming Castlevania: Harmony of Despair should be a less freaky experience. After all, you'll be teaming up with friends to take down the various beasts in this labyrinth instead of braving it all by your lonesome. That said, the latest batch of screenshots for the downloadable game prove that there are still plenty of horrifying monsters left roaming the halls of Dracula's castle. You'll need friends to take these creatures down.

Seriously, though -- that head thing with multiple arms? What is that? Yuck.

If you're itching to try and take these foes on, call some friends and plan to form a raiding party on August 4. That's when Harmony of Despair arrives on Xbox Live Arcade.
