DESCRIPTION
The crusade against the vampire Dracula continues, as Castlevania debuts on DS with this fast-paced fighting adventure. Serving as a sequel to the GBA's Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (2003), Dawn of Sorrow returns players to the role of Soma Cruz, a noble hero who struggles to resist his accursed call to join the forces of evil. Players can enhance Soma's powers by collecting souls from defeated enemies, or by trading them wirelessly with other Dawn of Sorrow players. The monster-bashing action plays out in the lower screen, in a style similar to that of the series' various 2D side-scrolling classics, while character statistics and other background information are displayed above, removing the need to constantly pause the game to check currently equipped powers and weapons. This chapter in the Castlevania epic was produced by Koji Igarashi and other key members of the team responsible for acclaimed Aria of Sorrow. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“This is my favorite Castlevania game so far. The Soul system is a great addition to the series and it's nice to see the classic monsters (plus some new ones) looking so beautiful.”

“The only Metroidvania installment of the franchise I've played. Gameplay is high-quality and still difficult like in the old days. The RPG elements were pretty cool, as were the powers you gained from enemies. The plot didn't seem very interesting, but since when was Castlevania about the story? Check this one out if you want a solid, long-lasting platformer that is quite challenging as well. (Owned and not completed. Accurate rating is 7.75)”

“Riding the coat tails of Symphony of the Night this game brings to the table what new age castlevania fans have come to expect from the series. The animation was stellar, the backgrounds were gorgeous, and the music was just one notch below the perfection that was Symphony of the Night. The story jumps around a bit but this game is a definate play.”

“For one of the first true sequels to come out of the Castlevania games, I'm glad they chose this particular story. The future setting is really good, and Soma's just a great character, and man trapped in a situation beyond his choosing.”
