the sequel to Aria of Sorrow

User Rating: 9 | Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow DS
It's been some time since i played this game. I played it back to back with Aria of Sorrow. It's basicly the same kind of game. Graphics are somewhat improved since the DS is a more powerful system, but they're not that much improved. When you defeat a boss you'll need to quickly draw a magical circle on the touchscreen to seal his fate. Otherwise he comes back and you have to finissh him again. The characters ad story are also a bit better and the whole game feels like an improvement over "Aria", which was a great game on it's own. Infact it's the best Castlevania game on the DS. It stays fresh and challenging as opposed to "Portrait of Ruin" and "Order of Ecclesia" which both start of great, but become very repetitive and dragging towards the end. A must-play for Castlevania fans.
