Castlevania Aria Of Sorrow

Castlevania Aria of Sorrow

Released for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance in 2003.

This third and last game of the castlevania series for the Gba.

In my opinion it´s one of the best Gba available for the system and the best of the three games.

The story follows the same Dracula theme, where this time Dracula is dead but there´s someone trying to inherit his powers. With that our hero is caught in the event and it´s his job to stop it and save his friend which was also caught in this perilous event.  

It follows the same type of gameplay as the previous games being a action adventure game with Rpg elements. In terms of customization the game suffered a great update since your main weapon is not limited to the traditional whip of the series, enabling the player the player to choose their weapon of choice for example sword, spear, knife, axe etc.

The magic system has now a soul system that when you defeat an enemy you have a chance to capture his soul and each soul unlocks a skill. The game has lots of different enemies, so it has a huge number of skills to unlock and use, which allow the player to adapt his own play style quite well. 

The graphics are pretty good and the sound track does it job in setting the mood for the player.

Overall a truly amazing and fun game which everyone should try at least.
