by Castlevania – Aria of Sorrow (U)(GBATemp) GBA ROM Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is the third Castlevania installment for the Game Boy Advance, bringing the tale of Castlevania to the 21st century and putting players in the shoes of Soma Cruz, a seemingly-normal guy who has the power to absorb souls of the castle’s demons and equip them.
The game has a great variety of weapons, and similar to souls games stats are not always the deciding factor on which you should use. Sometimes you’ll be facing a large number of flying enemies requiring you to change from your short sword to a katana which has an arc when swung, other times you may need to make every second count and thus switch to a fast swinging dagger. The point is there isn’t always a “best” weapon and to survive you must change weapons according to the situation.
Much like the other Castlevania games, Aria of Sorrow dumps you in the middle of Dracula’s giant, danger-ridden castle. Unlike the other titles, however, this game doesn’t place you in the shoes of a Belmont, or anyone who seems to have any relation to Dracula at all. Instead, you are Soma Cruz, a guy who just happened to be sucked into Dracula’s castle through a solar eclipse. Unique to Soma is his ability to dominate the souls of the monsters that he’s killled, giving him their attacks, abilities, and attributes. This is, in my opinion, easily the best of the three GBA Castlevania titles, and strives to be innovative while sticking with the tried and true base of Castlevania.
