Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is an action role playing game for the Game Boy Advance.

Aria of Sorrow brings us back to the Action-RPG stylings that started in SOTN. You play as Soma Cruz, someone who is lead to Dracula’s Castle and finds out that he has the ability to control the powers of demons.

Not only do you have an equipment system allowing you to get new weapons, armor and such, but you also have the Soul System. This system allows you to gain the powers from all the various demons you will fight in Dracula’s Castle. There are four types of souls you can get: Bullet Type (those that give you a sub-weapon like ability, costing small amount of MP), Guardian Type (those that call upon the demon itself to give you an ability, costing lots of MP), Support Type (those that just add to your stats or give you an ability, but do not cost MP and are always active) and Ability Types (those that add special abilities, like Double Jumping).

This is a hack that serves as a fanmade sequel to the iconic Symphony of the Night, as such it not only features a brand new story but also features a returning cast of characters such as Richter, Maria, Shaft, Dracula, Succubus, and Alucard. Another it also features is returning items, weapons, and armors from the game as well. There has also be other features carried over from previous Castlevania games such as Maxim Kischine's legendary Stellar Sword, Dark Pain from the Lords of Shadow series, and the Laser Sword from Curse of Darkness. Another thing that has been added is changes to the majority of the music ingame using various fan favorite tracks from previous CV games such as Bloody Tears, Divine Bloodlines, Dracula's Castle, Nocturne, and many more, also there has been a there has been changes made to the ingame difficulty to make this Metroidvania more challenging for the players since Metroidvanias are traditionally rather easy.
For the best visual experience its HIGHLY recommended that you apply the Aria of Sorrow Recolor by JonataGuitar to this hack due to that hack's new palette going along very well with this hack's new sprites.


V1.1 of the hack features new changes from the previous release such as,


1.Changes to the whip knuckle, mach punch, cestus and poison fist animations.

2.Changes to the Dark Pain weapon and Hrunting weapons actually resembling their respective item icons.

and

3.Changes to the enemy stats.


Enjoy.
