Game Description:
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).
Hack Description:
This update contains sprite/dialogue edits, as well as item/enemy/stat updates also.

This is a hack for Aria of Sorrow featuring the cast of Circle of the Moon. It acts as a sequel to Circle of the Moon where Hugh pursues the power he had when he was under Dracula's control. Carmilla, Nathan, and Morris make a return as well. Hugh uses his sword as his default weapon as well as eventually gaining sub weapons and other magical abilities. The gameplay remains unchanged, but certain enemies have been replaced, items stats and locations have been edited within the castle for a fresh feel. Music tracks have been changed also.

Be sure to get all of the endings. And just a hint: The three souls for the true ending have been replaced with something else. Special thanks to Caminopreacher for the new dialogue and item/enemy editing as well as Darkprincealucard for sprite work.
