Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is an action role playing game for the Nintendo DS.
This game is the sequel to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.

Soma Cruz, being the rebirth of Dracula, has the power to capture souls and use them to fight monsters. After destroying Dracula's Castle in Aria of Sorrow, he returned to an uneventful life.
A year later, a cult leader named Celia Fortner appears, summoning monsters to attack Soma who then finds out that his power to capture souls hasn't faded. As Celia threatens to create a new Dark Lord, Soma and friends go to Celia's castle to thwart her plans.

This is a very simple hack for Dawn of Sorrow that replaces Alucard in Julius Mode with Old Axe Armor from Portrait of Ruin (though Alucard is the one inside the armor ^^;). The Axe Armor has every move it had in PoR, minus the Martial Arts, but he has two new moves he can perform to compensate

Julius Mode is unlocked from the start in this hack so that you don't have to worry about going through Soma Mode, and now you meet with Old Axe Armor in the top-left room near the starting room on the map

Now in version 1.2 you'll be able to choose between three color palettes for the Old Axe Armor to your liking; Rondo of Blood (RoB), Portrait of Ruin (PoR), and Harmony of Despair (HoDes)

Hopefully you enjoy playing as Old Axe Armor!
