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 ROM hack edits the games JULIUS MODE to include Veemon from Digimon, all Julius sprites and animations have been replaced with Veemon using what could be found from various game sprites, hitboxes have been amended to match the new size of the character, and the signature Vampire Killer whip has been replaced with a Kaiser Knuckle-esque attack more befitting of Veemon.

Also replaced the subweapons to better match the character, some have simply received amended colours or sprites, while others have been replaced with other abilities you would find in a Soma playthrough. On top of this both the sound effects for the character have been amended as well as dialogue text rewritten (kinda cringey though... apologies.)

As this is a first attempt at a hack, there are some minor graphical issues, such as the breath effect in the first area still coming from where Julius' head usually would be, and the awfully Veemon-coloured Julius in the end screen.

Updated as originally the intended mode to play was not unlocked.
