Description<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow <\/em>is an Action RPG and platformer typically described as \u201cMetroidvania\u201d. Players control Soma Cruz who finds himself back at what appears to be Dracula\u2019s Castle after being attacked by a mysterious cult, which is in search of a new Dark Lord. Soma must solve the mystery of the castle while confronting the cultists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dawn of Sorrow<\/em> features traditional side scrolling action where players must battle monsters, hop over obstacles, and explore various parts of the cult\u2019s castle which is a copy of Dracula\u2019s lair. The game\u2019s ARPG elements include an experience based level system, various pieces of equipment, and Soma\u2019s unique Power of Dominance, which allows him to absorb enemy souls. Defeating monsters will sometimes yield a soul that Soma can use as a weapon. These souls can be equipped like weapons and armor. Souls have various effects; for example the Skeleton Soul allows Soma to throw bones like a Skeleton and the Golem Soul increases Soma\u2019s strength stat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the castle is inaccessible in the beginning and players will have to find new powers or solve puzzles to open up new areas. Players must also learn to draw \u201cMagic Seals\u201d on the DS touch screen after defeating a boss to finish it off permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the game will unlock new game modes that include a Boss Rush and Julius Mode, which allows the player to control Julius Belmont instead of Soma. There is also a two player mode where players can race each other to complete a premade stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
