Description

Set one year after Aria of Sorrow, the first Castlevania game for the DS has you playing Soma Cruz again when he gets involved in a mysterious cult's attempts to resurrect their lord, Dracula.

All the action takes place on the lower screen, while the top screen is used to see the map or your character's stats. The game also takes advantage of the touch screen feature to let you draw magic runes to perform powerful moves to defeat evil monsters.

The mobile version is a fairly genuine port of the original game with a few minor differences. It adds a new special rare item: the lost soul vial. This item can be used if Soma dies and resurrects him. There is also the bat altar which can be used when Soma owns the bat form ability. Soma walks on a bat altar with the bat ability and is teleported to the linked bat altar. The inventory is strictly limited to weapons, armors and magic spells. It is not possible to store food, life potions or other items..
