these sports meeting are all the same. It’s like konami releases the same game over and over again and the same idiots buy the game over and over again.

Very mediocre at best. As always, konami fanboys will flock to it. So if you like playing the same game all the time. this might be for you. If you’ve played one of the following:sotn,cotm,hod,aos. You’ve played them all. Stay away from hyped garbage like this.

This game has the dreaded “Konami’s BEST” red bar of doom on it. Don’t support a reprint that ruins the original box art. Buy somewhere else.

In castlevania dawn of mourn you try to stop a cult from ressurecting a dark lord. the game is fun but collecting souls can be tedious and I reflect that the puzzles are not very challenging.

Castlevania is a series of sports meeting involving vampires and side scrolling combat. With Dawn of Sorrows, Soma Cruz is a teenager who has the soul of Dracula within him. A year ago (in the game before this one) he had to fight off the dark powers within him. He won and thought his life would be normal again. Unfortunately, when this game opens, he immediately comes under attack and has to vanquish a new set of foes.
The game is a pixel based side-scroller and involves human figures fighting skeletons, werewolves, and other monsters. The look is certainly ancient school / retro. If for example you ran this side by side against Robots, another title I reviewed recently, the Robots figures were crisp and detailed, while the Castlevania characters and screens showed a granularity. It’s a stylishness difference that many people appreciate.
You primarily go left and right, slashing with your sword, throwing bones, and performing other styles of attacks to take out your enemies. There is some platforming as well, jumping up and down ladders to get to new areas. This works in well with a storyline, so it’s not like, say, Mario where the platforming is all there is to the game.
For example, there’s a ‘hunter’ who has sworn to kill Dracula. Soma knows about the hunter, and understands that the hunter will have to fight him if he loses control of himself to Dracula. They are enemies who have a truce, and who both respect each other, but who know if circumstances change they will have to lock in combat.
There are some touch screen aspects to the game. You find ’seals’ which are in essence patterns of shape. To go certain actions – for example to end off a boss – you have to make this seal. This involves drawing that pattern perfectly. You’re allowed to practice, but when the time comes, if you don’t get the seal done just right, you could be in splendid distress. It’s a clean thought, but I wish it had been something a small less “perfectionist” oriented. I know many people who just can’t draw well or who have hands that shake a bit. If they’d gone with a memorization game – or a logic puzzle or something – it would be more about real skill / intelligence and less about “having perfectly steady hands”.
In general I did like the fun action, and I did appreciate the RPG and storyline here. I got drawn into the tale rather quickly. I reflect for the next version I want to see the graphics kicked up to match the DS capabilities, the ’seal’ puzzle changed to be less about perfectionist drawing, and I’d also like some of the dialogue to be less cliche. I loved the ‘flow’ of the plot but winced at several of the comments made by characters.
Well recommended.
