Aria of Sorrow retains the core Metroidvania formula that made Symphony of the Night a masterpiece.

Aria innovates with the Tactical Soul system, allowing you to absorb enemy souls for new powers. This adds tremendous depth, with souls providing effects from elemental attacks to transforming into monsters. Mixing and matching these abilities keeps combat fresh and rewarding.

The story also stands out, with a modern day reincarnation of Dracula premise. Protagonist Soma Cruz discovers his connection to Dracula while battling cultists in the castle. This emotional tale gives fine context to the addictive Metroidvania gameplay.
