#61 Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (Game Boy Advance, 2003)

This game is the natural progression from Symphony of the Night. A lot of the concepts are improved upon here, although Aria of Sorrow faces some constraints due to the Game Boy Advance system.



The system of absorbing and equipping souls is introduced here, which provides a great reason to spend time fighting and killing enemies. But it really feels like a prototype for a much better game that would come later and in my opinion does almost everything better, and as I played both games at the same time, my experience with Aria of Sorrow is overshadowed greatly by its sequel.

So it's a great and fun game that I do not think about all too often. Maybe going back to it would have helped this game out, since it's been 15 years. That's a long time to try to remember a game that I finished in a few days as a teenager.
