Sin duda el mejor de los Castlevanias para GBA y también el más interesante en cuanto a concepto e historia. Disfruté mucho el combate con el sistema de las almas, aunque talvez prefiera el de Harmony of Dissonance.

Para mí, Aria of Sorrow sí se coloca tranquilamente en el segundo lugar como mejor Castlevania atrás de SotN.

Hay partes en las que me he querido arrancar los pelos (torre del reloj) pero por lo general muy divertido y con una historia simple pero molona

giocato con l'emulatore, figo ma non mi ricordo molto più

Practically everything annoying about previous games is fixed here. The game is fun from start to finish and offers a great balanced gameplay and a huge variety of approach with the soul system. A must play.


This is what you're buying the Castlevania Advance Collection for, probably the most solid game in the series because can you believe after 2 attempts with Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance they would give us Aria of Sorrow. Everything about this game just hits and I think the soul mechanic is the best to date, the map is fun, there's tons of customization with Soma and his kits, and the replayability factor is huge because of it. It baffles me how good this game is after the previous 2 like seriously, they really cleaned up their act and locked in when making this one. It's so good it stands toe to toe with Symphony as the best Metroid Castlevania style game. If you were turned off by the previous two entries you gotta play this one, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its quality.

Almost on par with "Symphony of the night" and that's an impressive statement considering this game was developed for an handheld console, the GBA, much weaker than a PSX. Interesting story and characters, amazing soundtrack as always, cool bosses and captivating art direction. One of the absolute best Castlevanias inspired by Metroid.

One of the most enjoyable castlevanias, no complaints
Short and sweet. Highly recommended

Sym-phony of the gay eats this game's ass metroidvanias peaked here

Melhor Castlevania que joguei, não cheguei a platinar mas zerei o jogo com 100% do mapa e lvl-95. Zerei com 12 horas de jogo mas se não grindar dá pra zerar em 6h~7h

The best Castlevania I've ever played, I didn't get to platinum but I completed the game with 100% of the map and lvl-95. I completed the game in 12 hours, but if you don't grind, you can complete it in 6~7 hours.

Ill forgive the grinding cause the soul system is a really good addition to the series

محتار اعطيها اعلى ٤ نجوم ممكن اعطيها لأي لعبة فحياتي
ولا أقل ٤.٥ نجوم ممكن اقييمها فحياتي
معضلة الحنكة صابتني نسأل الله السلامة

ثالث لعبة العبها بالمدام الستيم ديك، مرة مرة مرة حلوة لكن سلبيتي معها وشو؟؟ ان
ال highs
فهاللعبة مرة عالية
وال lows
فهاللعبة مرة زق
تجربتي كانت مافيها نص. يا ابيض يا اسود. يا استمتع مرررة يا اكل زق مرررة.

وقصدي باللو ذي هي الفترات اللي اضطر افتح فيها الخريطة المبهمة عشان اعرف وين اروح. قسم بالله ذببببحتتتني الخريطة مترت القلعة كلها ولا لقيت المكان اللي ابي اروح له اخاخخخخخ

لكن عموما اللعبة مرة حلوة ولولا الخريطة كنت بعطيها خمس نجوم يمكن لانها صدق روعة
ممكن يجي يوم وارجع لها لان خاصياتها واسلحتها وتصاميم الاعدااااء والاستراتيجيات اللي تجي باستعمال الاسلحة والخاصيات والقرنبع الباقي مررررررة مبتكرين ومثيرين للاهتمام. كان ودي استثمر وقت زيادة وانا اجرب كل واحد فيهم بس كانت زاقة معي من الضياع الغير واضح اطلاقا وكنت ابي اخلص اللعبة بأسرع وقت ممكن

عموما. احب الستيم ديك حقي. اشتروا ستيم ديك. شكرًا.

O melhor Castlevania pra GBA disparado, o único que me segurou até o fim. O grande brilho é a gameplay e a exploração, são muito bem feitos e dão uma sensação de progresso daora. Gráficos e trilha sonora não ficam pra trás também. História é... Castlevania, apenas, mas acho que ainda é a mais "única" comparada com os antecessores

O último Castlevania do GBA e um dos melhores da franquia. Gameplay ótima, sistema de almas bem interessante, com vários poderes para usar. Uma história bem legal e um castelo bem fácil de se navegar. Por mais que seja um dos jogos mais fáceis da franquia (o que não é ruim) e pra tu chegar no final verdadeiro tu depende majoritariamente de sorte, Aria Of Sorrow ainda é um jogão do tio Iga.

Was pretty sour to find out the downright stupid grind you have to do for the real ending but apart from that was a top notch Castlevania, very little to complain about.

Uma ótima entrada na franquia Castlevania. O gameplay é divertido e apresenta variedade, a exploração, apesar de simples, é efetiva, e a trilha sonora, como de praxe na franquia, é excelente

I got three endings in just two hours I'm a pretty cool gamer huh? you should check them all out yourself or at least watch them on youtube (but playing is way more fun)

Best Igavania of the GBA releases, and one of the few games I did to 100%

PRA MIM, ele é o melhor Castlevania de todos os tempos

GBA has very good pixel art but sadly not many good action games.
This is one of the few.


More like Aria of PEAK. Game is so stinkin' fun, it's crazy. The soul system is one of the best ideas they've done for a metroidvania game.

This game is amazing and impressive for a GBA title. The souls system is a great addition, but it makes the game a bit too easy if you farm a bit, combined with the vendor selling really strong item early on. Still a must play !
