Symphony of the Night was groundbreaking in its marriage of classic Castlevania, Metroid and RPG elements - but Castlevania was getting repetitive, it needed inspiration.

From the moment you see a torii shrine and "2035" in the opening crawl, it promises exactly that... and delivers it in abundance. The setting informs many exciting gameplay, art and story decisions.

The result is something unique and entirely its own. It's a monster in the GBA library and most definitely belongs in this world.
