    This is a solid clone of the DS Castlevania titles. It's fun, but things could have been better if it had more weapons (there's only two, and neither are very unique). But still, this game is well worth your five bones.

    If you enjoyed any of the Castlevania series games on the Nintendo systems up to Symphony of the Night on the PS or enjoyed any of the newer DS titles you will absolutely love SoD. Its basically a Castlevania game in a new skin. It's worth the few bucks for that Castlevania fix and you are guaranteed to enjoy it.

    Its an good Castlevania Clone which doesn't Invent new things but does everything better.The Story is simple but good.The Atmosphere is great, the controls to and the difficulty is hard but fair

    Клон кастельвании от Gameloft, перекочевавший с мобильников на ndsi. Играл в него еще давно, как раз на мобилках, решил перепройти, так как тогда игра понравилась. Проходится игра за 2.5 - 3 часа. Довольно хорошая игра, качественная. Не пожалел, что поиграл.Клон кастельвании от Gameloft, перекочевавший с мобильников на ndsi.

    A shameless imitation of Castlevania, but it's actually a solid platfomer/RPG. [Sept 2010, p.95]

    Gameloft keeps with the copy & paste philosophy with a nice Castlevania clone, deeply lacking in personality but with a good gameplay and some pretty nice graphics.

    Taking many of the enjoyable visual, musical, and gameplay aspects of the DS Castlevania releases, the game molds together an absolutely terrific platforming experience that's not only extremely playable, but also wildly enjoyable as well.
