Critic Reviews9
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.

This game won't get any originality award, but Soul of Darkness is an excellent example of a game style that, actually, it is not as common as we would like.

So while Soul of Darkness doesn't blaze many new trails, it does an excellent job of covering the best territory from several past games. Download it right away -- especially if you're a Castlevania fan.
