Database match: Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow (USA)Hack description
This is a very simple hack for Dawn of Sorrow that replaces Alucard in Julius Mode with Old Axe Armor from Portrait of Ruin (though Alucard is the one inside the armor ^^;). The Axe Armor has every move it had in PoR, minus the Martial Arts, but he has two new moves he can perform to compensateScreenshots

When I heard news about it for the first time, I though it was an April Fool joke or hoax edit or something. Surprisingly, after I actually checked this hack everything works pretty well! The beloved Old Axe Armor, this time with Alucard piloting it, has all his signature Axe Lord moves from Portrait of Ruin, albeit excludes the command super moves, which was not a serious lost. Every single action syncs perfectly, fluent and natural. Probably to make up for the Old Axe Armor's lacking of combat options, Julius gets buffed and now his high jump had been restored to the same as Soma/Alucard and how it was for himself in Aria of Sorrow. It's a welcome tweak that I wish it was the case for the original version for the first place! Although the game was significantly more hardcore than the original hunter trio (Due to the mechanics of Old Axe Armor, of course) there's no serious progression problem as of version 1.2 and the buffed Julius is a ton of fun to play. I absolutely love this rendition!! I hope one day the restoration of Julius' high jump would eventually be a selectable option in the DSVania editor. Good luck to everyone involved within the hack's production! | |||
