NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Soma Cruz, decked out in a swishy white couture
trench coat, returns to the vampire killing fold
after the events of Aria of Sorrow. A secretive
cabal seeks to revive the Lord of Vampires and Soma
must venture into dank dungeons and dark castles to
stop the rise of the mighty blood sucker. Along the
way, special weapons may be hefted, powerful magical
attacks meted, and the DS stylus is used to destroy
crystal walls and scribble enchantments in the form
of sigils. Soma's moves consist of slashing attacks,
magical blows, and a double jump which may be used
to scale heights or avoid flying malcontents. A dash
move allows Soma to retreat from danger or scoot
underneath obstacles.
Soma's arsenal of weapons is impressive but the man
himself is also capable of changeling abilities
where he transforms into a bat or a crusading
valkyrie with shield and sword. The lower DS screen
accommodates all of the scrolling platform high
jinks while the upper screen keeps track of Soma's
movements on a map and stats. Creatures to be
encountered in the game include a spidery 4-armed
cadaver, fire-breathing automatons, a colossus who
fills up the entire screen when prone, skeletal
serpents, a dinosaur-esque beast, and a monster that
appears to be inspired by the works of H.P.
Lovecraft.
