oprainfall's Guy Rainey writes: "Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow begins with a man named Soma Cruz, a transfer student in Japan climbing to the top of the Hakuba Shrine to witness the solar eclipse in 2035 (Dont be alarmed; the game may start in Japan, but that has no real influence on the plot or design). Somehow, at the point of the eclipse, he is drawn into Draculas Castle where he comes across Mina Hark- I mean, Mina Hakuba, a personal friend of Somas, and a strange man named Genya Arikadyo. Genya tells Soma that he has the ability to absorb the powers of the monsters in the castle, which Soma promptly goes out to explore."
