Score would be an 8 or 9 if it weren't for farming/grinding and the dreaded Seal System (having to use the stylus to draw increasingly intricate shapes to defeat bosses when they're about to die and if you mess up you have to fight the boss again). Playing Soma over-all is fun and the soul-absorbing 'Power of Dominance' feature is back. Pixel art is good, the anime character portraits are generic and lack the personality seen in Aria, the music is amazing which is to be expected from this series.
Julius mode, that you unlock if you get the bad ending, is actually quite good. You get to play as Julius and Yoko and Alucard join your team. A really refreshing alternative game mode actually worth playing. It also eliminates the seal system!
It's a shame that they added the Seal System and made it a little grind-heavy. It really does take away from an otherwise great experience.

An unfun experience, the artstyle has been drastically hit from what was expected in previous games, the characters are flandarized here even by the standards of the previous game, and the main character specifically makes some weird and stupid decisions. I can't recommend.

It feels like it plays a lot slower than Aria. Also, it's basically a 'more of the same' entry. I always get bored within a couple hours of starting, regardless of playing vanilla or a ROMhack. Exploration Action (sometimes called Metroidvanias) really need to have a compelling map to explore - and this one didn't. It felt like nothing more than a rehash of older, popular entries. It also unfortunately released on the gimmick console, the Nintendo DS, so it had to use touchscreen crap wherever possible and it felt utterly unnecessary.
