===Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow (Castlevania 16)===
This sequel to Aria of Sorrow is different in two fundamental ways: The first is the far more animu artstyle (whereas the former had art similar to SotN) and the second is that this was on the Nintendo DS and thus had to use touchscreen mechanics, though this extends only to "draw patterns to kill bosses".

It's a year after Aria, and we're back into Soma Cruz the neo-Dracula. He's then set upon by a cultist named Celia Fortner, who claims that she'll kill Soma and bring about the real Dracula. Soma's pissed that his powers are still around when he thought they were gone for good. Convinced that he's not safe, he joins the old gang and breaks into Celia's fake castle and starts reaping tallies between her minions and the demons. Celia's right hand man, Dmitri Blinov, turns out to more of hassle to kill than the rest.

Celia manages to piss off Soma enough to go Dracula by killing off (a doppelganger of) childhood friend Mina, but a gift she handed him and Alucard's intervention manage to reverse the transformation, however Dmitri manages to copy Soma's soul-taking shtick. When they find the crazy duo again, Dmitri kills his bitch of a boss and becomes powerful enough to take on Soma...except the strain of so many souls ends up overwhelming him and becoming their own menace. Despite being the real Dracula, Soma's able to fare little better and instead flees the castle out of fear that his responsibility was supposed to be to become Dracula again.

There is also a mode that you can unlock called Julius Mode. This is in an alternate universe where Soma becomes the new Dark Lord, which makes Julius get out of retirement to once again kill Dracula. Along side him are Yoko Belnades and Alucard as a clear reference to Castlevania 3 (Hammer was also shown to have text data of him joining Julius but he is not playable in the game, although he most likely would have played similar to Grant Danasty to complete the original group).
