Julius Mode



Julius Mode is a secret mode you can play in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow by playing with Julius Belmont as the main character instead of Soma Cruz. The game is still the same but you can't go in the Menu with Julius : the game just pause when you press "START". Moreover, Julius can't equip weapons and must fight with the Vampire Killer whip. He can also uses super-jumps, glides and sub-weapons like others Belmonts, such as Holy Water or Knives. Ths scenario is changed.
