Box Art Brawl: Duel – Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow


Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.

North America / Japan

There’s no mistaking the swerve to the anime visuals with this cover, is there? Our protagonist, Soma Cruz, stands front and centre, surrounded by a bunch of characters that you’ll bump into in the game. This “everyone is here” approach doesn’t leave much room for background detail, but we still get to tick the ‘spooky castle’, ‘full moon’ and ‘bat’ boxes, all the same.

Europe

If there was any doubting who the Dawn of Sorrow protagonist is by looking at the North American / Japanese design, the European variant has you covered. The Castlevania ensemble has been cut here, leaving Cruz alone to draw our attention and giving a bit more credit to the spooky surroundings. It’s certainly more pared back, but just as eye-catching.


Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
