I don't know myself. I'm ordering that one (together with the 'Best Version' of the other two GBA Akudora games) for collection sake, but I still have to get it. :)

Both are great. What's obvious is DoS is far superior from a technical standpoint, but tha'ts pretty obvious. On the other hand, AoS really is an IMPRESSIVE achievement for the machine it runs on.

As for gfx from the artistic creation point of view, it's a close contest. Both games shares great multi-spite enemies, wonderful bg and top-notch use of their colour palette. Both are impressive. AoS has some nice 3d effects too. I would say both show the best of the respective machine they run on.

Storywise, AoS is clarely miles ahead of DoS, whose bland storyline surely is one of the weakest point of the game.

On the other hand, AoS castle planning is maybe a little more weak than in DoS. In AoS you may have sometimes that particular feeling of 'random walking' which is hardet to fell with DoS.

Not only that, DoS boosts the Soul System to the top, both with the multiple Souls feature and the weapon forging thing.

And of course, DoS extras (Julius Mode!) put AoS to shame...

All in all, their both great games, most likely the pinnacle of the series IMHO. Having them both in my DS is someway great beyoind the word. A matter of fetish I guess... :kekeke:

Same here, Captain! :)

Must admit getting two copies of the original X68000 has been kinda harder, but hey, AkuDora is AkuDora... :buttrock:
