The Castlevania Advance Collection really brings back what made the GBA era so special. Harmony of Dissonance surprised me with how smooth its mechanics still feel: movement, dashing, and spell fusion all flow so naturally that it’s just fun to play around. Circle of the Moon is tougher, but that final Dracula fight is as intense as I remember, pushing you to master the DSS system if you want to stand a chance. And then there’s Aria of Sorrow: the perfect package. The soul system is endlessly creative, the pacing is spot on, and it just feels like everything clicks into place. Having them all together with save states and the gallery makes this collection feel like the definitive way to revisit these gems.
Great collection. Some performance issues when you tab out at times, but otherwise this is the definitive way to play the classic GBA Castlevania ARPGs. I personally recommend to play them in order. Play however you want to, don't be afraid to look up stuff, and have fun. GLHF
The collection was pretty solid tbh. I had a blast with HoD and AoS, while the others were just kinda meh. HoD was fun, but the exploration was confusing and not enjoyable. I get what they were going for, but I did not enjoy it. Nevertheless it was a decent experience.
Emulation compilation but legal, better than spending hundreds on boxed copies (thanks internet scalpels). You get exactly what is shown. Sweet Castlevania action with games that have aged pretty well. If you are a fan then this is a no brainer to get on a discount.
only bought it for aria of sorrow and it was worth it on sale for sure. plays just like it did on emulator and my switch controller works on it perfectly.
this is the best game that i played ever , i highly recommend to get this masterpiece.
22 years later, and aria of sorrow is still the best metroidvania ever made
It's Castlevaina. What do you want me to tell you?
it is actually absurd how good aria has held up it is still one of the best metroidvania games ever
