Great trip down memory lane. Played all these games as a kid but never managed to beat them then. Just finished as an adult!

Review wingkon 4/5 · Oct 9, 2023
A mixed bag
Aria of Sorrow is a fantastic game with one of the best protagonists in the franchise and perhaps the most versatile moveset out of any other character. It's an extremely worthy game if you're at all interested in the Metroidvania genre.

Aria of Sorrow is a fantastic game with one of the best protagonists in the franchise and perhaps the most versatile moveset out of any other character. It's an extremely worthy game if you're at all interested in the Metroidvania genre.
Circle of the Moon is a fine game, though I had to save scum/rewind the hell out of the final boss, which was just a drag to play against. The DSS system is quite unique and adds some versatility to gameplay, though you probably won't even get 50% of the cards unless you grind the hell out of the game. There's also no shop so you can't sell all the leftover items you have. Also, potions are given pretty sparingly so I just used them all on the final boss (when I wasn't save scumming/rewinding).
Harmony of Dissonance is fine too, but felt so generic that I hardly remember playing it. It's so standard that it's unremarkable. You get pretty cool spells and get to control (another) white-haired protagonist, so that's pretty neat.
I didn't play Dracula X at all.

They add a rewind feature, 10 save state slots instead of 1, I haven't had any issues with performance or crashing, and they made slight improvements to each of the game (mainly in the form of the encyclopedias and tracking different items). I hope they figure out a way to bring the DS games to other platforms someday. With that, my Castlevania binge is done for now. Not sure what I'm going to play next.

Writing this guide to get all the hidden endings in the Castlevania games on the Advance Collection was a lot of fun! It made me remind of simpler times, playing on the SNES as a kid and farming souls on Aria of Sorrow in my GBA... and visiting Gamefaqs when I got stuck.
Anyway, you can read the guide here …
