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.
