![]() ![]() But there are some issues as well: such as a lack of weapons to use (you only have the whip in this game), spells are mostly useless, with only a few being quite good, but only after exploring a certain percentage of the castle, while the castle is very large, the different sections mostly look the same and needed some variety in how they look and feel while exploring them. Make no mistake, CotM is a good game, the music is excellent, it looks great visually, with some awesome animations and great use of colors, a large castle to explore that has areas gated off until you acquire the correct item to progress, and the game has some excellent bosses. The music is great as usual, a lot of it are actually new renditions of Castlevania III tracks.ħ0% Game Boy AdvanceKonami's second "Metroidvania" styled Castlevania game, Circle of the Moon is a good follow-up to the excellent, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but does fall short its PS1 big brother. Bosses are pretty good, although the final boss could use a bit less HP. Definitely my biggest gripe with the game. There is this pattern that is repeated non stop of taking a couple enemies and room layout and repeating it three times in the same hallway / staircase. There is also a lot of repetition when it comes to enemy placement. ![]() Castle areas are pretty differentiated and they have their own gimmick, but within each area the rooms get repeated more often than they should. ![]() Unfortunately the game also has some problems. ![]() Creating the right match for each situation adds some depth to the gameplay, although many combinations are lackluster. One set of cards decides the type of power you get while the other set defines its elemental type. You have two sets of cards that you must combine in order to get a power. This game's mechanic, called DSS, is fairly interesting. This one in particular feels closer to the classic games than Symphony of the Night, being whip based and more challenging than SotN. 70% EmulatedDecent entry in the metroidvania branch of Castlevania. ![]()
