Castlevania: Circle of the Moon - Awake [EXTENDED] Music

this made you feel like you were invincible, then when you kept progressing the music got darker and darker giving a sense of despair to the castle, wish it was canon, but if it was he would have finished the storyline then and there since he wasn't a belmont with the curse, the story is console material and a good way to end the belmonts suffering, i just wish they'd utilize nathan because he's such a cool character.

[@ryanhills3456]

The entire series had a dark sick nature with nothing but despair yet the music changed the game and inspired hope and unshakable willpower.

[@memberofchat2825]

this is one of those songs that i could just listen to in loop for hours

[@lePeachfuzz]

My most replayed CastleVania game. I love it so much. Normal Mode really isn't too bad when you get comfortable with it (ignoring the Minotaur room in the Battle Arena), but compared to SotN or Dawn of Sorrow, it *will* feel tougher, for sure. Nathan Graves isn't 'canon' anymore, is he? Joining the ranks of Sonia Belmont and such, R.I.P, lol. Thanks for uploading this song -- when I was a kid I couldn't stop humming it.

[@reconchris8562]

He's canon to his own timeline. Not as non-canon as Sonia but not part of the main canon either.

[@BrandyBrandalia]

No. He's not. This game is basically a spinoff. It COULD have been connected to Bloodlines, since both have references to Brahm Stoker's Dracula.

[@magicaxel100]

What is considered canon in Castlevanai these days hahaha?

[@emissaryofcharybdis105]

Canon or not, I just like to believe that there were vampire hunters capable of fighting in the Belmont's absence. Sure, the Morris family did so, but that was still with the Vampire Killer in hand. With the existence of characters like Sypha Belnades, Charlotte Aulin, Shanoa, and of course, Alucard and Soma - the series has clearly shown that non-Belmont heroes can take down Dracula, and I'm perfectly fine with Nathan Graves being in the mix as well, regardless of what Konami feels like accepting.

[@if-me-not-me]

​​​@@emissaryofcharybdis105 only john morris. Jonathan, sure, he's got vampire killer,but only to almost end,and still not mandatory to use. He can use various types of weapon to your liking: knifes, spears, swords, great swords, other whips, knuckles, axes.

[@Jason-ut2cx]

Lastima que el juego no sea canon porque es muy bueno. De hecho, opino que es el juego que mejor mezcla las mecánicas de los castlevania más retro con la exploración de los metroidvanias posteriores.

[@jaimeeaerlecordova8052]

Recién por primera vez lo juego y es me ha parecido hasta ahora un fantástico título. Permíteme agregar que a diferencia de otros Castlevania (incluso Metroidvanias), en CoTM el desafío está constantemente ahí, ya que las áreas que terminaste normalmente encontrarías a los monstruos débiles que viste al principio, pero aquí no es así, te enfrentas contra criaturas más fuertes. En varias ocasiones pasé por corredores que ya había superado y de pronto me encuentro con monstruos nuevos y yo me quedo como que "wtf? Este monstruo no estaba aquí antes".

Too bad this game isn't "canon". It's the best of the GB Castlevania games by far, IMO.

[@brendantoungate8287]

This game's OST is fire. The game itself is really fun, though it relies on DSS a tad too much for variety, IMO. Still a solid Castlevania.

[@IncoherentMoron]

the DSS is fun as hell to work with, but the game's fatal flaw imo is it's over-reliance on rare enemy drops to get everything from the cards to basic healing items: the endgame got extremely frustrating because the only way to heal myself was to find a save point or to stand still and wait, and the Battle Arena beat my ass forever because i couldn't heal myself at all

[@dantesparda4289]

If you knew how to use it right, the DSS system was op as shit. Especially in mage mode with that massive mp pool.

[@brendantoungate8287]

@@dantesparda4289 It is, but getting the chance to enjoy it on your first playthrough is based on what drops you get, which is...less than ideal. The magician playthrough ends that, but I got other shit to do and other games to play. It's a good game, but my least favorite of the GBA Castlevanias.
