Game Boy Advance Longplay [019] Castlevania Circle of the Moon

[@Blighted_Ashes]

Love the soundtrack...

[@DanieI...]

[@nicosuave9310]

Blighted Ashes It seems they've consistently produced great soundtracks for this game franchise.

[@retrosasctg3295]

Yes,the soundtrack is really awesome

[@Bread_n_Butter.]

I can't think of a Castlevania I cant say this about.

[@tristand1243]

this was my 1st castlevania game as a kid. i loved it. never got around to playing harmony of dissonance or aria of sorrow.

[@SicketMog]

This one apparently gets crap from people as being "the worst one" out of the GBA trilogy. Idk why. They say the other ones are better but I couldn't stomach them due to the artstyle. May have to try them again. This though was brilliant imho so if it's "the worst"... Saw it for sale as a kid but opted not to get it as I didn't like the NES Castlevanias that much (had Legends on the Gameboy and that one wasn't brilliant either). Didn't know it was a metroidvania. So I didn't play it until I was an adult but to me it's pretty damn great. The only flaw I see is the cardsystem, as it's easy to miss a critical card (I missed the healing one in a playthrough) but other than that idk what to even fault... Maybe more and more varied enemies(?). Graphically I like it a lot more than the later ones as said.

[@MookyMc]

@@SicketMog The Castlevania Advance collection has an option to show you which enemies drop cards and which cards you have. Its like $15 for 4 games. Maybe it was on sale. But I’m playing through all of them again and its wonderful. Circle of the Moon is the hardest of the Vania type ones in the collection

I've played it through thrice in my life and rn playing it again. I did not find it hard at all the first playthrough... But in that one I found the healing card. I missed that on my last two ones, for some reason (idk why as I play it blindly), and THAT has made it challenging.

This is the only Castlevania game that ever appealed to me enough to pick it up and i loved it (and i believe i actually beat it, thought it's been a looong time ha). I really loved the visual aesthetic of the game, with all the Renaissance paintings and stained glass windows in the background, And not so many of the cheesy flashy effects found in some of the others-- i appreciate the more "realistic" approach this installment took. It's easily the best looking Castlevania from what i've seen. I'm gonna replay it as soon as i get a Wii U, but what should be the *next* Castlevania game that i play? I've really been on a retro gaming kick lately.

[@XradicalD]

By now you probably played them all. But if you like the more goth aesthetic, try Aria of Sorrow, which is also on Wii U. Same with Harmony of dissonance. The DS ones are also good, give them a try.

4 hours isn't very much

[@emissaryofcharybdis105]

I still have this one, on the Castlevania Double Pack. Pretty awesome game - I always love getting to play a Metroid-style Castlevania where the whip user doesn't have to be a Belmont. Though, one giant complaint - getting cards almost never happened for me. I probably had about 5 by the time I fought Dracula. Maybe I just had bad luck or whatever, but the drop rate was just way too low. I still have yet to see probably half of the abilities this game offers you. I guess that's also an excuse to play again, but still - what a pain.

[@papaflip_]

agreed, when I was a kid I was only ever able to get about half of the dss cards lol. luckily there was a cheat to be able to still use any dss combination. it wasn’t until this year that I was able to obtain every single card after like 15 hours of game time 😅

[@emissaryofcharybdis105]

It does track considering the amount of homages this franchise has to horror. And even this game having references to things outside of horror, like Fox Archers clearly being a reference to Disney's version of Robin Hood.

[@Rotoid]

Is it a longplay with cheats or something? How does the player do tricks like on 40:25 for example, without having cards????? I absolutely don't get it.

[@fabuloussuperstar]

Card glitch. Just select 2 cards you already have, then exit the menu and press L. Once you do that, before the animation ends, go back to the menu and select any combination of cards and you'll be able to use those effects rather the one you originally chose.

First title I had on my gba and I remember sitting under lights to play it because the handheld didn't really have the brightness. Back then I found some website that had a full map image of the castle and I printed it out on two 8.5x11 sheets.

@@SicketMog IIRC, you would basically just select any combo you wanted, press a button (I think it was Select?) and the game would let you use it. There might have been some other setup required but I remember it was a pretty big glitch that basically let you break the game.

Too bad Nate doesn’t talk that much (in voice clips). All he says are the typical grunts. But at least he has plenty of attacks and buffs at his disposal! And yes, I do like this game, more than Harmony of Dissonance (definitely not bad or anything, I do like it despite its mediocre soundtrack but it’s not hard on the ears as I know GBA can produce great music even if it has a fuzzy audio driver), which is my own personal opinion. By the way, beginning area music (Awake) is AWESOME! The final boss was piss-easy in the first form but his second form was fucking BRUTAL! Giant-ass Demon Dracula had me rage quit. Definitely the hardest boss next to Hugo. But damn that final battle music is fucking awesome and the most epic final boss music in the entire series imo. Also, does anybody consider this game an action RPG? Because I do. SOTN goes under that category because it has RPG elements in it like levelling up, currency system, status effects and elemental effects.

BTW, when you level up, does it level up your health, too? Or does your health only increase from finding those "HP Max Increase" potions?

[@Plide]

Leveling up increases your max health by 10, but not your current health, which is why your health bar appears to go down when leveling up. HP max increase potions increase your max HP by 10 and fully restore your current HP as well. Save rooms fully restore your HP, but do not increase your max HP.

Circle of the moon was a nice game. Not too easy but not ridiculous, the hints are clear enough and I didnt waste tons of time exploring, and it's pretty solid in general. The music was great, in fact the best among the three GBA castlevanias, the other two didn't feel as much as castlevania as this one; i liked the interpretation of the vampire killer, one of my favourite versions. My two complaints are the running mechanic, and the fact that cards should have been easier to gather. They are very fun and I don't want to resort to gliches.

Does any one know where I can find a rom of this game where it's at the Dracula fight?

[@mollyparkinsons24]

I would say I'd give you my original copy on my GBA, but I still cant part with it yet. There is a site called EmuParadise that I use sometimes to get ROMS and Emulations. It works fairly well.

[@omegasupreme5527]

I'm sure you've resolved it by now but there's an online site that has game saves, which you actually meant to say. Just do a search for : gba game saves download.
