The Best Castlevania game?

This was actually my First game that got me into the Castlevania franchise and it does not disappoint. You play as Nathan Graves to try and stop the newly revived Dracula from regaining his full power and destroying the world. The gameplay is you're standard Metroidvania 2D platformer and throughout the game you collect these cards that form the Dual system service. When the cards are combined you can use magic to power up your whip, form a protective barrier, boost stats, and even summon familiars. Probably my favorite Castlevania game and the best for Handheld. Read full review

Not a terrible game but not a good Castlevania game

As far as post Super Castlevania 4 games go, this is a bit terrible. It's easily my least favorite of the 3 available on the GBA. The parallax scrolling is limited to only one background, character animation is choppy, movement is sluggish until you find the power up that ALLOWS you to run and then you have to deal with a directional double tap anytime you want to run. The magic/card/DSS system is lackluster. Most of the cards and their effects are garbage. You'll end up sticking with only one or two card combinations and never using the others as they're either pointlessly weak, use too much MP or are ridiculously slow. There's just no balance in the system to actual make it useful. The difficulty spikes are pretty bad and you'll spend quite a bit of time grinding away baddies to level/catch up. This isn't a terrible game, it's just not a great Castlevania game. Read full review

Classic 2D Castlevania with great music.

The first Castelvania game released for GBA, they may have gotten fancier later on (Aria of Sorrow) but this is a fantastic 2D game none the less. The soundtrack is also ridiculously good, if you're not using headphones while playing this you're missing out.Read full review

Awesome

This is, in my opinion, the best 2D Castlevania game out. The card combination magic ability system and armor features make the gameplay smoother, more compelling, and less monotonous than other games in the series.Read full review

A fantastic Castlevania game for you GBA

Animations are terrible and the game itself is too dark to see. Its substantially worse than Symphony of the Night. Avoid like you would avoid Dracula. Circle of the Moon embodies everything wrong with gaming and is without question the worst game ever created if not the worst thing ever created period.Read full review

Try it!

If you’re a fan of the castlevania series, don’t over look this game. Truly an amazing game. Fast paced action too. Not a slow game.

Haven't really played any Castlevania games before, but it's been a lot of fun, if quite challenging!

In good condition, no problems with the physical cartridge or launching the game.
