Castlevania Advance Collection Reviews
If you’re at all a fan of Metroidvanias and haven’t played most of these games, there’s no reason to wait. Not every game here is perfect, but they’re all at least good. Circle of the Moon provides the best mix between the old and new style of Castlevania, while Aria of Sorrow is an absolute triumph that holds up beautifully even after all these years. Harmony of Dissonance has more flaws but is still mostly an excellent play, and even Dracula X is a very solid title. I would have loved to see more work done to provide a total package here, but few collections have ever provided a better set of titles.
Four games of proven quality. Three Castlevania metroidvania and the vilifying -unfairly- Super Nintendo's Dracula X. The games are worth a lot, but the way to collect them is less lavish. A fair compilation, with the problems of entering the resolutions of the successor of the Game Boy and Super Nintendo. But the quality of the four titles, the power to rewind, save at any time and other extras, together with an interesting price, makes this interesting compilation worthwhile.

I love this collection. I absolutely love that it exists and that I can finally re-play these portable classics in a cheaper and more convenient way in 2021. Regardless of if they have aged poorly in some aspects due to the GBA’s underwhelming hardware, Castlevania Advance Collection is an absolute must for fans of the metroidvania genre. You’re getting three of the best games in the franchise, as well as Dracula X.
