It's a mixed set of games but overall I'd recommend the Advance Collection. Circle of the Moon : IMO, this one has aged really poorly but I know that's a hot take. The physics feel all wrong and the overall design just didn't really jive with me. The idea for the card system is unique but I don't see myself ever recommending Circle of the Moon to someone unless I know they love the old Castlevania movement. Harmony of Dissonance : It's fine? It's overall gamefeel is much closer to Symphony of the Night but that's not to say I think it's flawless. It's a perfectly fine Castlevania, I just prefer the systems in other games over it. It's way too easy to get an item needed to progress and not realize it, because it's just a regular piece of equipment in your inventory and not a relic. Aria of Sorrow: The one to actually get this package for, IMO. Aria of Sorrow has aged the best out of the bunch and feels like a follow up to SotN's mechanics. Collecting and using souls is fun, the movement is all right, we've got weapon variety with overhead swings, side swings, poking weapons, gun, all the fan favorites. The soundtrack is great, but held back by the GBA's hardware but overall it is THE one to play out of this set. Dracula X: I mean, I'm glad it got re-released but it's nothing special? It's not Rondo of Blood but it's another classic styled Castlevania, so if you wanted that instead of a metroidvania well it's here.

The GBA games are decent. Never got to try the other two after Circle of the Moon. Now we just need a SOTN release (Both with the PSX and Saturn versions) Come on Konami! DO IT!

Sweet sweet GBA era memories. Some fantastic Castlevania games in this collection. The art can be a little iffy cause it was made for a tiny screen but it still has a ton of CASTLEVANIA SOUL.

That rare collection of games where all of them are actually good. Now give us the DS trilogy :) *edit* They gave it to us!

Fantastic collection, had a lot of fun. I hope in the future we'll get another collection or separate games with all the missing games from the series. Being someone who never had any of the original consoles, and also not being very good with emulators, I really appreciated this one. Looking at each game separately: Circle of the moon. Very fun game with unique mechanics. The sheer amount of DSS combinations are overwhelming in a good way, makes you pick and choose different combinations and strategies for specific areas/bosses, unleashing your creativity. Speaking of bosses, out of all the games in this collection, circle of the moon has my favorite boss fights. Among all the positives, there are some negatives. The worst part of the game is probably the grindiness. In order to beat the game, you'll have to either be absolutely cracked OR farm and grind like there is no tomorrow. The game is designed in a way that makes you grind for levels, equipment, healing and mana items. At times, this can get very tedious and repetitive. Harmony of dissonance. I enjoyed this game. Many have criticized the idea with 2 castles, but personally I enjoyed it, as it gave a unique exploration experience. "Enjoyed" might actually be an understatement, I bloody loved this mechanic. Puzzles are simple, yet feel very rewarding. Puzzles that use both castles? Even better Negatives? 1. Was not very impressed with spell book mechanic, infinitely inferior to DSS and soul system. 2. This game is just TOO easy, no matter how you look at it. I completed 70% of the game by the time I died for the first time. Regular enemies are too weak, bosses are too weak, everything is just too simple. Bosses don't give that feeling of "oh I'll have to think this one through" or "I'm stuck aren't I". You meet them, you beat them, you forget them. Aria of sorrow. This one was just amazing. Collecting souls was fun, having unique dialogues with characters was fun, exploration was fun, bosses were fun. I loved the gameplay, and I loved how they gave more personality to both main character and all the side characters. Even to the merchant! Many consider this game to be the best in this collection, and I can totally see why Negatives: Every possible problem you encounter can be solved with enough Mana and Hp items. Like literally. And they're not even hard to obtain in this game. Dracula x. Hated by all, loved by me. Don't get me wrong, I understand why people hate it. This game is hard, and it is hard in a very bullshit way. At times it feels like that game is just making fun of you, laughing from your sufferings. Enemy algorithm is bullshit, level design is bullshit, bottomless pits are bullshit, hitboxes are bullshit. Which is what makes this game so great. I spent 8 straight hours on the last boss and every single crevice of my body was sweating by the end of it. It's a beautiful game, try it Negatives: every fucking positive is actually a negative and every negative is actually positive
