Play Akumajou Dracula - Circle of the Moon (C)(Titan) Online
Whip through Dracula’s castle, mixing magic cards from fallen enemies to unlock new paths—just watch out for those Medusa heads. The GBA’s tiny speakers somehow make the gothic soundtrack even creepier.
Game Overview
Circle of the Moon was my first GBA Castlevania, and man, it set the bar high. You play as Nathan Graves, a vampire hunter’s apprentice who gets yeeted into the depths of Dracula’s castle after a ritual goes wrong. Classic setup, but the atmosphere here is thick—dimly lit corridors, gothic spires, and this weirdly haunting soundtrack that somehow works perfectly on the GBA’s tinny speakers.
Gameplay’s pure Metroidvania: whip skeletons, dodge Medusa heads, and slowly unlock new abilities to reach previously blocked areas. The DSS card system is a neat twist—mixing different magic effects by combining drops from enemies—though good luck getting the rare ones without grinding. Nathan moves a little stiff compared to later games, but the challenge feels fair (except maybe that damn battle arena).
Fun fact: This was the last Japanese Castlevania to use the "Akumajou Dracula" name before they switched to just "Castlevania." It’s got that old-school vibe with just enough fresh ideas to stand out.
