Play Akumajou Dracula - Circle of the Moon (J)(Capital) Online
Whip candles for hearts, dodge flying bones, and scramble through Dracula’s cramped castle while praying enemies drop decent DSS cards—this one’s got that old-school Castlevania weight with a mean GBA crunch. That soundtrack? Pure handheld sorcery.
Game Overview
Circle of the Moon is that first GBA Castlevania that somehow still feels weightier than most of its sequels. You play as Nathan Graves, a vampire hunter’s apprentice who gets yeeted into the depths of Dracula’s castle right after the ritual kicks off—classic timing, right?
It’s got that classic Symphony of the Night-style exploration, but with a grittier, almost claustrophobic feel thanks to the GBA’s screen. You’re whipping candles for hearts, dodging bone-throwing skeletons, and praying the next enemy drops something better than another crummy potion. The DSS card system’s a neat twist—mixing magic combos by collecting drops from enemies, though good luck getting the ones you actually want early on.
Also, the soundtrack slaps way harder than it has any right to on a handheld from 2001. Just be ready for some brutal difficulty spikes—this isn’t the breezy Metroidvania era yet.
