Castlevania : Circle of the Moon Game

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon for the Game Boy Advance is a gothic action-adventure that throws you into a sprawling, monster-filled castle with all the whip-cracking intensity the series is known for—but with a fresh twist. Instead of playing as a Belmont, you step into the boots of Nathan Graves, a vampire hunter-in-training armed with the addictive Dual Set-Up System, which lets you mix and match magical cards to unleash devastating attacks. The moody, detailed pixel art and haunting soundtrack make every corridor feel alive (or undead), while the challenging Metroidvania-style exploration keeps you hooked as you unlock new abilities and secrets.

Fans of the series love Circle of the Moon for its tough-but-fair gameplay and deep RPG mechanics, though its famously dark GBA visuals led to some squinting back in the day! If you crave a classic Castlevania experience with a unique magic system and a satisfying grind for upgrades, this underrated gem is a must-play. Just watch out for Dracula—he’s not exactly rolling out the welcome wagon.
