agreed, except that i (and most people) don't give a shit about 80's aesthetic it was fake as fuck

Why is this stupid game so hard? Metroidvanias aren't supposed to be hard.

Man this game was miserable to get through. I'm trying to play all the Castlevanias so I had to force myself to play this

>bosses are unreasonably hard and are complete damage sponges
>basement has no warp point, so you have to trek all the way there and back if you need to go there
>virtually 0 health potions, have to constantly go to save rooms to heal
>you get knocked back when hit, makes running through sections very tedious as you can't just jump over enemies
>2nd last boss has no save room close by, need to run through a long section with the hardest enemies in the game each time you die
>final boss shoots projectiles that are complete luck to dodge and take 25% of your health when hit.

I liked Aria and Harmony but this game seems like a shittier version of the others. Is it worth playing?

Circle of the Moon was the best handheld Castlevania. I played all the GBA and DS ones, and it was the only one that didn't feel kinda slow since you could dash.

I really want to like this game but I can't. It's way too grindy and it's way too much work to get all the cards on a default character. A little better game balance could've made this a classic. Shame.

This game is fucking weird. It's like they tried to combine Metroidvania and Classicvania into one game with GBC graphics. It is a fun game and the music is really damn good for a game boy game. It's just a bizarre butt baby.
