Second in the GBA Trilogy, this game really wants to be a successor to SOTN but it’s a decent game overall but better than circle of the moon.
The game has this filter which makes the game a lot brighter so this will the only colurful Castlevania due to the GBA having no backlight and with cotm receiving backlash bc of it.
Aside from that it can pretty fun with cool movement inspired from sotn and a new spell book system which was fun to try out. But I’ve ran into a few problems while playing, such as the music. The soundtrack sounds GOD AWFUL with only one good track. Then the map is just borderline confusing throughout the game and needed to play through half of it and ALSO HAS 2 FUCKING MAPS U ALTERNATE THROUGHOUT UR PLAYTHROUGH WTF. Also this whole first half of the game for me was just Brainless bc of the difficulty, It’s stupid easy (probably the easiest Metroidcvania game in the series) and u can be op very easily.
The story and characters are also kinda uninteresting, only highlight is the main character which looks like Dracula but not really. Also there’s no teleport rooms after the second map is unlocked which fucking sucked.
Fun combat and movement but everything else was mid and the music was just bad and muted it for most of my playthrough. But despite all this I find a charm in it and slightly could replay again.
Took me 6 and a half hours to finish
