I'd expected the GBA Castlevania games to all feel very similar, but this is not the case. This game is quite different from Circle of the Moon, and really feels much more like a Symphony of the Night inspired game than the former. I enjoyed its departure from the card-based system of its predecessor, and focus on more straightforward whip-slinging gameplay. Its music is a bit weak and the map is challenging to traverse due to its dual castle nature, but otherwise it's a solid Dracula slayin' adventure.
