As the hunt continues, from Aria of Sorrow to the beginning of Castlevania’ s appearance on the GBA, Circle of the Moon, I have the uneasy feeling that my whip offers less solace in this scarier version of the castle. The encounter with an earth demon in the very first minutes acts as a warning for the rest of the game: be prepared to see YOU DIED a lot! Nathan Graves has to free his master from the clutches of - you guessed it - Dracula and partners, on the way avoiding the increasingly jealous Hugh Baldwin, the son of his master.

Calling Aria of Sorrow the best handheld Castlevania is quite a bold statement: they’ re all great in their own way. But after replaying this again (and again… ) I’ ve made up my mind: it is the best Castlevania - period. It’ s the second best Gameboy Advance title of all times according to IGN. Yes, I am insinuating it’ s better than Symphony of the night. And yes, I know of the inverted castle’ s greatness and the rip-off in Harmony of Dissonance.

Castlevania games tend to pop up each year on Nintendo’ s Handheld platform. The last entries: Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow, followed the story of Soma, who mysteriously inherited Dracula’ s dark abilities. Forget about all that, and the soul harvesting system. Portrait of Ruin is the spiritual successor of Castlevania Bloodlines on the SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis. Jonathan Morris is the son of Bloodlines’ whip-equipped hero. PoR takes place during or just after the second World War.

Portrait of Ruin is the second Nintendo DS Castlevania game. Maybe, if Komani thinks it'll be worthwile, a third one will follow, since there have been three Castlevania games released for the predecessor the Gameboy Advance. All excellent Handheld Metroidvania games, but which one excels at what? A short overview would be handy indeed. Well here you go! Gameboy Advance Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance Harmony of Dissonance was actually the second Castlevania game to be released on the GBA.
