Konami and Count Dracula; a successful duo!
One year after Konami breathed new life into the Castlevania series with Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, a brand new sequel was released on the GameBoy Advance: Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

The story takes place 50 years after the original Castlevania, with the protagonist being the grandson of Simon Belmont: Juste. Unfortunately for Juste (but fortunately for us as players), his best friend Maxim gets kidnapped to, you guessed it, Count Dracula's castle. It's high time for Juste to grab his whip from his nightstand and teach the undead a lesson.

Harmony of Dissonance improves in almost every aspect over the previous game released on the GBA: Circle of the Moon. The castle is simply gigantic and the improved and streamlined controls make it a joy to explore. Dodge and charge at enemies with L1 and R1 (yes, those are Playstation terms. Call me a heretic).

On top of the already gigantic castle in the real world, there is also an alternative version in another dimension, where you as a player must cleverly navigate between to solve puzzles and defeat enemies; simply brilliant and revolutionary.

All in all, the game offers dozens of hours of gameplay fun. The sprites look very good, with gigantic knights floating on your screen thanks to independently moving and animated body parts; your GBA is pushed to the limit by this masterpiece.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of GBA cartridges, there is also a compromise; the music is not as good as the predecessor.

Nevertheless, if someone asks you what the best games on the GBA are, Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance certainly belongs there. Grab your silver bullet, load it into your great-grandfather's gun, and embark on the adventure of this classic!

Classic Metroidvania Experience with Strong Gameplay
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance offers what I consider a classic Metroidvania experience that stays true to the roots of the series while making good use of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. In the story, you follow Juste Belmont, a new member of the legendary Belmont family, on his quest through a mysterious castle to save a lost friend. The gameplay is smooth and focuses on exploration combined with challenging platform action and the use of magic and weapons. For fans of the Metroidvania genre, this is a must-play title.

Graphically, the game impresses with detailed environments and animations. However, I must say that the bright colours sometimes contrast too sharply, which means the dark atmosphere of earlier entries isn't always conveyed. The soundtrack is effective and supports the gameplay well, but it lacks the memorable music of previous Castlevania titles. For fans of the series, this might be a downside, but it does little to detract from the enjoyment of the game.

Overall, Harmony of Dissonance offers a solid adventure with strong gameplay and enough depth to keep you engaged. Although the game doesn't quite reach the level of its predecessor, Symphony of the Night, it remains a worthy addition to the Castlevania series. The mix of exploration, combat, and magical elements ensures you'll want to return to the mysterious castle time and again.
