  1. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

    Reviewer: Just RPG
    3 May 2009

    It seemed like it took Konami forever to release a follow-up to the acclaimed Symphony of the Night , but within a short matter of time the Gameboy Advance became the home to a few successors. In Harmony of Dissonance , the Belmonts return to action as players take control of the legendary Simon Belmont’s grandson, Juste Belmont. Two years ago, Juste’s friend Maxim left on a training expedition. Maxim suddenly appears one day, severely wounded and with only a vague... Read more

    Castlevania. If you ask any self-respecting gamer what there top ten franchises are, you'll get more then a few Castlevania answers. In the last GBA Castlevania game, we saw Nathan Graves putting a stop to Drac's evil plans. In this adventure we see Juste Belmont, a direct descendant of the Belmont clan, aided with his good friend Maxim, trying to find their good friend Lydie. On the way they stumble upon Dracula's castle, which appears right out of the fog. And that's... Read more

    >Iga’s first effort on the GBA was a good game, but that’s it. Harmony of Dissonance did most everything right, but in smaller bits. Due to this, it actually feels like a step back compared to the previous title, Circle of the Moon . It’s definitely worth picking up as a great budget portable title though, especially in the Castlevania Double Pack. Read more

    Overall & Conclusion This is a fun Castlevania game that follows along in a similar vein to the other GBA Castlevania titles, but in some ways it's missing something. I found the map layout to be rather disappointing, and I have a lot of tolerance for these things if it's fun doing it. With just a little too little guidance compared to other titles, I found it lacking in the pacing. But even still, it's a solid playthrough. I found it to be around a ten hour adventure,...

    Konami has always been known for their Castlevania series, which, with a notable exception or two on the Nintendo 64, has always been a delight to play. I am happy to say the newest installment Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (HOD) for the Gameboy Advance definitely carries on this legacy. With the last game in the series, Circle of the Moon (COTM), released just over a year ago, most people were a bit surprised that Harmony of Dissonance came out so fast. Some people... Read more
