Description

Count Dracula is once more back from the dead...

Join the fight against Evil in the Castlevania Advance Collection, a compilation of timeless action-exploration masterpieces!

In addition to the three legendary Castlevania games that were first released in the early 2000s, this collection also includes Castlevania: Dracula X and some never-before-seen sketches and artwork from the games!

All four games are enhanced with newly added modern features such as Rewind, Save/Load and Replay, making this the best way possible to experience these classics or discover them for the first time! This collection also boasts a handy Encyclopedia, a Music Player with all soundtracks and you can even change the ROM Region to play all games in different versions.

Featured Games

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
The story follows Nathan Graves, a vampire hunter apprentice who enters Dracula's Castle along with his Master in order to prevent the dreaded return of the Count.

Combine action and attribute cards to create over 80 unique spell effects, ranging from fire whips to ice blizzards, with the 'Dual Set-up System'.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Play as Juste Belmont, the grandson of legendary Vampire Hunter Simon Belmont!

This title introduced a lot of new features to the franchise, such as 'Boss Rush' mode and the 'Spell Fusion' system that lets players combine Sub-Weapons with Spell Books to cast devastating spells.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Soma Cruz, a young high school exchange student in Japan, is somehow involved in the eternal cycle of reincarnation of the Dark Lord himself. What role does Soma play in all of this? Will he be able to return to his own world?

Aria of Sorrow also introduced a brand new attack system called 'Tactical Souls', that lets Soma Cruz capture the souls of slain monsters to acquire their abilities. (100+ abilities in total!)

Aria of Sorrow also has a ton of New Game+ content.

Castlevania: Dracula X
Castlevania: Dracula X is a reimagination of the cult action game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and has been acclaimed as one of the most challenging Castlevania titles ever created.

The Dark Lord Count Dracula rises again from the dead to revive the forces of darkness and to annihilate this corrupted world and create a new one.

You are Richter Belmont, heir of the Belmont family, and you set out for Dracula's Castle to defeat its evil master.

Fight your way through Dracula's Castle and defeat the toughest enemies with the new special attack 'Item Crash'!

An outstanding way to play some retro Castlevania classics. Let me start off by saying this collection as a whole is MORE than worth the money, especially if you see the prices on ebay for some of these games, so that

Circle of the Moon I still really like this one, although nostalgia is probably doing some of the heavy lifting. The castle is fun to explore, the level design holds up well, and finding secrets always feels rewarding.

[Nostalgic] a classic Castlevania, OG for the genre. Games are very old, you either play them for nostalgia or to check out the classics. As for port, audio was weirding out sometimes, and visuals were getting wonky,

A collection of the 3 GBA Castlevanias as well as Dracula X for the SNES. An interesting collection particularly because the first two GBA titles are so different despite both being metroidvanias. Here's my thoughts:

Games are a bit tougher than I remember from my childhood. No issues playing through them so far. One little feature that you wouldn't get emulating them is a helpful guide for collectables. Nothing fancy, just a menu
