Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) | comment |
In 1830, a woman named Camilla holds a ceremony to resurrect Dracula. A trio of vampire hunters, the aging Morris Baldwin, his son and apprentice Hugh, and Hugh's fellow apprentice and rival Nathan Graves, go to her castle to stop her, but arrive too late. The reborn Dracula overcomes them all, captures Morris, and casts Hugh and Nathan into the catacombs. Lost within the castle and abandoned by Hugh, Nathan must find his way to Dracula's chamber to defeat him and save his captive master.The second modern new-school Castlevania, following in the footsteps of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Circle of the Moon was the first game in the series on the Game Boy Advance, launching together with the system in 2001. It helped keep the series going after the more recent Nintendo 64 games had been critically panned.Gameplay consists of exploring the castle in search of artifacts that will allow Nathan to overcome obstacles and push deeper inside, with the ultimate goal of confronting Dracula. Exploration and combat with enemies also yields items that will make Nathan more powerful. The most valuable are a series of tarot-like cards which allow the casting of spells. Although the plot is threadbare and predictable, it is played up for all it's worth, with major bosses that would just otherwise just be random monsters given purpose, if not exactly character.The game caught some flak upon release for allegedly having graphics so dark and poorly-defined that it was nearly impossible to see what was going on on the screen. In fact, this was the fault of the non-backlit Game Boy Advance, for which Circle of the Moon was a launch title. Playing on anything with a properly lit screen dispelled these criticisms, but it explains the uncharacteristically bright and colorful graphics in the later Harmony of Dissonance. Also notable was the difficulty, which was considerably higher than the games which came before and after.As of October 2014, you can now pick up the game on the Wii U as a Virtual Console title in all regions, and as of September 2021 it is included in the multiplatform Castlevania Advance Collection. | |

Early Game Hell | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: At the beginning of the Thief mode, enemies can kill you in about two or three hits and your attacks are incredibly weak, but as your luck goes up, you can easily collect equippable items that more than make up for your reduced stats and max out your healing items. By the end of the game, even the Battle Arena can be easiest to beat in this mode. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_18683fc2 | comment |
Power Up Letdown: The Dagger is yet again the weak starter weapon that just gets in the way of progress. Averted once you unlock the Shooter mode, you can make daggers home in on enemies, which can actually be pretty handy. The Shooter also does more damage with daggers than the other job classes (but they still aren't as powerful as your whip). Quite a few of the DSS combos, though with 100 possible spell effects, this is to be expected: The Venus + Griffon DSS spell. Increases intelligence by 25%... which has functionally no use, as it resets back to your base if the spell is turned off and drains 4MP/second, and intelligence is 1 MP regen for every 100 Intelligence. The ONLY conceivable use it has is to try and regenerate your MP faster if you lack for restorative items and have a safe room to sit for a few moments, but you need above 1600 Intelligence for that to be useful, which is only realistically achievable in Magician Mode. Venus + Cockatrice. Gains experience from walking... WALKING, not RUNNING, and you only gain 1 point every couple of steps. Would be cool if it weren't for the fact that it takes a lot of experience to gain a single level, and running and jumping restarts the amount of steps you need to take for the gain to kick in again. Jupiter + Cockatrice. Turns you to stone and makes you highly resistant to damage...at the cost of slowing you to even slower than Nathan's usual walking speed and making it so you can barely jump higher than a step. On the plus side, status ailments won't affect Nathan while he's like this. Jupiter + Black Dog. Surrounds you in a black hole that both protects you and drains 1% of your HP per second like poison does. Mars + Golem. Swings a hammer that, upon contact with a surface, unleashes a quake that does damage to enemies situated on that surface. Sounds good in theory, but the execution used here leaves much to be desired. Firstly, the hitbox of that hammer is outright prohibitive: Nathan can't do damage if he hits an enemy with the shaft of the hammer, and the hammer being used is huge. Secondly, Nathan takes a painfully lengthy time just swinging that hammer in the first place, meaning that the possibility of an enemy hitting him and interrupting his attack is a problem. Thirdly, if the final attack animation doesn't land on a surface, no quake results. Fourthly, and most egregiously considering the second shortcoming, this hammer has no STR buff whatsoever compared to just using the stock Hunter's Whip. Lastly, Nathan can't brandish the whip if the attack button is held, so forget that tactic if projectiles start heading his way. Mars + Black Dog. Shoot a gun...that takes a LONG time to draw and even fire. The damage is incredible compared to the other Mars weapons, but only usable if your enemy is standing still and not an immediate threat in the time it takes to draw the weapon. The only potential saving grace, outside of abusing the DSS combination glitch while summoning with any of the damaging card combinations that Uranus offers, is that the STR boost does apply to slide kicking or tackling your enemies. Diana + Thunderbird. Lightning crackles while the whip is being brandished, increasing damage potential. Niche as it is, this effect would be good if it wasn't for the limited nature of whip brandishing in this game: unlike every other Castlevania game in which the ability to brandish the whip existed, the player must be grounded in order to make use of it. The Neptune card is either this or extremely handy, but it depends super heavily on knowing what element each enemy belongs to. While some are super obvious (Poison Armor, Earth Demon, etc.), others... aren't (Evil Sword = Poison? Only obvious when in the Battle Arena, where they gain the ability to poison you). Without a LOT of experimentation, you probably won't get a lot of mileage out of the Neptune card. The Pluto card. While there are indeed some very handy combinations available once Nathan obtains that card (namely, the combinations which lead to the Item Crush, Exp Gain +20%, and Speed Up abilities), the rest of the combinations available are very situational at best, which makes it seem fairly disappointing for the effort necessary to acquire it. The Black Dog card, probably far more than any other card in your available deck. The effort required to get it is hardly worth the mostly mediocre, if not outright useless effects it gives. The only useful effects it gives are the Darkness Whip from Mercury and the Darkness Shield from Neptune. Everything else is either too unwieldy, damages you, makes you weaker defensively, or isn't useful at all. Shooter Mode, which is unlocked for beating Fighter mode and is overall weaker. Despite getting a buff to subweapon damage, hearts, and the Homing Dagger upgrade, this is cancelled out by it having the same stat penalty as the Magician, meaning Fighter is actually stronger with subweapons at lower levels. Sure, you can use DSS again, but that means dealing with the notoriously low drop rates again as well. For these reasons, Shooter is often considered the hardest overall mode. | |

Poor, Predictable Rock | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_20210131 | comment |
Poor, Predictable Rock: The Underground Waterway is one of the most obnoxious areas in the game due to the freezing attacks its enemies can use. With the Neptune/Serpent combo, which grants immunity to ice attacks, the place becomes nearly harmless. The difficulty comes from the Neptune card dropping from Ice Armors, which are primarily found in the Underground Waterway. | |

Arrange Mode | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_2b50986a | comment |
Arrange Mode: Rather than unlocking alternate characters, each clear of Circle of the Moon grants access to a new mode where Nathan starts with different stat growths and item availability. Magician Mode, unlocked by beating the main game, has you start off with all 20 DSS cards, high magical ability, and reductions to health, strength, and defense. Fighter Mode, unlocked by beating Magician Mode, removes all DSS cards from the game but increases the player's physical strength. Shooter Mode emphasizes the Sub-weapons, giving the player a high maximum of hearts as well as decreasing their heart consumption, but decreases health, strength, and defense. This mode also introduces an exclusive Sub-weapon in the Homing Dagger. Thief mode plays like the Luck mode from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, with an increase to luck in exchange for penalties for every other stat. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: The Cursed Ring grants +30 to both Strength and Defense, but a pretty massive penalty of -100 Luck. Under normal circumstances, this is rather significant given that item drops are very rare as it is and likely not really worth the excessive penalty to the one stat that increases it outside of boss battles. However, during Thief mode, by the time you're even able to get a Cursed Ring (first chance is from Beast Demons in Eternal Corridor), you're likely to have over 4000 Luck as it is and gain +160 additional Luck per level. As a result, the penalty is peanuts and worth the significant boost to both Strength and Defense given Thief mode's lacking growth rates in those two stats. The only other items to give near that amount up to this point are the Hard Ring (+50 Defense, -10 to everything else) and the Strength Ring (+50 Strength, -10 to everything else). | |

Cut and Paste Environments: Blatantly obvious, at least compared to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night that came before and Harmony of Dissonance that came after. Large stretches of the castle have precious few distinguishing features, giving it a far more repetitive feel more reminiscent of NES Metroidvanias like Metroid or Blaster Master. | |

Musical Nod: The title screen and main menu reuse the main menu theme from Rondo of Blood, even including the sound of a door opening when the player presses Start. The entire game is a love letter to music from past games. Accompanying the five tracks original to the game, among others, are the intro theme and stage 2 theme from Bloodlines and final boss theme from Dracula's Curse. The Stage 4 and Game Over tunes are from Super Castlevania IV. The first boss theme, "Shudder," is from Castlevania 64. | |

Rare Random Drop | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_4afad1b9 | comment |
Rare Random Drop: Thanks to the absurdly low drop rates of items, some of which only drop from one enemy at a rate of less than 1%. Thief mode helps by starting Nathan out with 1600 luck, and each level in that mode gives Nathan +160 luck, so around the low-to-mid 50's, that stat will literally be maxed out at the cap of 9999. However, considering that Thief Mode takes four playthroughs to get, there's going to inevitably be some item-farming downtime during a given playthrough. | |

The Dagger is yet again the weak starter weapon that just gets in the way of progress.

The Shooter also does more damage with daggers than the other job classes (but they still aren't as powerful as your whip). | |

Useless Useful Spell: The watch subweapon ordinarily only stops regular enemies, slows down larger ones, and doesn't do a thing at all to bosses. There is an item crash spell available later in the game that enhances the watch to make it stop all enemies and even slow down bosses (including Dracula himself), but at this point you have much better spells that actually do damage. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first portable "Metroidvania" Castlevania game, and one of the least friendly ones for playing on the go, due to having no Suspend Save of any sort coupled with save points being sparse and well-distanced, as if the developers thought the game would be played exclusively at home with the GBA plugged into an AC adapter (rechargable batteries for the GBA wouldn't come until the Game Boy Advance SP). Thankfully, this lesson would be learned come the next game. Circle is also the only portable Castlevania title without an in-game enemy database, currency and shops to spend it at, and a second quest where you get to play as the main character's rival; these were all features of Symphony of the Night that became standardized starting with Harmony. This game is also among the few where new armor and accessories only affect Nathan's stats. While other games would have items that raise resistance to elements, halve Heart consumption, and so on, those powers are relegated to DSS use. As a result, your inventory will become cluttered with many items that are no longer usable simply because you have an item with superior stat increases. | |

Bragging Rights Reward: The Shinningsic Armor, giving only 50 less Defense than the best defensive armor in the game, is found after completing the Battle Arena, a string of 17 fights in a row that you're expected to complete without casting any spells. It's one of the most difficult areas in the game, so if you're skilled enough to complete it, there's probably nothing else in the game that can challenge you (unless you need to revisit to get the two cards in the arena. | |

Dump Stat | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: To a much lesser extent than most examples, but of your four primary statistics, Intelligence functions as slightly less useful than the other three. Why? Because contrary to what most RPG's have taught you, Intelligence does not increase the power of your spells in this game, serving only to determine your MP regeneration rate, of which it takes quite a significant increase in order to regenerate faster. Offensive spells offer a flat percentage bonus to your attack stat and scale with it rather, and there are items to restore your MP rather than wait five minutes for your MP to restore on its own, though those can be difficult to find due to the low drop rate of items in this game. Chances are most players will probably not worry so much about MP Regen once they have enough intelligence to offset the usage of the Venus cards that boost the other three stats. Played FULLY straight in Warrior Mode, however, as Nathan will never find any DSS cards and thus, your MP Regen and Intelligence as a result are utterly meaningless for him in that playthrough. | |

There are no alternate character modes, with four New Game Plus modes taking their place, each of which tweak Nathan's stats and abilities. In other games, the most you get is choosing a difficulty level and your level cap rather than being offered new play styles for the same character. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Finding the DSS cards is generally difficult, but the final two of each set are especially tricky. The Pluto and Uranus cards requires you to return to certain boss rooms at much later points in the game—when you would have no logical reason to—and defeat a mook that appears to be part of the scenery before it melts away; successfully destroy it, and it may randomly drop the card. The Unicorn and Black Dog cards are rare drops from enemies far into the Battle Arena — an area with abnormally pumped-up enemies whose later rooms you can only get to after completing those before them (oh, and you can't use DSS there either). Some DSS combinations have effects which don't show up immediately. The simpler DSS combos instantly add elements to your whip or increase your stats, but some other combos only show their uses after you get hit. Worse, some, especially the useful summoning, requires a relatively complex button input, and the game absolutely doesn't tell you all these until you figure them out. The matter of getting Gambler Armbands can be tricky. While the Scary Candle and Trick Candle (who drop the Uranus and Pluto Cards) can be dealt with quickly using Venus/Thunderbird, even without a Stopwatch, the Mimic Candle who drops Gambler Armbands has 900+ HP and 600 DEF, which is rather stacked for something that disappears after a few seconds. The answer is to use the Stopwatch Item Crush to freeze it wholesale, though with the amount of abuse it can take, in Shooter and Thief modes, you'll need 120 Hearts just to kill it once. Things are only more awkward for Fighter, as in spite of Fighter's attack being through the roof, their total lack of DSS Cards means that the Stopwatch Item Crush is out of the question, and at a high enough level (such as Level 48) with as much Strength as can be derived from equipment as possible, it'll take six hits to destroy the thing, which is seemingly out of the question because Nathan attacks more slowly while crouched than while standing. The "Guide Dang It" aspect is remembering that you can slide, and that your slide is both just as powerful as your whip and comes out significantly faster. Thus, by using the Stopwatch before exposing the Mimic Candle, whipping it twice as it falls, three more times when it lands, and closing with a slide kick, it's just barely possible to take it down, possibly even with enough leeway to change to Luck gear before the kick if your level is high enough. | |

Minimalist Run | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_6ff1a0bd | comment |
Minimalist Run: Actually rewarded. Opting to play the game without a subweapon limits your options somewhat, but if you get enough hearts to use an Item Crash without one, you perform a long lasting, screen-wide attack powerful enough to kill all but a handful of bosses in a single cast. Outside of Magician Mode and glitches, this is a very late-game capability, as it costs 100 Hearts to use plus the Pluto card, which is required for the Item Crash DSS combo and drops from an enemy that only spawns after defeating Camilla. | |

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Mars + Golem. Swings a hammer that, upon contact with a surface, unleashes a quake that does damage to enemies situated on that surface. Sounds good in theory, but the execution used here leaves much to be desired. Firstly, the hitbox of that hammer is outright prohibitive: Nathan can't do damage if he hits an enemy with the shaft of the hammer, and the hammer being used is huge. Secondly, Nathan takes a painfully lengthy time just swinging that hammer in the first place, meaning that the possibility of an enemy hitting him and interrupting his attack is a problem. Thirdly, if the final attack animation doesn't land on a surface, no quake results. Fourthly, and most egregiously considering the second shortcoming, this hammer has no STR buff whatsoever compared to just using the stock Hunter's Whip. Lastly, Nathan can't brandish the whip if the attack button is held, so forget that tactic if projectiles start heading his way. | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: At the start of the game, Magician Mode suffers from doing only half the damage and taking double damage, plus MP and MP recovery aren't high enough to spam DSS attacks. By the end of the game, you recover MP so quickly you can chain even the strongest Uranus DSS combos while remaining invincible. | |

Cap | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_834427cd | comment |
Cap: Unlike all the other Metroidvania games in the series, your default stats for STR, DEF, INT and LUCK start at 100, quickly go up to 4 digits and theoretically max out at 9999 (though you're not likely to reach that point unless you're playing one of the special modes). In gameplay terms, this doesn't make much of a difference, but due to the way enemy defense works, the damage done to various enemies varies to a ridiculous degree compared to the other games in the series: by the time you're strong enough to beat the game and can do about 100 damage to endgame enemies with a normal attack, you'll do close to 1000-2000 damage to the weakest enemies in the game, when in any other game in the series, it'd probably be closer to 200-300. The Character levels max out at 99. | |

Meteor-Summoning Attack: One of Dracula's ultimate abilities is to drop a shower of meteors on the protagonist. Given Dracula's own gigantic form limiting your movement options, the only real escape is to activate a rock-absorbing spell or use Summon Magic and abuse its invincibility frames. | |

Metroidvania | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_9ecbba6c | comment |
The first portable "Metroidvania" Castlevania game, and one of the least friendly ones for playing on the go, due to having no Suspend Save of any sort coupled with save points being sparse and well-distanced, as if the developers thought the game would be played exclusively at home with the GBA plugged into an AC adapter (rechargable batteries for the GBA wouldn't come until the Game Boy Advance SP). Thankfully, this lesson would be learned come the next game. | |

Armor of Invincibility: There's two, the first being the "Shinning Armor" which boosts all your stats in addition to its outstanding defense. Its counterpart, the Dark Armor, boosts defense even more, but actually cuts the rest of your stats by 10 (it's also simpler to acquire, being an item drop, albeit one from an enemy that needs to be backtracked to find, and in only one location). | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Finding the DSS cards is generally difficult, but the final two of each set are especially tricky. The Pluto and Uranus cards requires you to return to certain boss rooms at much later points in the game—when you would have no logical reason to—and defeat a mook that appears to be part of the scenery before it melts away; successfully destroy it, and it may randomly drop the card. The Unicorn and Black Dog cards are rare drops from enemies far into the Battle Arena — an area with abnormally pumped-up enemies whose later rooms you can only get to after completing those before them (oh, and you can't use DSS there either). | |

Shout-Out | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A well-hidden easter egg gives a shoutout to an obscure Nintendo 64 fighter called Rakuga Kidsnote This makes more sense when you consider that Circle of the Moon was made by the same dev team, Konami Computer Entertainment Kobe. In a secret room hidden within a secret room, itself pretty difficult to find, there is a unique enemy, who will immediately run away from you before you can fight it. Figure out how to catch and kill it, and, if you're very lucky, it will drop a Bear Ring. This item has no ostensible purpose other than lowering all of your stats by 100 when equipped. However, if you equip the ring and then use the Pluto/Black Dog combo that normally turns you in the aforementioned skeleton (and getting either of those cards is a Guide Dang It! in itself), you instead will turn you into a strange green bear that can shoot bear-shaped rockets out of numerous cannons and drop bombs. It is a lot more agile than the skeleton, and can Double Jump, but still dies in 1 hit. The bear, called Beartank, was one of the fighters in Rakuga Kids. | |

Mana Shield: The Neptune card combinations heal you if you are hit with an element that it is guarding you against at the cost of MP. However, in the regular mode, the amount of restored health is very small, making it more useful for the shielding than the healing. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: One of the more unusual games in the "Metroidvania" era of Castlevania games: It doesn't have Koji Igarashi's involvement. It's not part of Igarashi's canon, at least not initially. The Jump Physics are somewhat less flexible than in other games. There are no shops and, other than the reward gotten from beating the Battle Arena, no fixed locations where you can find new equipment, so what few items you can get must be farmed from enemies. There is no After Boss Recovery, making it very possible to kill a boss and then die trying to get to the nearest save point. Dracula's lair is in the center of the castle rather than being at the top, let alone approached by a big staircase coming from the right. Even Symphony of the Night, which has Dracula fought in the center of the Inverted Castle, at least has his series-traditional quarters present in both versions of the castle. In addition, Dracula's two forms can be fought separately, unlike in pretty much all other games where you fight his second form immediately after defeating his first. The castle in this game isn't even his castle, but Carmilla's. The stat numbers are on a pretty big scale; unlike other games where stats cap at 255, stats here are each in the 2000s at least by the endgame. There are no alternate character modes, with four New Game Plus modes taking their place, each of which tweak Nathan's stats and abilities. In other games, the most you get is choosing a difficulty level and your level cap rather than being offered new play styles for the same character. Unlike virtually every other game in the series, the first area of Dracula's Castle is not the entrance, as the protagonists have already reached the center of the castle in the opening cutscene. Gameplay begins in the Catacombs instead. | |

Technicolor Toxin | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_f06cb15 | comment |
Technicolor Toxin: The poison status effect causes Nathan to take on a purple tint. Poisonous worms, Poison Armors and other poison enemies are purple, fitting the game's focus on different elemental traits. Oddly, the poison-curing antidote is also purple in color. The Manticore card applies the Poison element to your spells, which results in predominantly purple graphical effects. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Cerberus makes up for its weak appearance in Symphony by setting the standards of high difficulty for the bosses of this game. It is huge, the player can't be careless about its powerful attacks, and only by bringing the right subweapon can the player expect to do good, constant damage. It also serves as this in New Game Plus, because while Magician and Fighter mode can dispose of it easily, in Shooter and Thief modes where you have weaker stats and less overpowered tricks, it will tear you a new one if you're not prepared. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: You can skip the fights with Death and the Zombie Dragons. Once you kill Adramelech and blow up all of the sarcophagi barriers, you can access the Underground Waterway, although the water is poisonous until you get an item from Death. If you know the path through it and some good reflexes (or abuse the Pluto/Unicorn combo on Magician mode or with glitches), you can make it through to the save point before Camilla relatively unharmed. This is acknowledged in the credits, which shows images of Nathan fighting each boss, but the Zombie Dragons and Death do not appear because they are technically optional. | |

One-Winged Angel: To get more power after Nathan beats him, Dracula teleports into a hellish dimension where he turns into a demonic figure. Death turns into a skeletal mantis-turtle creature after losing enough health. Camilla turns from her human form to her typical demonic skull form before fighting her. Necromancer turns himself into a flying skeletal demon halfway through his fight. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max: After Dracula awakens and destroys the ground beneath their feet, Nathan and Hugh drop down a long shaft that should have killed them if not broken every bone in their body, but they land no worse for the wear and continue on as if nothing happened. Then again, you can drop down this same shaft over and over again during gameplay and be equally unharmed (and you might have to, as there's a few secret room behind a breakable wall in there) and a secret room in the ceiling of that room. | |
