Castlevania: Circle of the Moon is an action game released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance. Players take on the role of Nathan Graves, who must explore Dracula's castle to rescue his mentor and stop the dark lord’s resurrection. The main objective revolves around navigating a sprawling, interconnected castle filled with enemies, traps, and hidden secrets.
The game features a deliberate and methodical pace, emphasizing exploration and combat strategy. A unique mechanic in Circle of the Moon is the Dual Set-Up System (DSS), which allows players to combine different cards to create powerful abilities and spells, adding depth to character customization and combat tactics. This system encourages experimentation and strategic planning to adapt to various challenges.
Distinctive for its use of a non-linear map and RPG elements, the game offers players the freedom to explore areas in multiple orders and develop their character’s skills. Its blend of platforming and role-playing elements sets it apart from more straightforward action titles on the platform.
