Everyone loves a bargain right? Getting a great deal on a product, a service, anything, is a great feeling. It's better when you get something free, and further better when it's a great product or service. That's the feeling you will have when you purchase the Castlevania Double Pack for Game Boy Advance. You get not just one game, but two games for your purchase price. Now, the quality of the games? We're going to find out exactly how well the Castlevania Double Pack stacks up.
From Konami:
Castlevania Double Pack collects two great Castlevania titles for the Game Boy Advance. The set provides twice the incredible gothic adventure for one low price! In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, you'll use your new "Spell Fusion" powers to acquire the relics of Dracula, left behind from 50 years in the past, to unravel the disappearance of your friend Lydie. In Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow, you'll take on murderous monsters and absorb their souls to gain their abilities--and uncover a terrible secret.
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance for GameBoy Advance brings players back into the world of Dracula, a place where unspeakable monsters lurk and powerful magic rules. Only 50 years have passed since Simon Belmont liberated the land from the menacing curse of Dracula. Now Juste Belmont--the latest scion in the legendary family of Vampire hunters--must take up his whip and storm a mysterious castle in search of his childhood friend Lydie.
Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow
Its the most exciting Castlevania adventure yet! The year is 2035 and Soma Cruz is about to witness the first solar eclipse of the 21st century when he suddenly blacks out--only to awaken inside a mysterious castle. As Soma, you must navigate the castles labyrinths while confronting perilous monsters at every turn. But beware, you must escape before evil consumes you!
Story 4.5/5
From Konami:
In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, players take the role of Juste Belmont, a descendant of Simon Belmont. It has been nearly fifty years since Simon Belmont rescued the land from the curse of Dracula. Now it’s Juste Belmont's turn as he must acquire the relics of Dracula left behind from the past in order to unravel the mysterious disappearance of his friend Lydie Erlanger.
In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, players take the role of Soma Cruz, a young man who has been chosen as the next incarnation of the dark lord Dracula. Players discover that they are destined to become the dark lord and the only way to escape from this evil fate is to escape the castle.
The stories go off in completely different directions. Harmony of Dissonance has you playing the role of Juste Belmont, searching for a friend in the ruins of Dracula's castle. Aria of Sorrow, on the other hand, takes place in the future, 2035, adding a unique twist to the Castlevania series. You play Soma Cruz, who is trying to escape from the Castle.
Harmony of Dissonance really follows along with the story build up with previous Castlevania games. Aria of Sorrow goes off in a tangent to the central Castlevania story, yet still connects back to the basic fundamentals of the story.
