Castlevania – Harmony of Dissonance (GBA)

Completed Games, Game Diary / February 19, 2007 / John / 1

Harmonised! My first game this year! All three endings – sad, meh, and happy – so Boss Rush mode and music player mode are both unlocked. I was level 49 at the end and finished it with 100% so the boss, like the other bosses in the game, was pretty straightforward. All in all, despite getting off to a bit of a shaky started, Harmony of Dissonance is an excellent game. It clocked in at a shade over ten and a half hours, in the end, and no frustration in sight.

Some of the bits of Dracula were a real git to find, and you need them for the good ending (and even to reach the final-final boss) but worth it in the end. As ever with metroidvania style games, there’s a significant amount of back tracking, but by the time you get to level 40 none of the baddies pose much of a threat.

So onwards and upwards – time to finish Dawn of Sorrow.
