What was the best retro handheld Castlevania game?

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

>> No.3434274

May be bait but seriously, most of the CV games didn't actually get good on handheld until the GBA trio.

Kid Dracula was a damn good attempt though.

>> No.3434275

>>3434190
I was not aware of Legends or Kids Dracula.

Belmont's Revenge is pretty rad though, I really like that one

>> No.3434286

I grew up with The Adventure. Gets unfairly shit on, but it's a decent game, especially for it's time.

If you patch it to make it run faster, it's actually one of the more enjoyable Castlevania games out there.

I was not aware that there was even a rom hacking scene on the game boy. I've never heard of a single gb hack until now. Anything good besides making a shitty castlevania game slightly more tolerable?

Belmont's Revenge is a fantastic game all around.

australia-kun was saying that game is not a castlevania clone.

I'd say Castlevania is based off Hammer Dracula while MoD is based off Bram Stoker Dracula.

What a well designed videogame; worthy of the Australia-kun seal of quality.

it's actually true what he says. it's fucking LOADED with content and dank secrets up to the brim. it has two whole castles to explore and the soundtrack is pretty amazing.
loved playing and finishing it.

Aria of Sorrow is actually far shorter. mostly because Chaos Realm is not a whole castle. still seems more refined as a game.

The creator of the legends hack acknowledges this.
>In v1.0, Sonia moved as quickly as when Burning Mode was activated. Due to complaints, I slowed her down a little (By using a different method to hack her speed), so Burning Mode still provides a speed bonus along with its other benefits.
