This GBA double pack gives you two very different flavors of Castlevania in one cartridge. First up, Harmony of Dissonance – it feels like a throwback to the classic whip-cracking action, but with Juste Belmont sliding around like he's on ice skates (seriously, the movement takes some getting used to). Then there's Aria of Sorrow, which goes full Symphony of the Night with its RPG elements and that sweet soul-stealing mechanic where enemies drop their abilities.

I bounced off Harmony at first because the castle looks weirdly washed out, but Aria? That one hooked me immediately – the pixel art pops, and figuring out which souls to farm for the best builds is stupidly addictive. Both games have those sprawling maps you'll scribble notes about, though Harmony's more about straight platforming while Aria lets you experiment with builds.

If you only play one, make it Aria – but having both back-to-back shows how wild it is that these came out within a year of each other.
