Each of these games is an excellent individual effort and would be well worth revisiting alone. All together, for the equivalent of a few bucks apiece, the value is incredible! [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 28]
To be clear, it’s mostly Aria of Sorrow that’s doing the heavy lifting with this collection, as it really is one of the best in the entire Castlevania series. Circle and Harmony are alright but on the lower tier of the other Metroidvanias, while Dracula X is middling even on its own standards. These are still very much worth playing, though, and this collection makes for an essential purchase for both longtime Castlevania fans and newbies.

I love that these old games are getting released on the Switch. They are timeless really and have aged pretty well. I think they could have just included the three DS era games here as well but they are most likely saving it as another compilation. Also hope to see an updated SOTN switch port as well in the future. Aria of sorrow alone is worth the price of admission, while CotM and Harmony are solid entries. Dracula X is kind of meh, but at least it's there. It's nice to go back and see the glory days of Metroidvania when we have so many of these types of games now that push the envelope like Hollow Knight, Ori, Etc. This collection should not be missed by fans of the series.

Konami has pulled off a great collection here, filled with great GBA games (and a bonus one from the SNES), awesome new features and great presentation. I have very few gripes with this collection - it's a must-have for Castlevania and Metroidvania enthusiasts.
Castlevania Advance Collection is exactly the jolt of excitement Konami’s classic series of gothic action-platformers needs to succeed. All games featured look and play great, with newly installed quality-of-life features making them more accessible.
So while the bells and whistles aren’t necessarily anything to write home about, the GBA games at the core of this Castlevania Advance Collection are easily worth the price of admission. I remain flummoxed and annoyed that Konami is holding Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night hostage for the time being, but hopefully that will be resolved someday.
It's hard to sulk your pleasure in front of this Castlevania Advance Collection. For twenty euros, players can discover and rediscover three essentials of the Game Boy Advance. If the weather hasn't been so good with the SNES opus, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow and Circle of the Moon haven't aged a bit. So now is the perfect opportunity to add 3 great metroidvania to your collection. Too bad only one of them benefits from a French translation.
A unique opportunity to re-enjoy Castlevania GBA editions with the addition of Castlevania X. Full of extras and quality of life options for added enjoyment, but very poor in terms of video games included.
A collection of the finest GBA Castlevania games and one mediocre SNES Castlevania game. This collection has hundreds of hours and it comes at the bargain price of €20.

Konami is slowly bringing back a beloved series that has influence on hundreds of games nowadays.
This collection has one of the best games in the series beeing Aria of Sorrow.

This is an amazing collection finally Konami does something right! Great games the only complaint I have is that rondo of blood and symphony of the night are not included lol. Let’s hope this sells well enough so we can get a 3ds collection for switch those are excellent games as well! Buy this ASAP
