Editing Castlevania (section)

===Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon (The other Castlevania 10 but in Lords of Shadow timeline)===
Released on 2001 as a launch title for the Game Boy Advance, this game has events that are absolutely unrelated to the larger lore of the series, most critically being that the Belmonts have absolutely no involvement here. Instead, we take the role of Nathan Graves, apprentice to vampire hunter Morris Baldwin. He's also accompanied by Morris' son, Hugh, the rival who's pissed that his dad likes Nathan enough to hand over the protagonist-mandated whip.

Lady Carmilla decides to resurrect Dracula (Gabriel) this time, and for the ritual she needs the blood of an enemy. Thus she stages the ritual in 1860 with such pomp that Morris, Hugh, and Nathan are all present. Carmilla resurrects the big guy, who then blasts the two juniors down an obscenely long pit (which they somehow survive) and kidnaps Morris. With no way up, the two apprentices decide to make their own routes up to rescue the old man. Along the way, Nathan has to come across and kill several bosses, including Death (Who's here because he's Drac's majordomo and thus must always be a boss), Carmilla, and a brainwashed Hugh (who took the rivalry a bit too far).

The main system implemented in this title was a collectible card system that was established because [[Pokemon]] was still fresh on people's minds and [[Yu-Gi-Oh]] was slowly gaining traction to becoming the TCG behemoth it is. These cards were split between Greco-Roman deities and mythological creatures and by mixing and matching cards from each group, you developed new power ranging from the mundane elemental damage on whips to some more intriguing ones like summons and turning into a 1HP skeleton with a weapon that could instakill anything on a crit.
