i might do this, as the DS emulator has frame rate and audio issues .

Do it, I finished it recently and it holds up great and looks really good on 3DS. Hold L&R when you start it so you don't get the screen stretching

yeah, the big skeleton guys are totally resistant to stab or slash damage and some of the other mobs ignore hammer damage.

But that glyph quick change is there for that reason, that Goliath boss was tough, I got Goku pummeled a few times before I figured to crouch under him lol

I did too but it was like 75 damage a hit so I would've had to do the rest of the fight perfectly

But if you don't get the spacing just right you'll get hit. Good for stabbing him a bunch if you do it perfectly

Just started Harmony of Dissonance and this game kind of sucks so far. Does it get any better or should I just skip it and move on to the DS games?

It's alright, but it's definitely one of the weaker in the series both in style and game progression.

It's got some good stuff but if you're getting burnt out just skip it and come back to it later. Other ones are all better

Harmony becomes good when you get double jump, because then you can dive kick everything.

It's kind of like a really unpolished SOTN. The music isn't very good and the graphics are meh compared to other handheld castlevanias but at the time when it came out it was like the first game that felt like SOTN. I remember getting frustrated by all the backtracking and switching castles and poo poo but at least the gameplay is still pretty fun IMHO

I just felt like it was beating me over the head with dead ends. Like, there was a locked door right near the start. Not a ledge that needs a double jump, or a wall to slide under, but a loving locked door.

And the blue outline around your dude was pissing me off.

A common complaint was that Circle of the Moon was too dark especially with the non-backlit GBA so to fix it they put a bright blue outline around your sprite haha
