Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance may have some huge problems. Still a truly fantastic Castlevania game. The team wanted to recreate Castlevania: Symphony of the Night onto Game Boy Advance. Which is exactly why it's strikingly similar to that Castlevania game. You still get two massive castles to explore. Except you are force to explore both of them at the same time. This is due to two souls fighting over one body concept. One castle is in the world of the living with the other castle in the spirit world. Just like Symphony of the Night, there's plenty notable changes between the two castles. Thus getting stuck or simply lost is a huge problem. The merchant is in several locations instead of one set location. Plus the spell books can easily become overpowered. You can stock up 99 of every time especially health items. In virtually everyway possible way a surprisingly easy Castlevania game. It's even easier than Super Castlevania IV. You get a huge lineup of bosses between the two castles. You can play as Maxim that has a triple jump with a few moves exclusive to him. Unfortunately they failed to mention you have to defeat the bosses to unlock the final boss fight. Boss Rush mode is easily the best mode in the entire game. Partly due to a code to play as classic Simon Belmont. But also you can play as Juste and Maxim in this mode. Difficulty is more or less how many bosses you wanna face that's it. The true final boss is way too easy even without the other stuff I mentioned. Simply get right behind him and keep attacking to win that's it. I should also mention the soundtrack isn't perfect. Parts of the art style works while character models seems a bit out of place. Technically speaking this is a sequel to Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest. Thankfully this is way better than that. Despite the problems I still really enjoyed this Castlevania game.
Breath of FireRecognized by Capcom as their first traditional role-playing video game, Breath of Fire would set the precedent for future entries in the series, and features character designs by company head of development Keiji Inafune, as well as music by members of Capcom's in-house sound team Alph Lyla. In 2001, the game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance handheld system with new save features and minor graphical enhancements, with the English version being released in Europe for the first time.
Set in a fantasy world, Breath of Fire follows the journey of a boy named Ryu, one of the last surviving members of an ancient race with the ability to transform into mighty dragons, as he searches the world for his sister. During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess. The game experienced mostly positive reception upon release, and was followed by a direct sequel, Breath of Fire II, in 1994.Action Fantasy

Eternal SonataEternal Sonata is a role-playing video game developed by tri-Crescendo and published by Namco Bandai Games.
The game is centered on the Polish romantic pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 39. The story envisions a fictional world dreamed by Chopin during his last hours that is influenced by Chopin's life and music, and in which he himself is a playable character, among others. The game's battle system centers on musical elements and character-unique special attacks. Light and darkness play a part in the appearance and abilities of enemies on the battlefield, as well as the types of magic that can be cast.
The game features a selection of Chopin's compositions played by pianist Stanislav Bunin, though the original compositions were composed and arranged by Motoi Sakuraba. It is notable for its use of classical piano pieces, educational cutscenes featuring real paintings and photographs (in contrast to the cel-shading graphics of the game) and lush landscape design.Open world
