Castlevania: Circle of the Moon,[a] titled Castlevania in PAL regions, is a 2001 action role-playing game developed and published by Konami as a launch title for the Game Boy Advance. Part of the Castlevania video game series, the game follows a vampire hunter named Nathan Graves as he attempts to rescue his mentor from the clutches of Dracula. The events of its plot were retconned by former Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi, a move which was met with some criticism.
Circle of the Moon sold one million copies worldwide and received critical acclaim, with praise for its world design, mechanics, and scope, while some criticized the dark visuals.
The game was re-released as part of the Castlevania Advance Collection on September 23, 2021, for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. It was bundled alongside Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and Castlevania: Dracula X.[3]
