Aria is good, better than HOD for sure and the soul system made the game a lot more fun.

but what i liked about COM is how fucking hard it is, and most if not all IGA Castlevania games are easy.

That is true, CotM was a good challenge. I still havent beaten the last boss  :( Portrait was a good step up from DoS, though. Still not tough enough. It was pretty easy to grind for New York Steaks iirc

I bought Portrait but i didn't play it much, the whole switching characters thing wasn't that impressive to me, i will play it some other time.

and you need to grind more and get some items.

it's really tough to get items with no shop around.

Yeah, circle of the Moon is pretty hard.

I never bothered to grind for items in Castlevania games, that was just too boring for me. Although I did grind for a few souls in Aria and Dawn of Sorrow, now that I think of it.

CoM is truly awesome. Got it with my GBA. Unfortunately, I had to play it next to a 100 watt lamp.
