Fifty years have passed since Simon Belmont vanquished the curse of Dracula.

Fate has dictated that Juste Belmont, blood descendant of the Belmont Family, hunt for the relics of Dracula.

One day, Juste's best friend, Maxim, who had set out on a training expedition two years earlier, returned unexpectedly... his body covered with wounds.

He informs Juste that Lydie, a childhood friend whom they both deeply care about, has been kidnapped.

Maxim has completely lost his memory in his training away from home, and only has vague images of the kidnapping.

Ignoring his bodily injuries, Maxim leads Juste to the place where he believes Lydie is being held captive.

Passing through thick fog, the two men happened upon a castle undocumented on any map. Could this be the fabled Dracula's castle?

Standing solemnly in the night, this forbidding castle welcomes its unexpected guests as the moonlight shines upon it...

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is Konami's follow-up to Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. However, this simple statement doesn't tell the whole story: As far as the trademark, the division KCEK (which created Circle of the Moon and the two N64 titles) was out of the loop, victim to consolidation, and the series' fate was now controlled by KCET and specifically by the familiar Koji Igarashi and team.

So the creators of Symphony of the Night bring you Harmony of Dissonance, another free-roaming adventure-RPG that is directly in line with Circle of the Moon's play-style but different in terms of philosophy. Your mission is to take control of Juste Belmont, the grandfather of Simon, and scour thirteen castle sections--each filled with waves of minor enemies, devilish traps, and boss creatures--to locate and save the mysteriously abducted Lydie Erlanger. If certain conditions are met before the rescue, your mission will continue thereafter and unfold into something more grand. Juste, in basic form, takes to the action with his Vampire Killer whip and six sub-weapons. Though, his power will grow considerably as he gain levels and his statistics increase therein; as he collects whip extensions and dozens of armor types; as he puts to use relics that supply him the usual accessibility moves; and as he utilizes the "Spell Fusion" system, which affords him thirty powerful sub-weapon-based attacks.

After clearing the game for the best of three endings, some new options will open: (1) You can play through again in a "difficult" mode. (2) You can play as Maxim, in a unique mission. (3) You will unlock the "Boss Rush" mode, a three-level gauntlet challenge which pits you against all of the game's bosses; as a bonus to this feature, you can actually play through the mode with Simon Belmont. And (4) you can access a sound test.

Japanese Version
Castlevania: Double Pack's version of Harmony of Dissonance has to it some strange omissions and changes:
- In the GBA version, the enemy Pike Master is known to drop both the Gold Headband and the Floating Boots; in the Double Pack version, Pike Master doesn't drop the Gold Headband and in its place relinquishes only 400 gold.
- Changed, also, is the hint card that mentions the Summoning Tome, which is instead called the "Black Scroll."
- Rather than dropping the Medusa Pendant, Gold Medusa drops 100 gold.
- The Man Eater, which once dropped the Mirror Pendant, now instead drops Turquoise. (Thanks to Insanitist for this information.)

Japanese Version
- As usual, the differences between the Japanese and U.S. versions all revolve around the deviations of certain names. For instance: Our Maxim Kischine is known in Japan as Maxim Kishin. Also, the name of the bullet-tip extension for Juste's whip, which allows it to spew fireballs, is instead named for Christopher Belmont--"Christopher's Soul," to be exact, since that was more or less the character's trademark. And, of course, Juste's last name is "Belmondo," as it always is in the case of the Belmont family in Japan.
- Eleven areas in the Japanese version feature different names. The Wailing Way is called "The Approach to Deplore." The Castle Top Floor is called "Castle Tower." The Chapel of Dissonance is called "Chapel of a Heretic." The Sky Walkway is called "Corridor in the Air." The Shrine of the Apostates is called "Heretic's Grave." The Luminous Cavern is called "Moss-Grown Cave." And the Aqueduct of Dragons is called "Waterway of Aquatic." The four others are merely reciprocal: The Marble Corridor is "Corridor of Marble." The Castle Treasury is "Castle's Treasury." The Skeleton Cave is "Cave of Skeletons." And the Clock Tower is "Clockwork Tower." (Thanks to ReyVGM for this information.)
- There are no mechanical or graphical differences between the games except for maybe slight palette alterations.

Castlevania Double Pack
The following information is credited to The Cutting Room Floor:
- Hint Card 5 refers to the Summoning Tome as a "Black Scroll" rather than a book.
- Gold Medusa heads drop 100 gold rather than the Medusa Pendant item.
- Man Eaters drop Turquoise jewels rather than the Mirror Pendant item.
- Pike Masters drop 400 gold rather than the Gold Headband item (though, they still drop Floating Boots).
- The bestiary refers to Death's second form as "Death Lv2," where in the original its name is simply "Death."
