Harmony of Dissonance is very okay. While I don't think this game has quite the same level of magic as SotN I still think it's a decent game to play through and easily surpasses the previous GBA entry.

+ Movement's pretty good
+ Essentially no grinding required
+ Spells are pretty fun to use, good amount of variety
+ Lots of bosses that are pretty fun to fight
+ Furniture "side quest" is a fun collectible challenge
+ Good enemy variety

~ The "two castle" concept is obviously lazy, but makes exploring a little bit more eventful
~ Merchants exist, but are kind of useless

- Music is awful
- Spells make the game a cake-walk
- Really spread-out fast travel points so getting to places is often a chore
- Specific "warp points" between the two castles are annoying
- I wasn't a huge fan of the ending--it felt very rushed
