intriguing ‘Tactical Soul’ mechanic which allows hero Soma to absorb the souls of enemies and then use them to enhance his own powers. Today, this GBA classic is pricey, with a cart of the European version costing around the £35 mark. Complete is even more expensive, with prices ranging from £60 to £140. Although the Japanese version sold pretty poorly it’s relatively easy to source and goes for around £68. The American version is similarly priced. Alternatively you can buy a European double pack which includes Harmony Of Dissonance for £40 to £95.
