About The Game

Enter at your own risk! If you think it’s scary on the outside, wait till you see the basement.

You’re in for the longest night of your life. Ghosts, goblins, demons, wolves, bats – creatures lurking around every corner. The further you delve into the castle, the worse they get... Better explore every nook and cranny - it's your only chance of finding a weapon or two. You’re gonna need ’em. Because when you finally meet the Count, you know he’ll be going for the jugular. So keep your courage up and your stake sharp...and say your prayers.

Castlevania marked the beginning of Konami’s world famous and critically-acclaimed vampire hunter series.
