Why tonight?

  • It goes hard on violence and frights — not a wind-down.
  • One of the best-reviewed games Cue holds.

The story

Having been awoken from his eternal slumber by the reappearance of Castlevania, Alucard must once again face the evil minions of darkness. Use your vampiric powers, along with weapons, potions, and other magical relics to change the tide of battle. A mixture of platform and role-playing action with many hidden areas and secrets. Can you discover them all?
