About this game

□Story

In medieval Europe, the legend of Dracula is told in frightened whispers in the small country of Transylvania.

Once every century, the prayers of those with evil in their hearts shall resurrect the Dark Lord Dracula. Each time he returns, his dark powers grow stronger than the last.

One night there was a magnificent carnival being held in the bustling city. That night marked the 100th year anniversary of Dracula’s defeat at the hands of the hero Christopher Belmont.

Suddenly, the town was enveloped by dark storm clouds and a bolt of lightning rained down, signaling that Count Dracula and his evil ambitions had returned to the world yet again.

With the Belmont blood running though his veins, the young Vampire Hunter Simon knew that only he could face this evil. Taking up the whip enchanted with miraculous power given to him by his father, Simon hastened towards Dracula’s castle on his own.

It's ok. My first post before I revised was put as terrible. It played crazy fast with bad audio glitching. Reset the game and phone and now its fine. Playing the Fold 7 puts it in a small window when you open the screen. you manually have to full screen the emulation to get a decent screen size. There is slight audio lag but ehh. It kind of follows suit to the intended lag of your whip and jump that Konami intended for this game. so it ok. . . Just OK.

Weak port. No video scaling options, one save slot that takes a full second to save, broken controller support, a "manual" that just lists the controls... the only good thing I can say is that the emulation itself is perfect - a feat 30 years ago, but far from impressive today. For the 40th anniversary I expected more. If you told me this was vibe-coded by an intern in a day, I'd believe you. Any compilation released before now is a better choice.

This was a pleasant surprise! It's awesome to have this version of Castlevania on mobile. I have a few things for the developer to consider for a future update. While it does have partial controller support, the jump or A button on my controller does not register and also, please make the screen bigger. I am a fan of Castlevania for these whole 40 years and my eyesight is not as good as it used to be! Lol. Fangs for the memories! 🧛🏻
