★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

May be the worst Mobile port I've ever played. 2/3rds of the screen is taken up by the on-screen controls and it can't be changed at all, nor does it fully detect my gamepad. The only reason to play this would be if you can't set up any of the other options we've had for 25 years.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Excellent Bring More Classics! Great Retro Games should be available in this format.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Store description

□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. □Features The deep rich Castlevania history that began with this original game. The fated confrontation between Dracula and unforgettable action hero Simon Belmont that played out with a horrific twist groundbreaking for its time. The dark vast world of Castlevania that canonized the iconic whip-wielding character moves of Simon Belmont and the classic music tracks. Intense hard-to-beat action platformer that inspired a long-running and beloved franchise. Direct port of the original title with visual touchpad and playable offline. □ Important Notes ・The game will remain playable after its availability on the App Store ends. ・Please see the Terms of Use (Castlevania) available within the app before playing.
