★★★★★ we can absolutely lose some outside the world pixels to place our thumbs for controlling the character; other emulation platforms allow this too.

★★★★★ I know it's free but a little more effort could have gone into this Konami.
Slow, laggy, battery2%

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Touch controls are not great for this kind of game but its free.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

is there NES version of Castlevania

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

awesome

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

One of the best classic game ever just controls are trash on touch screen. Thank you for free Game.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

this is a pretty poor execution. no full screen option, so tiny on most modern handhelds, except maybe a foldable. the only quality of life improvement is save states, thats it. They could have done so much more for a castlevania 40th. Its free right now, so thats about the only good thing about it. if you've never played it, its this or buying the collection on any console, for a legit copy.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026

I hate that I have to give 1 star to this beloved classic! But Konami was very lazy with this version! It has a noticeable input lag that does not exist on the original NES hardware or other ports.

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.
