Brings what grabs you about Castlevania: Dracula X: jumping and platforming, melee combat with weapons or fists as well as a fantasy setting.

You take on Dracula's estate as Simon Belmont, lashing your whip through classic gothic stages alone against the resurrected Count and his minions. Precise jumps, sub-weapons and unforgiving enemy placement make every mistake count.

Slain: Back from Hell

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A heavy-metal-flavored pixel-art action platformer where an undead warrior hacks through gory fantasy levels to a thundering metal soundtrack. The relaunch reworked the combat after a rough original release.

Haunted Castle

Challenging difficulty

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

BloodRayne: Betrayal

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutal 2D hack-and-slash platformer with detailed HD sprites, gory combat and a steep difficulty curve. You play the dhampir Rayne, carving through a gothic world with precise melee and jumping challenges.

Momodora III

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D pixel-art action platformer where you play the priestess Momo through mostly linear levels, collecting items and uncovering secrets. It relies on quick dodging and tough boss fights, and you don't need to know the earlier games.

Wallachia: Reign of Dracula

Jumping and platforming

Wallachia is a frantic action platformer where you play a princess fighting through brutal battles with spear, bow, or sword. Survival depends on your skill, and you must trust no one on the deadly journey to reclaim your kingdom.
