List of vampire related games


















It seems like a no-brainer to include this one, given one of Castlevania's most prominent figures, Koji Igarashi, helms the studio behind it. But really, there's more to this connection than the developer himself. In fact, Bloodstained really does tap into its Gothic aura as well as the general gameplay experience.

At the same time, there's a similar feeling of grandiosity and tension throughout this 7-hour journey. Tossing two Bloodstained games in one list may raise an eyebrow or two.

Still, it would seem warranted given just how distinct each example is. And those who fancy some classic Castlevania in particular need look no further than this delightful romp. Developer Inti Creates nails it in most respects regarding their homage to retro Konami greatness. From the tight mechanics to the pummeling of action and tough baddies, this one really stays true to old-school Castlevania.
