The game also featured alternate endings, with Simon's survival depending on how quickly the player finished the game.īecause audiences were put off by the vastly different gameplay seen in Simon's Quest, the next game, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, returned to the linear platformer style of the first game. Simon's Quest has attracted some degree of hatred, thanks in no small part to a famous review by video game reviewer and comedian James Rolfe, AKA the Angry Video Game Nerd, but is still considered decent by most in spite of its flaws (Rolfe himself has stated he enjoyed the game and played up his issues with it for the sake of comedy). Indeed, the game can even be considered a prototypical Metroidvania type game. While still involving platforming, the game instead played like an adventure game where Simon had to gather items and clues from nervous and occasionally untrustworthy villagers in order to find Dracula's remains and destroy them so as to undo a curse Dracula put upon Simon during their battle. The game's 1988 sequel, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, went in a vastly different direction. Others include Haunted Castle, an immensely difficult arcade interpretation of the game, and a remaster of the original game for the obscure Sharp X68000 console, which was later released in English alongside an arranged version for the Sony Playstation as Castlevania Chronicles.

The first game has been remade and its story retold in many fashions, most notably in the Super Nintendo game Super Castlevania IV which, despite its English manual attempting to brand it a sequel, was merely a retelling of Simon's story. While that game had a similar story, it played considerably differently to its more famous NES cousin. The NES version was made in tandem with a version of the game for the MSX2 computer, localized in Europe as Vampire Killer.

The series began in 1986, with the release of the first game, Castlevania/ Akumajō Dracula for the Nintendo Entertainment System, a linear platformer that put players in the role of Simon Belmont, a vampire hunter wielding the sacred whip called "Vampire Killer" setting out to vanquish the evil Dracula. While most games put the players in the role of a member of the Belmont clan of vampire hunters, others star either unrelated parties seeking Dracula's end for their own reasons, with a select few even involving Dracula's own son. One of Konami's longest running video game franchises, the Castlevania series tells many stories of generations of vampire hunters as they combat the forces of evil led by the demonic vampire lord, Count Vlad Tepes Dracula.
