Game Overview
As in countless other games your quest is the rescue of your lovely mistress, Mina Murray. You are the strapping Jonathan Harker and you must slash and hack your way through the levels using rocks, axes and torches. To get a better view of the action you can look up and down and use a jumping smash to fall through ledges and unusual rock floors. You start the game with 4 lives and you can collect others on the way as well as continues. Each section has a set time allotted in which you must complete the level. Clock tokens can be found which add 20 extra seconds to the timer and which are crucial in the last level.
The graphics and game play are very good as well as the bosses and sub bosses. There are a lot of secret areas in this game like in Metroid where you can walk and leap through certain walls. It is not noted in the instructions but there are lamps that you can touch which will set you back at that point if you lose your life. This saves you the chore of starting over at the beginning of the level. There are also wall switches that you must activate that lower platforms. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a very enjoyable game and a fitting last saga for Dracula.

Once you've traversed the forest, you enter Castle Dracula, where you battle evil of all shapes and sizes, including bog creatures, Dracula's mesmerizing brides and the Count himself — as a vampire bat. 3-D is used to good effect in Castle Dracula; the room rotates as you enter and exit. From the Castle, your quest continues to Hillingham Estate and Carfax Abbey, then on to the final battle with Dracula.
Defeating the Undead
Harker must rely on his wits and a combination of punches and kicks to defeat the undead. He has no weapons. He can jump forward, backward and straight upward. His punches are either a single-arm bash or a one-two punch using both hands. The speed of your taps on Button B determines the punch you select. Harker also has two kicks. Tap the kick button to execute a solid, punt-like kick, but tap the button quickly, and he'll deliver a vicious roundhouse.
Dracula delivers great arcade/action gaming in a format that takes advantage of the CD's strengths, though the game's play controls could be a little tighter. With first-rate graphics and sound, Dracula on the CD shows you what is possible at The Next Level.
