Good game; short and sweet. would recommend to true adventure fans.

So far, it´s good and entertaining. The puzzles are not complicated, and the history is intriguing.

This isn't the full experience. it's missing multiple important cutscenes and the entire UI and movement transition is totally different. why release this in this state??? i stopped half way through and played the full original version on gog.com! 100% recommend the GOG version for everyone, don't play this version

This is a crippled port of the Android/iPad version, missing a lot of content/puzzles and has worse graphics and video quality than the original PC release! Also has many more bugs. Don't buy it, unless the developer releases the original PC version as well (which run fine on current Windows systems). They have released the original PC versions on other game sites and promised to do so on Steam as well, so I can't …

this version is trash not only is it incomplete but it’s a cheap mobile port full of dumb puzzles and stripped content i seriously don’t know how it’s still not mentioned anywhere that this is the mobile version and not the full game this is straight up misleading to buyers they even put a trailer that doesn’t match the actual game content don’t buy it from here get it from gog instead that’s what i’m doing now …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Dracula: Resurrection was commercially successful. According to Index+, combined global sales of its computer and PlayStation releases had reached 200,000 units by mid-September 2000. In North America, the game was one of DreamCatcher Interactive's top titles for 2000 and made up 9% of the publisher's sales that year. PC Data reported 27,798 retail sales of Dracula's computer version in the region by the end of 2000, of which 6,012 were sold in December. GameSpy's Mark Asher wrote in March 2001 that the game was "selling well in the U.S. (doing about 100,000 copies) and doing better in Europe." PC Data recorded another 21,050 retail sales for the game's computer version during 2001, and…

Apparently that was originally the plan for Lords of Shadows. Though I probably wouldn't take the Dracula twist well if it was Simon. lol

The graphics are very dated but what do you expect from a game that was released 15 years ago.. The game play is your run of the mill point and click game, it's not the most difficult point and click game around, nor are the puzzles terribly difficult.... The story is fairly straight forward and appears to be a loosely based sequal of the Dracula books. Jonathon Harker makes his way to Translyvania to…

It's a fun, if short, Myst like adventure game with beautiful graphics and a intresting storyline that follows up on Bram Stoker's novel. However, these postives are for the CD version of the game. The steam version seems to be a bad port of the IOS version with over simplistc controls that are still somehow confusing, lots of cut videos (inculding, most unforgivably the intro video, witch is still in the trailer...) and what videos that still in the game are…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New blog post time! This week's game is Dracula: Crazy Vampire, a GBC game that is way more mundane than its name suggests. It offers a bit of novel roleplay in that you have suck blood to heal and avoid sunlight, but the level design is such a nightmare that it ruins the whole thing #blog #gaming
neutral · AI labelView post →Completed Belmont's Curse 100%. Very fun game, movement/combat feels really fluid especially once you unlock movement upgrades. Graham McTavish voicing Dracula again from the Netflix series was a treat. My ONLY gripe is the music isn't BAD, it's just not memorable (Bloody Tears was good though).
positive · AI labelView post →Get the GOG version of this port, this version is missing multiple STORY RELEVANT cut scenes and skips full entire puzzles. Go get GOG version. THIS GAME IS VERY FUN AND COOL AND GOOFY AND WEIRD PLEASE PLAY IT BUT GET THE GOG VERSION.
