BUILD

Manage the castle by expanding it, then build and unlock new rooms granting new mechanics to explore. The Alchemist will allow you to equip Dracula with mystical tools, unlock the bat cave to improve Dracula's Mist Form. The more you expand, the more your labour force can grow. You'll need to grow your army of servants in order to accumulate enough soil to sail to England on the Demeter.

EXPLORE

Travel Transylvania by night but watch out for Van Helsing. Stalk the towns of Transylvania, on the hunt for fresh blood, or attempt to overwhelm them to gain powerful bonuses. Feast, recruit laborers or "invite" a guest to the castle, the choice is yours. You'll need to entrap Jonathan Harker to fulfill Dracula's dark designs.

CUSTOMIZE

Grow Dracula's power the way you want to. Dracula possesses different attributes such as Power, Cunning, Speed, Charm and Magick. Choose which ones to train and equip the right relics for your build. Build new monsters at the Alchemist's Lab utilising recipes found in the Necronomicon! Craft or acquire new gear throughout your adventure.

FIGHT

Engage angry mobs, town militia and even dedicated vampire hunters in exciting tactical turn-based combat. Leverage Dracula's powerful abilities and forms to outwit and overwhelm the enemy. The spoils of battle are yours! Hand over curios and materiel to the Castle Alchemist to craft new items and raise new monsters to join Dracula's dark menagerie.

QUEST

Follow the early plot of Bram Stoker's masterpiece, the main goal centers around Jonathan Harker, Van Helsing and the trip to Carfax Abbey in England; but plenty needs doing in the dark corners of Transylvania. Engage in various side-quests given to you by Death and other denizens of the castle as you work on building up Dracula's regional power.
