Bram Stoker's Dracula

released on Sep 01, 1993

Bram Stoker's Dracula is game loosely based on the 1992 film of the same name. It was released simultaneously for multiple consoles and while the plot remains largely the same, there are differing styles of gameplay and graphics across platforms. This version of Bram Stoker's Dracula is a side-scrolling platforming action game where you play as the young lawyer named Jonathan Harker. Harker must free himself from Count Dracula's captivity, follow him to London, and end his reign of terror. Throughout the levels, Abraham Van Helsing will help Jonathan in his quest by providing advanced weapons. The game includes six different stages (each having between a number of areas, except for the final stage which only has one area) and fights various bosses, such as Lucy Westenra as a vampiress, Count Dracula's three brides, Dracula's coach driver, Dracula's fire-breathing dragon, Renfield, and even Dracula himself in multiple forms, such as his bat form, his young form, his evil wolf form and finally his knight form.

The graphics look like placeholders, the animation almost non-existent, the collision detection is horrendous, your character slides like he's on ice, the boss battles are pathetically easy, the levels are confusing (What is the point of Van Helsing?) and the less said about the liberties taken with the story the better. tl;dr The game feels like an unfinished mess.

Was a psychological experience. Thank you Fred Fuchs.

I beat it in the first boss, and you can't tell me otherwise.

Dogshit. Far too few invincibility frames, far too much offscreen bullshit, bad and confusing stage design, HORRIBLY grating sfx, and a lack of any charm or interesting stuff to carry it a bit higher. Only remembered for "Fred Fuchs" in the credits nowadays, and that's all it really deserves. Maybe not even that because he was part of the Dracula film crew and not this game.

Tfw you're a kid and your older cousin has a snes with Bram Stoker's Dracula, but no Castlevania.
