The player controls Mick, a young vampire hunter out to destroy five vampires in each stage before proceeding to the next. Everything is out to stop Mick from completing this tasks and making his way out of the mansion. The player has to punch, or jump on, his enemies to defeat them. Arrows will be flying from either direction and will attempt to hit Mick on the head, and he must either duck or jump on them for extra points. Players can jump or touch lights to freeze everything on screen for a few seconds. Rather than punching, the player can collect a sword on the lower level by jumping on it as it flies past him.

This feels like a reskinned Alex Kidd x The Little Vampire game that made it to market after losing the licensing rights.

Juego de acción en el que tienes que ir recorriendo diferentes mansiones y derrotando vampiros para recoger gemas.

De entrada es algo desconcertante ya que te sueltan en mitad de la vorágine de enemigos con la única instrucción de que encuentres llaves y elimines a los cinco Dráculas. Una vez superas el primer shock, a base de ensayo y error empiezas a descubrir cómo interactúas con los objetos de la mansión y a entender las diferentes mecánicas de los enemigos. Es en este punto cuando el juego cambia totalmente y se trasforma en una experiencia bastante accesible, en gran parte gracias a no morir de un solo golpe, y realmente interesante para la época.

Strange and challenging, but pretty fun. There's a whole lot going on at once but you're given plenty of health to deal with it, plus refills with every vampire kill. It's a decent little game.
