Migami Games mixed together a little inspiration from Castlevania and a little more from Contra to help create Wallachia: Reign of Dracula, which is now available to download for the PC through Steam. The side-scroller tries to bypass the “typical vampire myths,” but Dracula still looks very hard to kill in the Launch Trailer embedded above:
Wallachia: Reign of Dracula, is an epic adventure in the land of horror. The year is 1462. Prince Vlad Dracula is six bloody years into his second reign. After losing the throne once before in 1448, Dracula vowed not to let it happen again. After years of exile, he regained power in 1456 and started purging the land of anyone who might oppose him.
Wallachia is an insane action platformer depicting a world of ferocious fights. With spears, arrows, or sword in hand, your survival depends on your ability to fight. Trust no one, embody the Princess, and enter a deadly journey to claim your kingdom back.
Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is also currently in development for the Switch, and it’ll be available for Nintendo’s newest console at a later date.
