2035 A.D. The first solar eclipse of the new millennium dances across the dark skies when protagonist Soma Cruz and his friend Mina Hakuba trek to the summit of a mountain to view the event. Unfortunately for the two friends, they wander into the eclipse and soon stand outside Dracula’s castle. Although the head vampire was destroyed 36 years ago, a new terror appears to have taken residence at the dark lord’s domain. Without provocation, the two are attacked by skeletal warriors and a winged beast outside the daunting castle. With Mina wounded, Soma treks into the castle to discover the mysteries within, find his oppressor and along the way, collect some souls in order to escape Dracula's castle. As Soma begins the game, he’s armed with a simple knife which may be plugged into shuffling skeletal warriors and flitting bats. Progress further and new weapons may be acquired to battle undead legions and armored knights. One of the first new weapons is a long-spear which may be hurled at foes from a distance. Soma’s special ability is the absorption of souls of those he has slain and the acquisition of their unique powers or skills. Players may trade collected souls with other gamers through a Gameboy Link Cable.
