Oct 29, 2020 · Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is a solid, old-school experience. The decision to make this more of a shooter than a faithful Castlevania-style clone can be initially jarring, but it feels natural thanks to some excellent arrowplay and good boss fights.

The best way I can explain Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is to first compare it to Fate/Apocrypha. At one point in that anime, they introduce Vlad Tepes, AKA Dracula. Being a huge fan of Castlevania, I immediately conjured images of bat wings, wolves, and undead minions. At first, I was sad to realize this Vlad was based on the human Impaler. Even th...
Story-wise, Wallachia: Reign of Draculais simple yet forthright. You play Elcin, a young woman whose parents were murdered by Dracula, while her brother Enthu was kidnapped by him. She’s rescued from her despair by an old, wise man named Christian, who takes her in and trains her on how to fight back. Several years later, Elcin is directed by the s...
I found the controls in Wallachia to work quite competently. Though the game is inspired by Castlevania, it also was influenced by other classic series.

That said, there’s a bit more to the combat. Since you’re traveling with fellow warriors, it stands to reason you can call on their help. Unlike the arrow upgrades, you’ll always have access to your entire team of helpers, and can even upgrade their abilities on a whim. The only downside is upgraded abilities cost far more black orbs to activate, b...
Visually the game is attractive, if not overly ambitious. Again, it looks a lot like a SNES game, with all the provisos that entails.

Musically, I was more impressed. T...
While I enjoyed my time with Wallachia: Reign of Dracula, it’s not a perfect game. For one thing, it’s pretty challenging. Foes will fully take advantage of your surprise, and love to corner you. You’ll need to memorize stage layouts to really have the best chance at success. Cause even though I technically beat the game in under an hour on Normal,...

Nov 15, 2020 · Wallachia: Reign Of Dracula Review £12.99. 3. Summary. Wallachia sticks to the 16-bit gaming template – warts and all – to deliver a fun ride for fans of retro 2D scrolling adventures. Repetition may limit the appeal however; this is a Dracula story that perhaps lacks bite.
