Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

A platformer about Trevor Belmont and his allies climbing toward Dracula's castle.

Konami · 4–7 hrs

Difficulty

A branching campaign with partners who rewrite the route. Trevor is the whip you know; Grant climbs; Sypha deletes crowds; Alucard turns into mist. The hard part is not Dracula — it is picking a path and living with the spirit gauge.

Tips

Start here
Grant first, Sypha for the clock tower
Grant's stab and wall-climb make early vertical stages honest. Swap to Sypha before the clock tower and later magic-weak bosses. Don't carry both if you still miss Trevor's whip arc.
Secrets
Alucard is behind a fork
Take the path through the swamp and the sunken ruins to recruit Alucard. His bat form skips whole shafts. The worst ending is skipping partners and whipping Dracula with a raw Trevor.
