If you’re a fan of NES-era, classic Castlevania, The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest might be a game to watch. Judging by the trailer and the synopsis, it’s both a parody and an homage to the NES Castlevania trilogy: Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, and Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. It’s being developed for all current consoles and PC for release in 2025.
The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest is a parody/homage side-scrolling platformer that immerses players in an ominous 8-bit world. The titular hero named Simon Quest has just arrived in Transylvania only to discover his vampire hunting rival, Stan Helsing, has already slain the evil Count Dracula. In order to reclaim the glory that should be his, he journeys across Wallachia to gather what he needs to resurrect the dark count piece by piece and kick his ass himself!
Sequence Breaking Encouraged!
In both the overworld and in mansions, there are plenty of alternate pathways (and choices) you can make. You may think every mansion has a linear route, but you’ll find there are other paths you can take to clear them! For those adventurous enough to seek an unorthodox journey in the overworld, you can even try taking on later mansions early. In fact, doing so might even yield you a different ending…
