Play Castlevania DX Online

Castlevania DX, released for the Game Boy Color in 2000 by Konami, was a colorized remake of the original Game Boy title. It arrived late in the handheld's life, offering a familiar gothic adventure with a richer visual palette than its monochrome predecessor.

You control a vampire hunter navigating a series of interconnected rooms, whipping candles for hearts and power-ups while fighting skeletons, bats, and other creatures. The goal is to defeat Dracula by progressing through the castle, using sub-weapons like axes and holy water to manage crowds and bosses. The game retains the deliberate, sometimes punishing platforming of the series, with enemy knockback often sending you into pits. It feels tense and methodical, demanding careful jumps and strategic weapon use.
