Rating information

Violence

Consumer advice

This game has received a PEGI 16 because it features scenes of bloody violence in an arcade setting. Not suitable for persons under 16 years of age.

Brief outline

Action role-playing game set in late 15th century Europe, which has fallen into chaos due to supernatural forces. Following Dracula’s defeat in 1476, humanity believed the Dark Lord to be destroyed. However, Dracula’s resurrection is once again set into motion. As the world approaches another catastrophe, Trevor Belmont, a legendary vampire hunter, and his daughter Rose Belmont infiltrate the city to stop the resurrection ritual and prevent Dracula’s return.

Content-specific issues

This game contains depictions of arcade-style action showing violence containing blood. Throughout the game, the player will battle against a range of human and fantasy enemies. Flashes of light are seen on impact, and these are often accompanied by splashes of blood. Number damage is also seen, and a health bar reduces at the bottom of the screen. Some enemies, when defeated, break into pieces and disappear. When the player is hit, blood sprays will often be seen alongside flashes of light and number damage, and the player’s character is heard groaning in pain. If the player loses all of their health during the game, their character will fall to the ground as a splash of blood fills the screen. The player is then returned to their last save point.

Other issues

Some disturbing images are seen throughout the game, such as still images of characters with blood on their bodies or weapons. Corpses are often seen hanging by nooses from trees in the background. There is an eery atmosphere throughout the game and the designs of some characters may be scary to younger players. There is an area in the game which is set in the wine cellar. Bottles and barrels are seen in the background, but the player is not able to interact with or consume these substances.
