The iconic and legendary actor Bela Lugosi has been resurrected to once again take on his most famous role in a brand-new, officially licensed “classicvania” horror platformer.
A tribute to retro horror side-scrollers and the classic monster films that inspired them, Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi has launched on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S for £12.99.
Prepare to battle your way through the monster-plagued countryside, evade deadly traps, and hunt down the legendary vampire himself in a game that brings a true icon to the video game realm for the first time.
Bela Lugosi Returns as Dracula
In a fantastic partnership with Lugosi Enterprises, developer Tezcatek has been honoured to bring the one and only Bela Lugosi into the video game realm for the first time in an officially licensed release.
His likeness returns to the role of Prince Dracula, perfectly fitting for a style of game that has long been associated with the horror classics.
The story is set in Transylvania, 1451. The plague of Dracula’s army continues to spread across the land, growing stronger with each victim it claims. If Dracula is not stopped, he will bring everlasting night to the world. It is up to two brave champions to answer the call and bring divine justice to Dracula and his minions.
A Symphony of Whips and Fire
You will not be fighting alone. You can choose to play as one of two distinct heroes:
- Abbot Dorin: A warrior monk and leader of the Kelemen Monastery.
- Irina Dracul: A powerful vampire, pyromancer, and ancestor of Prince Dracula himself.
This is a classic 2D horror platforming experience. You will need to battle your way through legions of iconic monsters, including zombies, vampires, werewolves, and ghosts, as you make your way through the horrors of the Borgo Pass to the gates of the ancient Castle Dracula, where the real nightmare begins.
