A big innovation in Akumajou Densetsu is the ability to play other characters, but you can only take one companion with you. So, now there are four characters to choose from: Trevor Belmont, Grant Danasty (acrobat), Sif Belnades (young sorceress), Alucard (son of Dracula and father of Trevor). Each of the heroes has different abilities, unique weapons and items.
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse is a prequel to the first part of the Castlevania series, which takes place two centuries before the events of the original game. Trevor Belmont, the ancestor of Simon Belmont, becomes the main character. In 1476, Count Dracula appears in Europe, and the Belmont family, exiles from Wallachia and vampire hunters, are again called upon to fight the impending threat.

Castlevania III again returns to the gameplay of the first part, but now the game has a non-linear plot. In several places, the player will have to make a choice - which way to go next, which will affect the final ending of the game.
The game has two main paths that last for fifteen levels, some of which are optional. Each line takes nine levels (plus one - optional). The upper path passes through the lake to the main bridge and the gates of Dracula's castle, the lower path passes through underground tunnels and caves. In addition, the lower path has its own small story fork. Both paths converge again in the main hall of the castle.
As in the first part, after beating the game, a Hard Mod is provided, you will start the game again, but with increased difficulty. Enemies will become stronger, instead of the heads of the Medusa, skulls will fly randomly moving through the air. In this case, all enemies on contact will take more energy from you.
