Vampire Hunter D is based on the anime titled Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust , which, in its turn, is based on the novel Vampire Hunter D: Demon Deathchase by Hideyuki Kikuchi . You play as D, a half-human / half-vampire whose sole mission in life is to hunt down and kill vampires. The setting is not the distant medieval past, nor is it the mid-19th century, instead D's adventures are set in the far-distant future, when humanity has nearly killed itself off by endless wars. Rising from the scorched earth and assuming power in this desolate era are the timeless vampires. They established a feudal system where they ruled over humans as nobles in Europe ruled over their peasants. But after thousands of years the Vampires' power waned and humans revolted against their lords, and thus the class of Vampire Hunters were born.
In this particular story, D is employed by a rich family to retrieve their daughter from the vampire who kidnapped her. He is not the only one trying to free her; a rival group of vampire hunters, the Marcus Brothers, are after the daughter and the bounty, regarding D as a rival. The Vampire Hunter D must enter Castle Chaith, battle the Vampire Lord, the minions that inhabit the castle, and a hidden evil, to save the girl and collect his bounty.
The action in Vampire Hunter D plays like the early Resident Evil games. There are pre-rendered backgrounds and all the characters are animated in 3D. Players utilize D's signature weapon, his massive long sword, as well as his special vampire powers (which comprise healing, offensive, and defensive powers), to battle the hordes of evil creatures that live in the hallways and chambers of the daemonic Castle Chaith. You must solve puzzles, unlock doors, and retrieve key items to progress into the depths and heights of the castle, ultimately reaching and revealing the true evil power pulling the strings of this macabre story.
Vampire Hunter D was released on PlayStation on 25 September 2000. The game belongs to the Action & Adventure genre.

The Story
12090 a.d. - 10,000 years have passed since vampires have reigned over the world. Now, they are dying as a species. The human race is beginning to regain their power after many long years of darkness.
However, there are still a few vampires that live in the remote regions and continue their gruesome attacks on humans. Such actions have brought about the hiring of bounty hunters to eliminate them. Among these hunters are the Dunpeals. They are a race born of a human and a vampire and are considered to be the best.
John Elbourne, a wealthy village man, whose daughter has been kidnapped by the vampire, Meier Link, has hired bounty hunters to find and return her. Of these bounty hunters is a Dunpeal talked of as having extraordinary skills. His name is D.
Your Mission
Your job as D is to safely rescue John Elbourne's kidnapped daughter, Charlotte, from the clutches of Meier Link. As advance money, $500,000 has been supplied.
Upon the safe return of Charlotte, you will receive another $2,000,000. If you are too late and she has been converted to vampirism, you are to save her from her awful fate without her suffering.
