Juste Belmont and his friend Maxim are on a mission to save their friend Lydie from the newly resurrected Dracula's Castle. The game follows another Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance in the action/RPG style, similar to previous Castlevania games like Symphony of the Night and Circle of the Moon.
The gameplay revolves around Juste's ability to dash at will, use subweapons such as the axe and holy water, and combine them with magic tomes to increase their power and properties. He can also equip various armor and accessories, modify his Vampire Killer whip with different tips, and even decorate rooms in the castle as an optional side quest.
