News: Castlevania makes the jump to the App Store in a puzzling new game.
Konami has announced that the Castlevania series will be making the jump to the iPhone/iPod Touch, but not in the way you'd think. Instead of a traditional Castlevania side-scroller, the publisher is working on a puzzle-RPG titled Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night.
From the game's description, it's likely that Castlevania Puzzle has been heavily influenced by Capcom's Puzzle Fighter:
A first in the Castlevania series, Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night will employ a unique style of puzzle-RPG, allowing players to take on the role of Alucard, the son of Dracula. Players will also have the option to play as or against characters directly from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Developed exclusively for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night drops players inside the walls of Dracula's castle challenging them to solve puzzles in order to provide weapons and spells to aid players in their quest.
No release date was announced, other than "soon", which is exactly when we hope to have more on Castlevania Puzzle.
