Romancelvania is a hybrid of a platform game and a dating sim. The player, as a vampire, explores maps full of enemies and traps, while developing romances with NPCs, which helps him increase his skills.
Romancelvania is a 2.5D platform game with dating sim elements. The game was developed by The Deep End Games studio, the authors of Perception.
It is set in the style of a romantic comedy. The plot tells the story of a handsome vampire named Drac, who has spent the last hundred years in depression after a love disappointment, losing much of his former strength.
One day Death decides to engage the bloodsucker in his reality show, in which Drac will have to find a new chosen one (or chosen one) among the monsters living in Transylvania.
Romancelvania is a 2.5D platform game, which means the graphics is made in 3D, but the gameplay takes place in two dimensions. While playing, we traverse maps, avoid traps, collect items and fight enemies, including numerous bosses.
To this, elements of romance simulation have been added. During expeditions through Transylvania, the player will encounter 12 characters with whom he can start dating. The development of these relationships takes place through conversations, mini-games and the tightening of ties as we explore the world (e.g. by finding attractive places for a rendezvous), which not only advances the plot, but also affects the development of our hero's abilities.
All this romance is organized in the form of a TV show, where dramatic moments and sudden twists are given a premium. So the player is free to break up with his partners and seek the favor of others to please the audience and help himself to develop the hero.
The production has only a single-player mode.
Romancelvania features eye-pleasing 3D graphics made in a humorous cartoon style.

Game Ratings for Romancelvania Video Game.
COGconnected: 90 / 100 by Zane Wong
Romcancelvania has all the qualities of my ideal partner. I like the way it looks. Looks aren’t everything though; it’s also got it where it counts. It makes me laugh, uses puns, probably too much. It challenges me to grow as a person and improve my weapons often. When it comes down to it, the game is a Metroidvania and it’s dating-sim. The Deep End Games does both pretty darn well. Just like in the reality show, no matter your flavor of weird, Romancelvania’s got something for you.
Completexbox: 80 / 100 by Dan Boise
Romancelvania is easily one of the best Metroidvania style games of the last decade. It feels a bit like Castlevania with a dash of humor with its reality TV setting. Thankfully you’re able to explore outside the castle and each area is uniquely designed. While it is annoying not being able to see enemies more often than not, but it doesn’t deter the complete experience. Romancelvania is a must play.
Destructoid: 5 / 10 by Zoey Handley
An Exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit 'meh,' really.
