Story
★★★★★
"Classic"
A gothic universe peopled with cartoon monsters, the game blends horror and humour in an elastic, colourful line. Exuberant animation and unbridled character design give every creature an unforgettable presence. This graphic madness, baroque and jubilant, remains one of Capcom's finest 2D signatures.

"From the very first seconds"
An anthology gathering the entries of Capcom's most flamboyant 2D versus, peopled with charismatic monsters and wild animations. Hopping from one entry to another and rediscovering this snappy, stylish system delivers a constant nostalgic pleasure. The replay value is enormous. Generous and polished, an essential box set for fans of supercharged brawling and a gothic bestiary.

Is Vampire - Darkstalkers Collection still worth playing in 2026?
A fighting compilation from Capcom, Vampire Darkstalkers Collection gathers several entries of the Darkstalkers series, that 2D versus fighter with a gothic, cartoon bestiary renowned for its exuberant animation, snappy combat and bold combo system. The combined wealth of the rosters, the beauty of the pixel art and the inventiveness of the characters make it a precious anthology for genre fans. The Japan exclusivity and a demanding pace reserve access for the initiated. An excellent compilation for fans of 2D fighting and the Darkstalkers universe.
