Vampires eh? Historical lore tells us they’re hardly ever lifeless even while you assume they’re. Which is why its apt that the deceased Castlevania mobile-exclusive sport Grimoire of Souls is being resurrected.

You’ll have to grasp the strikes of every character, a few of which should be unlocked, to defeat the myriad of enemies.
The aim for the primary character is to forestall Dracula from being resurrected from the lifeless, so we are able to solely assume that may nonetheless be the case this time round. It’s not clear whether or not there’ll be many modifications, however as a result of the sport is barely accessible for Apple Arcade, all the things else will likely be free-to-play with no micro transactions.
