Last month, Konami announced they’d be releasing a Castlevania title for the iPhone. I was surprised when what they announced wasn’t a true side-scrolling Castlevania adventure game that we all grew up playing, but instead it was a puzzle game. Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night is a match-3 falling-block puzzle game similar to Capcom’s Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, and judging by the trailer that was just released, it might actually be pretty awesome.
After watching the trailer, I think the game might be a mix between Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Puzzle Quest as it looks like you can perform magical attacks against your opponent. Also, the game seems to have some kind of story mode as Alucard can be seen making his way through levels and having dialog with his opponents before a battle.
Still no word on price and availability, but I’m hoping we’ll hear more about Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night at E3 next week.
