Even though the resurrection of Dracula was a success, the vampire hunters defeated him, and his allies.Īs with most early Castlevania games, players proceed through each level, defeating enemies and collecting gems (hearts in previous games) to power special weapons (in this game, the axe, boomerang, and holy water). John Morris and Eric Lecarde followed them. After Drolta Tzuentes resurrected Elizabeth Bartley, they traveled across Europe to conduct the resurrection of Count Dracula. The characters are John Morris, a distant descendant of the famed Belmont and Morris families who obeyed his fate to fight vampires day and night, and Eric Lecarde, whose girlfriend was transformed into a vampire when Elizabeth was revived. In order to revive her uncle, Count Dracula, she conducted an unholy ceremony which caused the war, giving her possession of human souls from Europe. It was said that a strange beautiful woman was involved, within the shadows. At the beginning of the war, on June 1914 at Sarajevo, the Crown Prince of Austria was assassinated. Peace was restored to Europe, until the outbreak of the First World War, which transformed the continent into a dark world filled with massacre and violence. In 1897, the long war between humanity and Dracula came to an end, as Dracula was laid to eternal rest by Quincey Morris, a distant descendant of the Belmont family. Unlike most Castlevania games, Bloodlines is one of the first games in the series that does not take place exclusively in Dracula's castle, with most levels taking place all throughout Europe. Together they manage to prevent Dracula's full resurrection.

Quincy Morris' son, John, and his best friend Eric Lecarde, vow to take up the fight against evil. Plotting a sacrificial war in order to bring her uncle back to life, she orchestrates the beginning of World War I. The game's storyline concerns a legendary vampire named Elizabeth Bartley who is Dracula's niece, suddenly appearing in the 20th century. The European and Australian titles were censored and both titled Castlevania: The New Generation.
