Bram Stoker's Dracula Overview
Bram Stoker's Dracula for the Game Boy is a side scrolling platformer. The player controls Jonathan Harker, whose objective is to defeat Count Dracula across locations including Transylvania and London.
Levels are structured in two distinct parts, a Daytime section followed by a completely different Nighttime stage. Progression involves navigating platforms and obstacles while confronting minor enemies. The conclusion of a Nighttime level typically features a boss encounter that must be overcome.
Harker's basic actions include moving, jumping, and attacking, initially with a knife. The on screen display tracks his health, a countdown timer for the stage, and his current weapon. Scattered throughout the environments are question mark boxes that can be struck to reveal items. These provide benefits such as health restoration, additional time, or more powerful weapons like axes, daggers, or a shotgun. These boxes can also serve as platforms to access new areas.
