Indie game developer Programancer and publisher Retroware have a new parody game on the way with The Transylvania Adventure Of Simon Quest. This is a straight-up parody of Castlevania as they both pay homage to the series while simultaneously mocking it with a story befitting a would-be hero who feels his moment of glory was stolen from him. Of course, the game uses modern mechanics, so you're getting an 8-bit game that feels like it was made in 2024. We have more info on it here as the game is getting released sometime in 2025.

The Transylvania Adventure Of Simon Quest

The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest is a parody/homage side-scrolling platformer that immerses players in an ominous 8-bit world. The titular hero, Simon Quest, has just arrived in Transylvania only to discover his vampire-hunting rival, Stan Helsing, has already slain the evil Count Dracula. In order to reclaim the glory that should be his, he journeys across Wallachia to gather what he needs to resurrect the dark count piece by piece and kick his ass himself!

  • Sequence Breaking Encouraged: In both the overworld and in mansions, there are plenty of alternate pathways (and choices) you can make. You may think every mansion has a linear route, but you'll find there are other paths you can take to clear them! For those adventurous enough to seek an unorthodox journey in the overworld, you can even try taking on later mansions early. In fact, doing so might even yield you a different ending.
  • Minigames Galore: When you need to catch a break from your perilous journey for glory, consider drowning yourself in minigames! Scattered throughout the world, you can challenge yourself with Memory, roll out in Crabbin Races, try your hand at Crane Game, or even do some Launch Surfing!
  • Different Equipment Chains: You'll find plenty of gnarly weapons and items to help you become the rightful hero of this story. The only question is: Which of them are worthy of you?
  • Built-In Randomizer: Mix up your experience by randomizing items or enable other options in the game to craft a truly unique journey!
