Castlevania: SotN

Love this game!! Controls are a bit hard to get used to but itll become easier. Worth the money!!! dont expect your data to transfer if you get a new phone. you'll have all achievements but no times played no save files its like old school if you didnt bring your memory card you dont play your files.

- Damian Antonelli · v1.0.6

Konami...we need the cloud save option for this game. Being able to transfer saves to different devices helps us from not having to start completely from the beginning. Please add this option.

- Brett Parkin

GOAT Castlevania

- Michael Yumang · v1.0.6

Its SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT!!!! absolutely INCREDIBLE, unfortunately the on screen buttons are so TINY I cant press consistently, absolutely disregard any form of button/control customization

- DANNY · v1.0.6

Great port

- Xenon Rider · v1.0.6

I have a fold 7. I opened the game unfolded, then switched to folded. The game decided to delete my save file. Are you kidding me?!

- Vergbergler · v1.0.6

great game of course. very good version of it, especially for the price. only things I would change are being able to turn off auto save every time you enter a room, got me stuck a few times. a CRT filter would be nice too

- Nicolas Latondress · v1.0.6

Kinda awkward to play with touch screen controls but it's sotn so obviously it's good

- Sam · v1.0.6

This game does not officially support cloud saving or synchronization between different devices.

- Brett Parkin · v1.0.6

The ending dialogue has changed, Dracula no longer quotes the Bible. The controls are fine but could be improved. It would be nice to have cloud save as an option. It's nice to be able to play as Richter and Maria in addition to Alucard. Works on Android 17. The form of mist is difficult to use but the low reviews are wrong you can progress and finish everything.

- David Graieg · v1.0.6

No funciona en el Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

- Alex Calderón · v1.0.6

Gotta give it up to Konami. This game is fighting with Rondo of Blood for best Castlevania all-time. That is a FANTASTIC start! Now if we can just get Konami to release the other Metroidvania games in here (really, just any and all 2-d versions) I would purchase every last one of them!.. and I don't think I'd be the only one who would! Let's make that happen, Konami! Did you guys stop liking money or something? C'mon!😂

- Mike Frost · v1.0.6

Basically unplayable without a controller, but I should have known that before purchasing. Either way, if suggested buying this on a pc or console instead. I never trust an app that needs to access my photos to function.

- Shawn Isawesome

beautiful and wonderful game. I will always replay this game and there's always something new. it's fun to play luck mode, to play as the Axe, as Richter and as Maria.

- Matthew Kevin Obispo · v1.0.6

The game is cool. The controls stink. The touch screen controller interface is just too awkward and precise to provide a great gaming experience.

- Brettagher · v1.0.6

Please allow users to play on Chromecast 4k with a controller. or just add it to steam so I can stream it from my desktop to my Chromecast.

- Evan Martin · v1.0.6

Save your money. $4 is too high. The controls are horrendous. Buy it for console or find a rom and use a controller, touchscreen is the absolute worst. Edit: even worse than i thought. No button mapping and the buttons are super tiny. This is the worst port i have ever attempted to play and demand a refund.

- Ian Robson · v1.0.6

Best game ever made

- Joao Paulo freire · v1.0.6

it's a good mobile port but JFC the mobile buttons are horrible. you cannot slide off the d-pad or you will stop moving. it's really frustrating. The game needs a button editing layout and the choice to change the d-pad to an analog that will not stop when I slide my thumb off it. also full screen would be a nice addition too.

- Daniel Martinez · v1.0.6

Port Castlevania GBA and ds Games 🤷🏻‍♂️

- Omar AL-Bar · v1.0.6

One of the best side scrollers ever made. A true classic and a piece of art. Worth every penny!

- Douglas Koleada · v1.0.6

best metroidvania out there, definitely would recommend to any vampire fans. controls may take time to get used to, but overall worth it.

- Brando · v1.0.6

I could forgive the jenky controls. it's a mobile action game. All the stars are gone because of the redone voices. Read the room. If you're gonna try to exploit nostalgia for cash, at least know what people liked about the original..

- Chris Patton

The best game of it's generation ruined by absolutely horrible controls.

- Trevor Robbins · v1.0.2

Never played this game when it came out, glad I didn't. my least favorite Castlevaina game by a mile. Maybe I just don't have the patience for older games anymore but this is a chore to play, the items all suck and the bqck tracking is overwhelming. wouldn't recommend toal anyone, soma is better than alucard... a bird touched me, I flew 10 fkn feet off a ledge i was trying to reach, uninstalled.

- Reroll Sama

so badass I freaking love this app and I can use my Xbox controller Bluetooth to it with no issues

- Jack Matheny · v1.0.6

garbage port, the controls are the worst I have played. absolutely horrendous¡!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Dan

good touch controls but great game with a controller!

- Marcus McKinney · v1.0.6

great game, but can't seem to play this with the MCON controller because when I am jumping the map appears, and it doesn't allow for the full jump. absolutely crucial for this game. It looks great, but I wish I could use this remote to play it all the way.

- Edson Leon · v1.0.6

games basically unplayable because of the controls. you will spend 95% of your time trying to jump. a section that takes two seconds to clear with a controller has you trying over and over for 10mins. the controls are unresponsive and you have to press them exactly in the center or it doesn't register. you have to hold down the jump button (exactly right) for 3 seconds to do a high jump. only pressing it quickly does a tiny jump a centimeter off the ground. don't even bother

- Colby S · v1.0.6

I payed for the game but it dont work right i pick up hearts but do t get no health restored yall need to fix this

- Guy Fawkes · v1.0.6

wow... who ever thought of changing such a masterpiece dialogue in this game for whatever this is??? it hurts my head having to hear this gibberish while playing the game. i won't give it less than 5 stars because i don't mean to hurt the game itself

- Alexander Guzman · v1.0.6

it's a great game but there's no dynamic control, which sucks.

- Ruphyze · v1.0.6

Duuudddeeeeeee!!! This brings back memories of high school for me! Perfect port AND it's controller supported! What's not to love about it?!!!

- Samuel F · v1.0.6

My backbone 👍 and No cloud data 😢

- AuraCharsX · v1.0.6

You should've not removed the money glitch! Most people who bought this game prolly finished this game before. We play this game again for nostalgia but we don't want to waste too much time farming to buy the duplicater. Anyways, nice port. Nice game! Brings back memories.

- Jeff Jularbal · v1.0.4

nostalgia and fun.

- Marco Salas (Crontech) · v1.0.6

pls add the contents from sega saturn

- Emon Salt

Controls are a pain, but very fun and nostalgic! Runs well

- Matthew Palmer

Fix jump button on controller because when change to Japanese language it's change from A to B.

- Bro Jeed · v1.0.6

Would be an amazing game port, but you can't transfer your save files like any other game. When you get a new phone and transfer them Uber, this is the third time I've had to get a new phone and lost all of my files. There has to be a way to get them back, fix this.Google

- Jonathan Holland · v1.0.6

If you get stuck waiting for the left clock tower statue to move to access the colosseum and unlock mist form, load your save instead of selecting Continue.

- Christopher Hallstrom · v1.0.6

beware, this is a scam dont download. doesnt work and you cant get your money back.

- Francis McG · v1.0.6

keep on crashing for no reason. wth

- Kristan Ramos · v1.0.6

Bought this because I needed something to when I was bored. The controls are a tad funky, but I got used to them real quickly. Would recommend.

- Logan Carroll (AurelliA) · v1.0.6

Too hard to control on mobile. Controls are not as responsive as they should be and there's no way to change sensitivity. No tutorial to explain control layout. Its all trial and error. Very frustrating. Gameplay is straight forward. Graphics are old school which is fine. But the controls are the worst.

- L K · v1.0.6

Best Konami mobile software available so far.

- K Wilson · v1.0.2

Currently broken, crashes on launch on Android 16, was working before.

- Robin “Drummer” Bainelf

One of the greatest games of all time (mostly imo)

- Logan Boone · v1.0.6

Edit: As of June 2026, still no ability to remap controller buttons. Game is unplayable on some Bluetooth controllers, including the very popular 8BitDo line. Origjnal review: This needs the ability to remap bluetooth controller buttons. The default layout makes my 8Bitdo SN30 Pro practically unusable.

- Vinny M · v1.0.6

best game i ever played so far, really such a nostalgia

- DARK SAMURAI

Unfortunately, the highly unresponsive touch pad controls make the game borderline unplayable. According to some players on the Castlevania subreddit a controller would alleviate this, but I neither own, nor plan on buying one just to make this (UNREFUNDABLE!) 3 euro purchase worthwhile. It seems an emulator is the only route.

- yav

controls unresponsive

- Dwain Lofton · v1.0.6

Best game on this cursed platform full of trash.

- Andres b · v1.0.6

I'm an avid gamer and hit my Castlevania stride with Symphony Of The Night (Sotn) when it was released on the OG Playstation. I thought this would be a good way to relive some nostalgia, but there are a few problems. 1) no button guide or custom mapping. 2) controller or bust. 3) different voice actors and dialogue script changes. 4) I just got Mist form and only managed to use it once accidentally no matter the button/trigger. it's not going to be easy, but I will press on.

- vulpecula _et_nox · v1.0.6

game would be fun but your controls don't work. you have no settings to adjust the controls. if you get stuck in a position everyone you start the game you die. have to clear the game to start over Everytime. need to seriously fix your controls

- Robert Martin · v1.0.6

Loved the app before the Oct 06 2025 update, but something about that update rendered it unplayable and refuses to re download. Months of trying and re trying the troubleshooting tips and reaching out failed to solve it so just have to call it quits as just not worth the frustration. 😓

- Nightshade Bane

this is the worst version of the game lol

- David Lopez · v1.0.6

i absolutely love this

- Hunter Barbarossa · v1.0.6

wish they would've left the old dramatic voice lines

- Deimantė · v1.0.6

It's a good enough port to recommend if you're interested in the game and have a Bluetooth controller. If you DON'T, though, the touch controls aren't that great due to the awkward spacing, making more precise attacks hard to pull off.

- Michael James · v1.0.6

my game is crashing alot please fix this issue imusing Galaxy S25 Ultra

- Rahul Virdi · v1.0.6

Definitely worth it. Thank you Konami!

- Jason Gifford · v1.0.6

hi can you please release the rest of Castlevania(s) for mobile?

- Kaia Saif · v1.0.2

please make japanese dub with english text, also please fix child maria voice on japanese dub because she talk english on japanese language

- Domon God · v1.0.6

Innocuous.

- Rush · v1.0.6

well

- Foladisa Yeconia · v1.0.6

SOTN is one of the greatest games of all time. Mobile port has some issues, but nothing using a controller can't fix, mostly. I wish we had a toggle to use the original PS1 voices and all that, because its part of this games charm. What does this version do different than others? The on-screen controls allow you to cast a spell instead of having to input the command for it every time. Spam Soul Steal and Tetra Spirit! Also you can continue directly from the last screen you enter from the menu.

- Noah Janiszewski · v1.0.6

Too many crashes, even though my phone is new

- AJ Manliyos

controls are bad

- Falling Stone · v1.0.6

Only works with Airpidos

I’m not able to listen the music with out AirPods. Please fix it

- oulichina2015 · v1.0.5

Controller Bugs. Mist form with my gamepad is broken. Only works right if I unplug the gamepad while playing. No settings to map or explain controller buttons.

- Chad Dayton · v1.0.6

Never played a Castlevania before this. This was a lot of fun and worked/played great. A good intro to the series. please make credit roll faster tho wow

- Greg Phillips · v1.0.6

Obviously it's a really good game, and the price is great, but the controls really suck. Jumping and attacking on the mobile version is painful, but you can bind spells you know to a single button instead of the fighting game input, so I relied on tetra spirit a lot. Also it counts as you having a complete file so you can get the ring of Varna and stuff on the first playthrough. Even with the bad control layout it's worth it for the price.

- J Allen · v1.0.6

Great game! imagine if it was on steam and given sequels! Konami pls

- Kevin Lopez · v1.0.6

Very good game and the OST is exactly what I expected. Brings back memories.

- Jamin Lavandera S. · v1.0.5

at a certain point, the game locks itself into double speed, and there is absolutely no way to turn it off.

- Exile

can't beat a classic

- Dan Servant · v1.0.6

one of the best games ever 👍

- Cristi Sălcudean · v1.0.5

great game. i missed out on this when it came out on ps1 because i did not know about it and for £2.99 its worth getting it on android. would you consider bringing rondo of blood. the dominus collection and the one thats Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, thats on ios to android

- Jason Perry · v1.0.6

first (and best) Castlevania game I've played

- Nicholas Woodrow · v1.0.6

I've immensely enjoyed this game. The discovery of new elements feels rewarding and exciting and the music, design and storyline is equally delightful. I was rarely bored and felt driven to go and experience each ending. I'd say the major drawback is the awkward controls. edit: attempting to revisit this game but it wont let me install the game and says I need to purchase it!

- shaw419

this is a very good way to play sotn, and it has definitive features from both the north american and japanese versions

- Dade Lowe · v1.0.6

Not bad!

Decent port, but needs controller support.

- kdn_fgc · v1.0.5

The clock froze D:

Idk what I did but the clock room's big clock froze and isn't updating to game time. Unfortunately (no spoilers) this blocks a lot of the later game. This is still a great game, the touch controls are a bit of a challenge but having a game anywhere is worth it. Thank you, Konami workers!

- unique name 54612 · v1.0.5

Terrible controls!

Awful port of this game. The controls are unresponsive and slow leading to frustrating gameplay. Original game was 10/10. This app version not so much

- gamestop lives · v1.0.5

Weird Bluetooth audio

Game is nearly perfect, and strangely easy to play with the on-screen buttons. However, when connected to any Bluetooth audio output, the audio is slowed down considerably. Doesn’t break the game, but it does make it a disorienting experience.

- the dopamine fiend · v1.0.5

Game freezes bug

The game freezes when u get to the royal palace and go thru the bottom left entrance.alucard just freezes at the red door, and I have to keep starting over.i thought it was my phone. But a year later it still does this

- SmithNwesson3874 · v1.0.5

Controls

game itself is flawless, however there is room on the borders to move the buttons OUT of the actual game area, and enough room to have all 3 of alucards transformations be their own buttons. on a ps4/5 controller, the map is bound to right stick up/down which can be glitchy and frustrating with the map getting 'stuck' on screen, being able to rebind buttons would solve this completely. address this, its not even hard. i could do it myself.

- nniyuo · v1.0.5

Clunky and not worth the money

On-screen controls are somewhat unresponsive unless hit very precisely, and when one’s character dies the game saves to rather awkward points, such as mere seconds before demise; this results in either just reliving the moment of death over and over again, or restarting from the beginning. The second option wouldn’t be a problem except for the absolutely unnecessary opening ‘level’ that sets up the game’s main play. It takes too long and there’s no real point to it expect for introducing the main storyline.

- Glum Slasher · v1.0.5

Great Experience

Always was curious about this series as a kid. Now I can play it as I please! It’s a really great game, super fun visuals and the gameplay is good. Totally rad game.

- Steve the animal · v1.0.5

controls need work.

as stated, controls need work. Inputs don't read half the time.

- negiek · v1.0.5

Controls

I can’t seem to move and then control are trash

- Paulraul · v1.0.5

The controls barely work

The game is perfect its the trash controller thats the issue i have to tap left or right multiple times to get alucard to move causing me to get hit

- deonta13 · v1.0.5

Terrible controls

Wonderful game but absolutely terrible controls

- Cleverpot Official · v1.0.5

Good game

5 stars would be there IF you could move and/or make the controls bigger. You need a controller to play this. So get yourself a PS4 controller or similar. But that definitely changes it all!

- Harlock review · v1.0.5

Little changes

Voices are different and audio drops

- Smurfdrums666 · v1.0.5

Good game, meh execution.

I don’t recommend this, especially to new players. SotN is one of my favorite games of all time. I only really decided to get this version so I could tear through the castle as Richter when bored on the go. Some issues unfortunately. Controls poorly. You can use a controller, but that kind of defeats the purpose of being mobile. My experience with a ps5 controller wasn’t great either. Even easy spells like Dark Metamorphosis I had issues with for some reason. For touch controls, I think letting the player drag the right thumb from the jump to the attack button could help, and a button to activate the special vertical jump like we have with Richters dash (great idea btw) would go a long way. Some audio glitching, sputtering sound. Also, this version is basically the psp port, which doesn’t look as good and has inferior new voices for characters. An option to restore the original audio would be nice. I know it was only $2.99, but I would pay more for a better product. I know I sound whiny, but there is potential here. I’d love to play all the old castlevania games on mobile, that would be a blast.

- fiskwjvofowiekvosk eh j · v1.0.5

10/10

A masterpiece. The art, gameplay, story, and music are all top-tier. The only shortcoming is that the Inverted Castle feels slightly underwhelming; thankfully, it features entirely new monsters and bosses. The iOS port this time is also very well done—compared to the PS version, it adds Maria as a playable character, supports controllers, and has a redesigned UI. Big thumbs-up!

- 瓦尔特 卡尔 · v1.0.5

Great Game!

It’s a great game but hard to play on an iPhone.
