Castlevania is a video game series. It is a sequence of dark fantasy-themed action-adventure video games created and developed by Konami. It is centered on the Belmont family, a clan of vampire hunters, and their fight with Dracula. The first release is dated back to September 26, 1986.
Back then , the series did not receive a wide attention outside Japan until the FCD version was ported to cartridge format for the Nintendo Entertainment System and localized for North American and European releases of Castlevania in 1987 and 1988, respectively.
It has long been a favorite video game. One fan named,Dejawolf, a Norweigan developer was determined to recreate the first Castlevania, doing so with the Unreal Engine 4. Back in March 2016, dsogaming, said "Dejawolfs has been working on this project for the past 4 months." It was about a year in the making, DSOG reports.

After long months of waiting the game is now available for download. It was released last October 31, 2016. It can be downloaded in Dejawolf's very own website. Tech Spot reported that, "the latest revision delivers a massive frame rate improvement in certain areas and that the demo looks absolutely stunning."

Though a lot of old school gamers had a positive feedback on the remake, it cannot be denied that Dejawolf could face some legal issues. Now, he is on a partway through the development of the second stage and has taken to Kickster to try to fund the development and its license for it is expensive.
