Castlevania: Hymn of Blood

A scrappy, lore-heavy web serial that plays like a moody fan-film, rewarding franchise devotees while feeling rough around the edges.

Genres

Sci-fi & fantasy

Starring

Eric Etebari

Overview

An interpretation of a possible backstory for Simon Belmont, the protagonist of the Castlevania video games. It should come as a relief to old-school gamers that the serialized story seems to focus more on references and lore from the three NES games, rather than anything from the more recent (and terrible) games.

How it feels

Dark, eerie, earnest and campy. Measured and needs your attention.

About

Identity, fate, family, violence

Content

Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
