10 Best Vampires In Video Games

Who better than the big man himself? The character truly brought the concept of vampirism to the mainstream and has been a massive feature in movies, literature, stage shows, artwork and, of course, gaming.

When it comes to generating villains, the Castlevania series hardly has to worry about running out of ideas, as Dracula's immortal and never-dying presence is always a guarantee for success. He has acted as the main antagonist in essentially every game in the series, and yet fans never seem to tire of him.

Originally, this character was a human named Mathias Cronqvist. After falling victim to the curse of the vampire from the Crimson Stone, he adopted a new moniker as the Dark Lord Dracula. His presence is always terrifying as the games pay plenty of attention to building him up as a menacing foe, and thus his final boss battles are always a deadly treat.

Dracula does far more than act as a maniacal being, as his indifference towards his victims is notable, but he also displays a caring side towards his son Alucard.

This helps to develop the character and make him more than a two-dimensional villain. But, ultimately, he takes the crown thanks to being such an iconic baddie and legendary figure.
