10 Video Game Villains Who Switched Sides (To Fight Something Worse)
3. Even Dracula Is Scared Of The Devil - Castlevania: Lords Of Shadows 2
Dracula is the main antagonist of the Castlevania series that has acted as the archrival of the Belmont family ever since the first game.
The fancy-pants lord of darkness is best known for his grandiose speech about humanity being "a miserable little pile of secrets," so you'd think there wouldn't be anything that could convince him to work with a human being as an equal.
And yet, one of Castlevania's more recent series, Lords of Shadow, features Dracula as yet another monster hunter within the Belmont bloodline!
Why? Well, the short answer is that the game introduces a new, more ominous personification of evil as its main antagonist. And that evil is Satan.
Yes, even Transylvania's bloodsucking tyrant cannot hold a candle to the wicked power of the devil himself, which is why Dracula gets over his past as a manor lord and becomes a full-time demon slayer.
The revelation is a total surprise for any fan of the old-school titles, but on the other hand, it's undeniable that being able to play as Castlevania's oldest antagonist is a pretty awesome deal!
