Story Edit

Jedah, one of the high nobles of Makai, is resurrected after a premature death long ago. Seeing the state of the demon world, he decides that the only way to save the world is to recreate it. To this end, he conjures a dimension known as Majigen, to which he summons worthy souls to feed his new world. As luck would have it, those souls belong to the characters from the first two games, in addition to three newcomers.

GameplayEdit

Darkstalkers 3 eschews the traditional round-based system in favor of what is dubbed the Damage Gauge System, with each fighter having two "life markers" which diminish after one's own life bar is completely emptied. The player can also regain a portion of their life during battle, if they manage to avoid taking further hits. The game also introduces the Dark Force System, which allows players to perform special abilities unique to each character for a limited period.

DarkStalkers 3 (Vampire Savior Ex: World Of Darkness)Edit

It has a secret menu, a special ending credit (if users clear certain condition), arrange sound effects, alternative music, and all of the main artwork, including new artwork as well. Donovan, Pyron, and Huitzil has their own Vampire Savior ending (which doesn't tied to the main series). Gameplay and battle system has been tweak once again. Users can change the theme of the health bar and power guage into Vampire Savior 1 & 2 or Vampire Hunter 2. The game also contain all three intros and endings.

Vampire Hunter 2/Vampire Savior 2Edit

After the success of Vampire Savior: World of Darkness, Capcom released two special updated games in a few months for the Arcades (in Japan Only). The updated games are known as "Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire" and "Vampire Hunter 2: DarkStalkers Revenge". The two games have alternative background stage colors, secret characters, minor gameplay tweaks and changes to the characters' move lists. These games are not tied to the main story, the stories being "What-If?"s.

TriviaEdit

• Vampire Savior has a secret title "DarkStalkers: Jedah's Damnation" which can only be used by hack. It's possible that it can be a beta test screen by Capcom in their earlier development.
