Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a direct port of the classic action-adventure game to mobile devices. Players control Alucard, exploring a vast, interconnected castle filled with monsters, secrets, and powerful bosses. The touchscreen interface provides virtual controls for movement, jumping, and combat.

The core gameplay involves real-time combat, character progression through gained experience, and discovering a wide array of weapons and spells. Exploration is key, as new abilities allow access to previously unreachable areas. The mobile version includes the original game's full content, including the inverted castle.
