This highly acclaimed collection brings two of Capcom’s most iconic arcade titles—Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3—together in one massive, high-definition package for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
A Supernatural Clash of Titans
Set in a world where mythological creatures and cinematic monsters collide, Darkstalkers Resurrection features a roster bursting with personality. The game pits a diverse array of legendary characters against one another, ranging from beloved icons like the adorable Felicia and Sasquatch to intimidating foes such as Demitri and Jedah. Whether you are battling mummies, zombies, succubi, or even the mysterious jiangshi, every character brings unique, hysterical movesets and creative designs that have made this franchise a staple of fighting game history.
While the gameplay mechanics share DNA with the Street Fighter series, the Darkstalkers combat is distinct, characterized by its fast-paced energy and incredibly fluid animation.
