The Sega CD and Amiga releases are beat 'em ups, and the MS-DOS version is a first-person shooter.

Harker must free himself from Count Dracula's captivity, follow him to London, and end his reign of terror.

The Super NES and Megadrive/Genesis releases were platforming action games that are identical to each other, but have a few alterations depending on the version.

The release for Sega CD makes use of digitized backgrounds and includes full motion video (FMV) cutscenes from the film.

Released in North America, the player controls Jonathan Harker as he travels through seven stages that are based on scenes from the film.

Each stage has a primary task which involves finding and destroying all the coffins that have Transylvanian earth inside, in order to advance in the game.

In this version, Jonathan Harker must traverse several large stages to locate and purify a varying number of coffins, while warding off monsters with either a pistol or a knife.

Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Sega CD version a 5.25 out of 10, commenting that the main character's movements are choppy, the battling with birds and bats is unimpressive and dull, and the full motion video sequences are so pixelated and blurry that it is difficult to make out what is going on.
