Vampire Hunter D (バンパイアハンターD, Banpaia Hantā D) is a PlayStation video game based on the series of books and movies of the same name.

Comparable to Resident Evil, the gameplay consists of thoroughly exploring a castle, collecting items, keys, and solving puzzles to progress.

D can also use the Left Hand character to absorb enemies after they've been damaged to a certain degree, unleash a powerful magic attack, and use a healing ability.

Along with environmental objects, maps, and keys, D can collect sub-weapons to use, such as wooden darts, flash bangs, and hand grenades.

Alternatively, D can raise his VP meter by standing close to enemies and attacking, allowing D to absorb their blood.

Throughout the game, D faces a number of different monsters and boss characters, and can use his sword and sub-weapons to defeat them.

Vampire Hunter D features three separate endings which can be earned respectively by visiting certain areas, collecting certain items, and making certain decisions throughout the game when prompted to do so.

Also, Elbourne's son hired a team of human vampire hunters known as the Marcus Brothers to serve as backup.
