Synopsis

Darkstalkers 3, titled in Japan "Vampire Savior": The Lord of Vampire, is the second sequel to Capcom's Darkstalkers fighting game series, originally released in arcades in 1997. The game retains the character roster from Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, omitting Donovan, Huitzil, and Pyron. Four new characters have taken their place: Jedah, Lilith, Q-Bee and B.B. Hood. It also features a secret "shadow" mode, where the player takes on the identity of the defeated character for the next fight (for example, if Morrigan is defeated, the next fight, the player will play as Morrigan). Vampire Savior eschews the traditional turn-based system in favor of a Damage Gauge System, where combat takes place over a period of one turn. Each fighter has by default two "life markers" (equivalent to two life bars), which decrease when a character lacks vitality. The player can also regain some of their life bar during combat if they manage to avoid further hits. The game introduces the "Dark Force System" which allows players to perform special abilities unique to each character for a limited period of time.
