Incredible Dracula III: Family Secret

Dracula is one of the most well-known monsters out there, especially when it comes to video games and horror stories. Naturally, it’s a bit difficult to make him exciting nowadays, given the fact that his story has been told hundreds of times in almost every possible way. However, there’s always a new idea you can try, since it’s not mandatory to change the whole lore for the adventure to feel unique.

Incredible Dracula III: Family Secret is a time management game in which you have to help the famous Count Dracula avoid his annoying relatives and accomplish a variety of tasks. The game is part of the well-known time management series, so it features most of the same mechanics, which should allow every returning fan to get right down to it without needing any help.

In short, the story revolves around an unexpected visit from Dracula’s relatives, which turns into a real nightmare for the count. Hence, he must accomplish a variety of objectives to make his life easier and stay as far away from his relatives as possible. There are a few cutscenes you can watch along the way, as well as short dialog sequences at the beginning of each round.

Each level follows the same rules in terms of gameplay mechanics, but the objectives change, so it feels like you are doing something else, kind of. Hence, you have to clear roads and collect resources in order to restore buildings, repair various structures, or simply reach other characters that are stuck around the map. Certain upgrades make your life easier as well, but the game is largely the same from start to finish.

As for the graphics, it’s great to see such attention to detail in a casual game, because every map is different and full of interesting sights. Although you cannot zoom in to get a better look at the scenery, the colors and the nice animations work wonders for the atmosphere. The same goes for the soundtrack and the sound effects, which somehow don’t get annoying after a few minutes.

In the end, Incredible Dracula III: Family Secret could easily keep you busy for a few hours, especially if you add time limits and increase the difficulty level. However, it’s not very original in terms of gameplay mechanics, so you have to take that into consideration.
