Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers' Revenge
Sega Saturn · 1996
About this game
Vampire Hunter D is based on the anime titled Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust , which, in its turn, is based on the novel Vampire Hunter D: Demon Deathchase by Hideyuki Kikuchi .
You play as D, the half-human / half-vampire whose sole mission in life is to hunt down and kill vampires.

The setting is not the distant medieval past, nor is it the mid-19th century, instead D's adventures are set in the far distant future, when humanity has nearly killed itself off by endless wars.
Rising from the scorched earth and assuming power in this desolate era are the timeless vampires.
They established a feudal system where they ruled over humans as nobles in Europe ruled over their peasants.
But after thousands of years the Vampires' power waned and humans revolted against their lords, and thus the class of Vampire Hunters were born.
In this particular story, D is employed by a rich family to retrieve their daughter from the vampire who kidnapped her.
He is not the only one trying to free her; a rival group of vampire hunters, the Marcus Brothers, are after the daughter and the bounty, regarding D as a rival.
The Vampire Hunter D must enter Castle Chaith, battle the Vampire Lord, the minions that inhabit the castle, and a hidden evil, to save the girl and collect his bounty.
The action in Vampire Hunter D plays like the early Resident Evil games.
There are pre-rendered backgrounds and all the characters are animated in 3D.
Players utilize D's signature weapon, his massive long sword, as well as his special vampire powers, (which comprise healing, offensive, and defensive powers), to battle the hordes of evil creatures that live in the hallways and chambers of the daemonic Castle Chaith.
You must solve puzzles, unlock doors, and retrieve key items to progress into the depths and heights of the castle, ultimately reaching and revealing the true evil power pulling the strings of this macabre story.
About Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn (1994/1995) struggled commercially against the PlayStation despite strong 2D capabilities and a library beloved by shoot-'em-up and RPG fans. Its relatively low sales translated directly into low print runs for many games, making the Saturn one of the more expensive retro platforms to collect completely — several titles now sell for hundreds of euros in good condition.
Gamevaro tracks Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers' Revenge for Sega Saturn with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers' Revenge to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SAT release dates back to 1996.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers' Revenge, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Saturn titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
