5.0It’s not a horrible game, but its not really a good one either, if you want to experience it for the laughs just know that it will come with the tears of having to deal with the combat.

About
Play as a lovelorn, brooding Drac who, after a century of moping around post-heartbreak, is thrown into a monster reality-dating show, hosted by the Grim Reaper! Explore Transylvania’s perilous countryside as you slay absurd baddies on your hunt for the most eligible monsters.
Will Drac find “Love at first Bite”, or will he discover “Love Sucks”?”
Discover the "human" inside each monster as you romance, befriend or eliminate a cast of 12 fully-voiced supernatural contestants! Taking your relationships to the next level progresses your own strength, abilities, and more.
It's not a reality show until there's some drama! Make-up or break-up - we don't judge! With a weaving story full of dialogue and narrative options, as well as the ability to choose your body type and voice, become the ultimate decision-maker in YOUR story.
From the voluptuous Smashmounds, to the back alleys of Booty Bay, and everything in between, discover an unpredictable, interconnected world filled with monsters to recruit, hidden date spots, and outlandish baddies and boss encounters.
As the former glorious Drac, stripped of their old powers, it’s up to you to become your best bloodthirsty self. Vanquish goons with iconic weapons, elementals, bats, and even Medusa’s "headouken!" on the road to your victorious rampage in this side-scrolling platformer.

Critic reviews
- COGconnected9.0Romcancelvania has all the qualities of my ideal partner. I like the way it looks. Looks aren’t everything though; it’s also got it where it counts. It makes me laugh, uses puns, probably too much. It challenges me to grow as a person and improve my weapons often.
- Destructoid5.0Romancelvania feels a lot like an idea too grand, a team too small, and a deadline too short. There is a lot of vision, a great deal of creativity, and no shortage of love, but all of that got crushed under the reality of the workload. The whole combination of two established subgenres is a substantial experiment, and that requires a lot of prototyping, testing, failing, and starting over. Romancelvania feels like it charged ahead without looking back on a lot of things. As such, the end product is a bit of a mess.
- Dual Shockers6.5Romancelvania has the formula for success and clear talent behind it, but something didn't quite come together. There will be those who sink their teeth into the story and stomach the gameplay, but it's going to be a labor of love finding Drac's other half, rather than the perfect campy gothic dream I'd hoped it would be.
- PCInvasion4.0Romancelvania is a bad game, true, but it’s got a lot of heart and some very good qualities. The combat, movement, mechanics, and balancing are all fairly awful, which makes it a bit of a pain to play. But it can be fun.
- TheXboxHub5.0In the end, all our fears have been realised. Romancelvania’s dating sim half is frivolous fun, but its other half, the Metroidvania, drunkenly crashes the party. It ungracefully stumbles about, throwing up on the couch. We certainly know which of the two halves we’d choose to evict, come voting time.
