Vampire Survivors introduces a new chapter called Ode to Castlevania, which comes as a love letter to the beloved series that inspired the setting of Vampire Survivors itself. But it's not a mere homage; this DLC brings a new stage where you can play as one of the many Castlevania protagonists, each one with their weapon.

However, unlocking these characters is not an easy task, and from Leon Belmont to Soma Cruz, each generation of vampire hunter has its requirements before you can freely play as any of them. Here's all you need to know about it!

How To Unlock Every Character In Ode To Castlevania

To unlock every Castlevania character, you must fulfill different missions as you play with the characters you unlock, which will take several runs. The objectives are the following:
