The initial story of the game follows a werewolf named Cornell who enters the castle [[{{Prequel}} eight years prior]] to the events of the original game to rescue his sister Ada; he also finds and liberates a boy named Henry Oldrey, who grows up to become a soldier for the church who -- wait for it -- enters Dracula's castle, only his mission is to rescue children there.

Reinhardt and Carrie, the original heroes of ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania 64}}'', become playable after completing the game once. See the page for tropes describing their adventures.

* EmbeddedPrecursor: Completing the game as Cornell unlocks the story modes of Carrie and Reinhardt, the original heroes of ''Castlevania 64''.
* FanDisservice: One of the Spider Queen's attacks is to reel in your character with web and chew on him/her with her second mouth. The one that's right at crotch-height on her, latches onto him/her at waist-height, and is complete with thrusting movements.
* FurAgainstFang: The game fits this trope nicely. It not only has a higher than usual number of vampires, but lead character Cornell is a werewolf.
* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: A harpy appears as a boss in Cornell's story.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The [[spoiler:servant posing as Dracula]] from the original release is revealed to be noted 15th century soldier and child killer Gilles de Rais, [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy now a vampire]] and servant of Dracula.
* KingMook: One of the new bosses is Spider Queen, leader of the underground SpiderPeople.

* TheResenter: Ortega, Cornell's rival, who envied Cornell's mastery of his alternate form and sought Dracula's help to match him.
* SchizoTech: Henry wields a flintlock pistol as his primary weapon, which can be reloaded with cartridges. While revolvers did exist during the time period in which his story takes place (1852), cartridge rounds did not, only coming into existence four years later.

* TearsFromAStone: A statue of Virgin Mary appears, which weeps TearsOfBlood.
* TookALevelInBadass: Henry is first met in Cornell's storyline as a helpless young boy that must be escorted out of the premises into safety.
