The game's
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night> Wikipedia
page explains the gameplay.
Symphony of the Night uses 2-dimensional side-scrolling gameplay. The
objective is exploring Dracula's castle to defeat an entity who is
controlling Richter Belmont, the self-proclaimed lord of the castle and hero
of the events which took place in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The entity
can only be seen with a particular item obtained during gameplay. Once it is
defeated, the second portion of the game is revealed, eventually leading to
the final battle with a newly awakened Dracula.
The game is non-linear, but most of the castle is inaccessible until various
items and abilities are collected, including shapeshifting into a bat, wolf,
or mist. As the player uncovers more of the castle, a map is updated to show
progress.
While player characters in previous Castlevania games typically used a whip,
the player can find and use a wide variety of weapons. The game includes an
inventory and other RPG elements.
While some criticized it as a 2D game in what had by then become a 3D gaming
world, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night won multiple awards and the
original PS1 version is considered a collectible.
The game is

download from the App Store, with no in-app purchases. It runs on both
iPhone and iPad, and is compatible with the iPhone 5s or later running
anything back as far as iOS 9.0.
