IGN called the game one of the Game Boy's cult classics despite the portable system's limitations. The game was designed as the first game in the series timeline, but later declared non-canon after the release of Lament of Innocence. After Dracula's defeat, he swears to Sonia that as long as there is evil in the world, he will be resurrected, and in response she swears her family will always defeat him. Sonia Belmont, the first vampire hunter of her clan, develops mystical powers in her 17th year, and ventures out to challenge Dracula, meeting Alucard who seeks revenge against his father. The story begins in an unspecified year in the Middle Ages in Transylvania, during the incarnation of the original Count Dracula. Once per stage, Sonia can activate her inborn ability to enter 'Burning Mode', where she becomes invincible, moves faster, and has more powerful attacks for ten seconds. If she loses all of her lives, the player is presented with the Game over screen, where they may exit or choose to continue from the beginning of the current stage. Should the timer run out, Sonia fall off the screen, or either her life bar or time counter fall to zero, she will lose all of her hearts and one life, and will restart at the beginning of the current screen with the basic whip.

The game implements two difficulty levels and password based save states. Each stage ends in a mini-boss fight which rewards a 'Soul Weapon', which Sonia can cast, consuming varying amounts of hearts. Castlevania Legends is a side-scrolling platformer where the protagonist, Sonia Belmont, armed with a whip, charges through five stages of Count Dracula's castle, filled with various enemies and candles containing items.
