Let's all save up money to visit Japan so we can all ironically play this game we'll hate. Or perhaps we may even come away with a newfound appreciation for erotic violence.

First Annual Dungeon Plays Dead Franchise Kusoge Pilgrimage 2016

More like officially part of the pachinko timeline, I think.

Interesting backstory for Shaft:

A dark priest who detests peace and attempts to bring descruction and chaos. He revived Dracula, and plots to change this world into one he desires. Once he was a clergyman, but the more he served god, the more he came to see the world as corrupted, and the god he believed in greatly disappointed him. [something about peace and some other stuff] in order to destroy this [society] he dabbled into dark magic, revived Dracula , and plots to change this world into one he desires.

Shiroi, could you perhaps correct this this one please?
Shaft lost faith in God after hearing the latest Shaft movie may be a comedy.

If that's indeed an accurate translation (which I trust is), then ugh. "Destests peace"? At that point is just sounds like Shaft is evil just to be evil.

Also, his overall bio seems contradictory, if he "detests peace" but then was mad that the world was corrupted.

To be fair, that was pretty much always Shaft's backstory. There's a reason Alucard told him, "You claim to love the darkness so much. Go then, and dwell there for eternity."

A dark priest who hates peace and attempts to bring about destruction and chaos. He resurrected Dracula to fulfill his plan to change the world according to his wishes. He was a priest before but the more he served god, the more he saw the world covered in desire (sins), and the god he believed in greatly disappointed him. He construed that the god lead peace causes corruption, dabbling in the dark arts to destroy it, with Dracula's resurrection, he plots to change the world into the one he desires.

Thank you, senpai.  :)

Anyway, from what I understand Shaft wants to reshape the world to his own wishes. Since he allied himself with Dracula I assume that constitutes killing all humans, because humans are the source of all sin, and so on. As to why he hates peace, the description seems to state that he thinks "peace" is the status quo that causes corruption.

Descriptions for Death, Dark Knight, and Skeleton:

God of death. Dracula's confidant and to who he offers his allegiance. He uses dark magic and with his dark weapon, Death Scythe, he hunts for souls.

A Dark Knight in whose armor dwells an evil soul. He gathered several swords.

A monster consisting only of bones. There are also leader types who are equipped with helmets.

man, Konami really needs to ahve it's president assasinated or something. the man is literally killing everything just to be a gambling machine company.

What IS it with these oldschool once-great videogame companies all of a sudden falling under the leadership of absolutely terrible businessmen CEO's?

The promise of wealth, power and expansion? Richer beyond the dream of avarice? These are usually the first reasons of why a once good company devolves into a bad company. In my humble opinion it's nothing more then delusions of grandeur.

Succubus:

A succubus that has taken on the appearance of a voluptuous woman. She has a tempestuous and sadistic, yet erotic personality. Her powers pale in comparision to her masochistic side she also displays. Due to the life force of human men being her primary nourishment, she charms men, and during this instance, sucks out their vitality. 

Hmm, some of these sentences sound really wooden...

In Konami's case, I think mobile games and pachislot/pachinko are more financially appealling to them. Though I'm not sure if this simply makes them more money than before or their video game business was falling behind.

I suppose the Japanese market for Konami made video games on consoles is way below par to be profitable. So they have no choice but to move their assets to the profitable areas of mobile games, slot machines, pachinkos and card games.

Mobile games are one thing, now they're just being whores. It's the allegory of the succubus and why she plays such a dominant role in this game.

I was planning on translating Vampire Anette's bio today but someone else beat me to it:

Annette transformed into a wicked vampire by Dracula. Her sense of self has eroded, and her expression is devoid of her former self. She wields a trident manifested from her wickedness and is a faithful follower of Dracula
