Getsu Fūma Den (月風魔伝, lit. "Legend of Fūma Getsu ") is a 1987 Famicom game by Konami starring Getsu Fuma. It was released in July 7th, 1987 (in Japan only), which was after the original Castlevania, but before Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

While this game has no sequel, several Getsu Fūma Den-based stages have appeared in other Konami games. These stages are set in Hell and appear in Konami Wai Wai World, Wai Wai World 2: SOS! Parsley Castle, and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.

Relation with the Castlevania seriesEdit

Characters and stages from this game appeared in DLC for Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. The final boss of Getsu Fūma Den is Ryukotsuki, which is also the boss of Chapter 11 in the Harmony of Despair stage "The Legend of Fuma".

The game generally follows Japanese mythology, but several enemies are similar to or as same as those who appear in Castlevania. Some of them are later re-used in Castlevania, such as Shimon, known as Hellmont in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, a parody of Simon Belmont and a Skeleton.
